Leigh will only have one away match next season which is not in Yorkshire, which is against Swinton at Leigh!!!

Which will be like a home game. Bizarre.

Of course.



But I doubt if you can overcome the problem that it will be seen as one thing, or the other or neither but never both. That's why mergers don't work.

so maybe not a merger with donny or maybe just a tweak on the name change ie South Yorkshire Eagles and keeping all the clubs history,A big area to get fans from and still keeping the identity and playing in sheffield

How would the fans feel about that?

Just getting a bigger chance/area of building up a bigger fanbase and a better chance of a spot in super league.A lot of Eagles fans are not actually from Sheffield anyway,Eso is from Rotherham for example would that be meeted with negativity,Have a think about it.

Yeah, but just changing your name doesn't give you more supporters.



If we changed out name to Europe Eagles, I wouldn't expect a lot of folk from Latvia or Transylvania to be regular Sunday (or Friday) visitors.

A small thing like a name change could make a big difference,Europe Eagles maybe taking it a bit far,Next youll be wanting people to come from Philladelphia.

Just because we would still be called the Eagles, we wouldn't be [iTHE[/i Eagles, if that makes sense. And what about the Donny fans? How do you think they would feel about supporting the South Yorkshire Eagles? It's a complete non starter.

Is this thread still going?

If it was a MERGED team in super league then i would be happy to follow SY Eagles or Don Valley Eagles, as long as the colours were a mixture of red, royal blue and gold.





We may see it as a non starter now but would you still rather be in the Championship in twenty years time while a team from Edinburgh or Birmingham would be in the SL? Aren't Catalan Dragons a merged team? They seem to be doing ok.

Not bad for starters

We are the forward thinking future of RL in SY.



We are on the brink of a new era if only....

Doesnt matter Rupert,I'd rather be in the championship for the next 40 years than have a super league team



If it wasnt for not having that one word "Sheffield" A city that has over 700,000 people but only 1,000 come to the games at a push

Would they be bothered if the sheffield went (Answer no,Probably never heard of us) So why should we be bothered,Bring on the South Yorkshire Eagles.

I wouldn't mind seeing Birmingham in the Super League!

I'd still rather stick pins in my eyes.



The last merger worked a treat, didn't it?
