Oh good you really have got some long journeys next season rupert, we only have to go as far as Leigh

I was expecting that the RFL may put us in a London + Scorpions group for the NRC but as other posts have suggested we may not be having groups.

So what your saying is Griff,If someone did come up with a "plan" and it was good that may change peoples opinions which were against it at the start,(Cut arms off etc ) and could be a possibilty?

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.

Re: South Yorkshire Team : Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:33 pm  

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.

Re: South Yorkshire Team : Tue Oct 11, 2011 7:02 pm  

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.

Re: South Yorkshire Team : Tue Oct 11, 2011 7:12 pm  

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.

Re: South Yorkshire Team : Tue Oct 11, 2011 8:20 pm  

Just because we would still be called the Eagles, we wouldn't be THE 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.
