And I think if they are gone I think that will be us gone forever. I think in effect without the TV money and sponsorship that directly brought in, EVERY club is in effect a Championship club 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember they changed to Sunday for a while but changed it back quite quickly.... Thursday would mean Premiership only wouldn't it? Unless it went to one league...

BSPL have got to try tbf. If we're going down then we have to go down swinging instead of throwing the towel in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield prefer Thursday, but ran a few on Monday, and one National League on Wednesday. Stadium is used for greyhound racing, so restricted by that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS50 Posted yesterday at 10:07 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 10:07 AM 13 hours ago, InTheDeepStuff said: I was told end of last week by another Championship promoter that Sheffield had asked to move back to Championship in 2026, but this week that request had been turned down. Not sure where the club stands now as with no TV money (c£60k pa) and TruPlant sponsorship ending (c£20k pa) that’s a big hole to fill to have funds to pay for Premiership wages How genuine is this information? Whilst Premier won't want to lose Sheffield, reckon Championship would welcome them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its a straight majority vote then it only takes 3 Championship clubs to join the 4 remaining Premiership clubs to turn the request down....
