It's a non starter and personally I'd rather saw my own arm off, I'm tempted to lock the thread.

Lock the thread

Good debate,As i said before if it was done right id be up for it,Theres only so much championship rugby you can watch,At least in years gone by you had a chance to get there via finishing top of the league,That gateway has been shut (wrongly in my opinion),The best days of the Eagles were in the super league,Beating saints,Leeds and Bradford quite regulary and beating wigan and winning the challenge cup,Im sure the dons fans will say the same when they had there season at the top.

But it wouldn't be the Eagles would it?

Depends on how it would be done.

This is a pointless thread, i personally would never entertain a joint club. Im from Sheffield and i support Sheffield, no one else.

And your plan is ......

Havnt really looked into the planning stage,If there was enough interest that would be a starter then a plan formed,Nobody wants it,roll on Swinton away 2023.

This.

No one wants it because there's no plan and there's no plan because no one wants it.

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?

I don’t think for one minute that the words ‘Sheffield’ and ‘Doncaster’ are now ,or will ever be on the RFL agenda for Super League membership. I am happy to follow my team as they are now but if anyone seriously harbours any ambition of wanting a Super League club in South Yorkshire then a proper merger would be the only way forward. I don’t see why it would be a problem, after all I would not be a Dons fan following Sheffield, and you would not be an Eagles fan following Donny, we would both be South Yorkshire RL fans. I don’t think this would ever happen, but it is a shame because in the end both sets of fans will lose out. We will both rattle around the Championship and CC1 for the next decade or so until RL at this level fades away and dies. Anyhow I off now to look up B & Bs near Workington, Whitehaven, Barrow, Gateshead, South Wales, Gateshead and London….

Speak for yourselves, we won't be going anywhere near CC1 anytime soon!
