We're still struggling to crawl at the moment.

I`m sure I read today that a statement was released by Sheffield saying they had dispensed with Mitch Sringers services with immediate effect .I can`t find it now though .

It was on sheffields Twitter account

"Dispensed with his services" is a strange turn of phrase but he's gone.

Club stalwart was stringer, Ive heard he's on his way to York, whether that comes off or not I dont know.



Apparently he hasn't played for Sheffield since losing the captaincy.



What is becoming apparent to those on the outside, is there are a lot of issues at Sheffield, Big financial backer withdrawing, Chairman "gifting" money to the club to see the season through, chairman also resigning, Gone full time and results not what were expected (to be fair London were garbage last season and now they're flying, maybe it needs time), 3rd or 4th home venue in as many years.



Sheffield is a football city, 2 massive sides who would easily get 40000 each week if both got to the premier league, if there's people happy to throw money at Sheffield Eagles then that's their personal choice, but even after a few relatively successful years interest hasn't picked up. And sadly, never will

Perhaps the best solution is to merge them with someone else of a similar standing...Underbank perhaps this time!

Take your point but, actually, Bramall Lane isn't that big.

Fev facing yet another winding up order as well. Teams just living way beyond their means.

Madness.

Perhaps you were on holiday and missed the news about a merger with Huddersfield.



I have a cunning stunt and I must confess to having learned it from Halifax.



We find someone about whom the press tell fibs and has made his riches via unorthodox methods.I know quite a few people of this ilk.I may approach them.



It's better to spend money on a rugby league club that may have a permanent home in the city they represent,than squander it,I believe.

Let's face it Sheffield aren't the only ones to be living beyond their means when it comes to fan base and income streams, and relying on investors or philanthropy.

Sheffield just sit at one end of the spectrum I.e. Full time, with spectator numbers not wildly different to the number of spectators watching some of the local Amatuer Rugby Union Clubs or a top Amatuer RL club like Siddal.

Sheffields situation was always precarious, as is Londons and many other RL outposts.

I love RL, but the folks of Sheffield have plenty of Sport to spend their brass on.

On another note, regarding Sheffield, has Aston also relied on a few key players and a big pack for a few too many years, I wonder if Bing part time and not crap might have made a difference short term.

And your point is? We all know about Tony and his wedding.....
