Chairman Kevin McCabe, following the formal business of last Friday's AGM, answered questions from the audience and media about several issues connected with the Club. Here is a brief synopsis of what his reactions were:

On Sheffield Eagles
"It is a trial period so we will see how it goes from there. I don't see why the stadium can't be used for other sports, and if rugby league doesn't interfere with the playing surface, or affects the football, then we can do it.

"Looking ahead, there's the rugby league World Cup in 2013 and there is a possibility that Bramall Lane could be considered."

On investment
"We are still in the process of looking to find partners who follow our vision for the future of the club and recognise the business model we have created, so the search continues.

"I'd like to think something can happen but my reservation is that we are in a crazy world at the moment where a recession has hit. That makes it more difficult than if it was normal circumstances, although I am optimistic."

On the money from West Ham
"It is all agreed and the initial amount was all set out with West Ham's backing."

On the transfer window
"We are working hard to procure finance to accommodate the transfer window. The banks are in disarray so that is a dilemma affecting a number of clubs at present."

On the Academy
"We are looking to re-shape the Academy, hopefully to get better performances in the years ahead. We have some excellent people in at Shirecliffe but, like anything, things need freshening up."
