. . . if we want SL.

This is now obvious more than ever after yesterdays events. Wakefield's recent past and failed promises had no effect on their bid whatsoever, however the plans given by a new wealthy backer obviously did though, rightly or wrongly. And then Crusaders - a lesson to be learnt.

This is not to denegrate the fantastic work our BOD do but - a backer. Any on the horizon? Show yourself now! icon_smile.gif

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



Or another 2,000 fans

But I'll tell you something , get the 2,000 fans first and a ' backer ' will turn up

Because of the dearth of young talent. But surely the franchise system and the many excellent youth systems out there will mean there is an excess supply of youth players, and more full time environments will be required to ensure there players are not lost (sic)

Fourteen teams is right.

It fits the length of the season.

I have It on very good authority that the reason the RFL gave to us regarding our application failure is our lack of a single big money backer. If you read Mike Rileys post he alludes to this I believe several times within his statement if you re-read it. I find this truly appalling as surely a stable RL club not reliant on a single benefactor is a more sound business option than one that is. Crusaders, londequins are testament to that. If O'Connor gets bored and pulls his cash where does that leave Widnes. It just stinks if you ask me!!

Quite an interesting quote from MS here“At the moment, all I can think is that Wakefield and their new owner have made promises regarding money in the future.

“The RFL suggested to us that were we able to pledge additional investment, if there was ever a shortfall to make up, it might make the whole process easier.

“We were not prepared to promise something we did not know whether we could deliver

So the RFL are saying this system is ment to stop boom or bust but it looks like their requirements are actually encouraging it.

So at least we know what is needed, along with ticking a box. It doesn't have to be one single backer though. Looks like we're in the Championships for the long haul.

Steve O'Connor has organised an astute business plan to enable the Vikings to be self sustainable.

LR it does need a sugar daddy, a single multi millionaire backer who will bankroll the club. Seemingly the only major thing We don't have yet are a completely viable business.

In the future maybe but that still is theoretical as it his money that as got you where you are and not the clubs own revenue streams. If he was to go today would the club be able to say they are 100% self funding, I doubt it??

Looks like the gaping hole in our application was that we didnt make promises that we couldnt keep.
