What does a post count have to do with anything?
Quote: Haighy "We have no reserve grade, our gate price is too expensive, the NRC performance had a massive hit on our attendances and the Challenge Cup debacle also had a double whammy of crowds dropping, loss of confidence from fans in the club and on the outside world seeing Fax not being able to run the club properly.
Through all this though, we are 2nd and in great form to get us to a second consecutive Grand Final. We deserve the right to apply for a SL license, just as much as Widnes, Leigh, Barrow and Batley.'"
Yeah but the only reason you have a strong first team is because 100% of your squad budget is going into the first team and first team only. If 100% of Widnes' budget only went into first team I'm positive it would be a different story.
I'm not denying you don't have a right to apply. Would it not make more sense to save the money that it will cost in terms of time invested, documentation produced/printed etc to submit a bid and invest that time and money somewhere where it's more needed? Such as defining a youth strategy or long term business plan?
It's pretty obvious where your short falls are and you don't need to waste time and money on a bid for someone else to point it out to you.
