History
There have been a number of teams in and around the Sheffield area since the inception of American Football in Britain.[1] The Predators were formed in 2008, and after finishing their associate period, entered the BAFANL in 2010.[2]
During this time they have achieved a degree of success, primarily running the Double-wing formation,[3] beating the Peterborough Saxons 39-33 in overtime to take home the Division 2 National Championship in 2012 at the Don Valley Stadium in their home town.
In 2014, the Predators announced a partnership with Structure Sport and Fitness Ltd, a gym in Sheffield, worth over £4000 annually.[4]
