Quote: Greg Florimos Boots "Time for the board to put the facts where their mouths are? Time to tell the people the actual reasons we didnt get in to SL. Lets not hide behind the " The RFL wont let us publish the results" smokescreen. After everything that happened in the aftermath of the license decision they really need to go to lengths to quash rumours that our application looked like it had been put toghether by a 10 year old. They are allowed to do it, so lets see it.'"
Not this again GFB!
Do you really think that the best bid by a championship club, with no financial backer, could beat even the worst super league club licence bid?
Yes, wakefield have spun a few lines about a stadium and gone into adminstration but look at it sensibly.
They are a full time club with a full time set up both on and off the pitch and in the office and have been for three years. They have a backer. They have a junior system with full player pathway that has been running with sky money for three years. It produces super league players. They have crowds double ours and can prove it. Their sponsorship portfolio will embarass ours. They probably have better corporate incomes than us, even in that shed of a stadium.
Of course Halifax won't release details of their bid. How embarrassing is it for them that the club expected to be kicked out beat them?
And maybe the RFL HAVE told Halifax to "toe the party line". How embarrassing is it for the RFL to let things slide to such a stage that the weakest in SL is still so much stronger than the strongest in the championship?
Can hardly blame the BOD for not getting involved in that c@@p to be honest, and fair play to them I say!
