How do you think the move to Owlerton will affect crowds ?

I think we'll see a significant increase.

Re: Crowds : Fri Jan 17, 2014 9:07 am  

Agreed, Sunday afternoons will help and the Don Valley was a shocking place to watch rugby

Re: Crowds : Fri Jan 17, 2014 9:12 am  

Well, Owlerton's not great but Sunday will be a help.

Re: Crowds : Fri Jan 17, 2014 9:54 am  

true, I was thinking more as well about the immediate vicinity to the ground as well, Attercliffe on a Friday night was never the most welcoming place!

Re: Crowds : Fri Jan 17, 2014 5:18 pm  

I predict a slight increase in attendance as mentioned Sunday kickoffs will definitely help however the downsides are no seats and if it is raining there is not much cover

Well this looks positive @SheffieldEagles Pleased to announce season ticket sales have surpassed 2013 levels with over 4 weeks until the start of the season.. http://www.sheffieldeagles.com/index.ph ... Itemid=490 … From The website "Sheffield Eagles are pleased to announce that season ticket sales have already surpassed 2013 sales with over four weeks to go until the start of the season. The Eagles will recommence life at their new home, Owlerton Stadium, on Sunday 16th February (2pm) against Rochdale Hornets, the Eagles first ever opponents when the club formed in 1984. That game also took place at Owlerton and supporters have been quickly securing their season tickets to make sure they witness this historic match and all of the 2014 action as the Eagles look to retain the Championship Trophy for a third successive season. Eagles Marketing Manager Liam Claffey said, “Season Ticket sales have been fantastic so far and it’s great to have so many supporters on board already for 2014. “It’s very encouraging, the number of people who are new season ticket holders for 2014 as we head back to Owlerton. “We still have a number of current season ticket holders who are yet to renew but the feedback we have received from the majority of them is that they will renew as the season approaches.” Great savings can still be made by purchasing a season ticket. Adults can save a total of £78 compared with purchasing tickets for individual matches with significant savings for concessions, students and juniors as well. The reintroduction of family season tickets provides a further very competitively priced option. The family season tickets (2 adults and 2 children) are proving very popular with Liam adding; “Moving back to Sunday afternoon is attracting families to enjoy top class rugby league action with the Eagles which is great and we’ll hopefully attract old and new fans alike.” Season Tickets can be purchased by either calling 0114 261 0326, completing an application and sending to info@sheffieldeagles.com or in person at the Eagles Offices at the Forsyth Enterprise Centre, John Street, S2 4SU. More details on season ticket prices can be found by going our season ticket page by clicking here or by downloading the season ticket brochure [CLICK HERE]. #JoinTheJourney" As mentioned Attercliffe was an awful place to go on a Friday night and Friday nights themselves were not crowd pullers. We're in a better area of the city and back to Sunday games more are bound to come
