Why do a draw for the semi finals before anyone has played the quarter final games. I know it happens with the FA cup when there are replays but no need to do it with the Challenge Cup until all the quaters have been played. Just totally nuts and then they screw it up evenmore. You couldn't make it up.

Well the semi final draw tonight was a complete joke,what a total disaster. Typical EIHL screw up involving an M+S bag and too many things in it apparently. Hahahahaha Next year they might as well do it with stockings over their heads. The people behind the EIHL are either as dumb as rocks or are now taking the pee out of the paying supporters to a whole new level.

The amount of unprofessionalism and obvious co-incidences is unbelievable, not just this year, but ever since the Elite league started. This isn't some Pub team Sunday league here... To think that us fans pay hundreds and thousands of pounds towards watching our team play in this tin pot league is frightening to be honest.

To be honest we can laugh about it or just shake your head at the stupidity but the bottom line is if they were *REALLY* looking to the long term future and not just grabbing the money and getting ready to run when it all falls apart they would be doing things with sponsorship or TV in mind. How could you ever talk a major company into sponsorship when things like this are going on? It's ok thinking well we don't have the money that football has but the thinking should not be just for the already converted fans but the bigger picture. We laugh but big sponsors would run a mile and get better value and coverage in a far better run sport.

Pathetic. Most pub teams are run better than this, and why does everything now seem to revolve around Sheffield? It's a shame people like Seth Bennet are so blaise about something which should be so much more professionally handled, instead we have an absolute shambles of a draw, and those involved making flippant comments rather than condemning it for it's total shoddiness. What organisation would touch the EIHL after watching that?

They should have scrapped the draw and redone it, now it just looks like a big fix.

I know Tony Smith is the chairman but surely that isn't a permanent position and shouldn't the nine other club owners have input? Or maybe the status quo suits everyone involved. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.
