I've heard rumours from a number of people all pointing towards the decsion being possitive for HRLFC.

I cannot see the issue with the north stand being a major problem with our application, as im sure that part of our bid is more than up to scratch compared to Cas, wakey and the like. Especially after Hudds cheif ex and players commenting, and saying how brilliant the facilities and playing suraface at the Shay now are. W have proved we can hold top level rugby.

let it happen

Part Quote. "Especially after Hudds cheif ex and players commenting, and saying how brilliant the facilities and playing suraface at the Shay now are. W have proved we can hold top level rugby."

Also the fact that the Giants were given the green light by the RFL to play their games at the Shay and Sky have had couple of them screened live must say that the ground, facilities etc are of an exceptable standard for SL.

EXACTLY.

we have already ticked the box for the stadium and facilities anyway. so i cant see this been an issue.

if and it is 'if' we have an interested party with deep pockets, i can see us been given the go ahead. we would bring just as much if not more to SL than alot of current members.

It's be plans for full youth set up ready to roll that could be a deciding spot tbh.

Let's be honest due to location Quins, Salford & Cru are safe. Say Wakey already gone leaves you up against Cas who will be hoping full new stadium plans signed off immanently. Would the RFL lose a full time fully functioning youth set up if not at least replaced by another? Never mind they are a top 8 side.

Personally I'd pump for you ahead if Salford perhaps but their 'Manchester' lovation and finally new ground will see them safe.

I think that if we get the Nod then it would be a great opportunity for Brian Noble to recruit and get back into SL as a coach, perhaps that is why he is still with us and will be until at least end of July.
If i were in his position thats what i would be doing for sure. He would surely be given first refusal.

17 July NR cup winners, thats 3 lots of silverware in 2 years, Northern Rail Nines, 2010 Champions and NRC champions,

26th July - We are SL
27th July - Noble is FT coach. ( not disrespecting Matt Calland but he has a full time job )

There are a couple of things that put some doubt in my mind and one of them goes back to the day Widnes were given the nod and as far as I'm concerned and a lot of others on here said fair enough.

What i can still clearly remember when Richard Lewis was talking about their appointment he was absolutely beaming from cheek to cheek with enthusiasm about Widnes, his smile was that wide he looked like he had gone to bed with a coat hanger in his mouth.

When the interviewer mentioned Halifax and the fact that they had also ticked the boxes and met all the criteria it was like turning the light off, the smile quickly dissapeared and the very formal rhetoric speech took over, no enthusiasm, no big raps, it looked like he had just been told he only had 2 weeks to live, the body language said we have no chance.
Not long to wait so here's hoping.

In all fairness, that press conference was about Widnes. Although we were mentioned, it was their moment in the limelight and their moment to celebrate.

i just have a feeling something is going on and it may well rock the boat

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



On yesterdays GMR phone in a Widnes fan texted in that he would prefer to remain in the Championship , maybe worried about what the future might bring , you should always be careful what you wish for , anybody remember Roald Dahls ' The Monkeys Paw ' icon_wink.gif

Don't worry just the odd cretin that probably heard we had a below par performance (yet won) just decides talking crap about our prospects time was back again!

The new stadium was signed off a couple of months ago, just waiting on planning permission on Wheldon Road to get the money from Opus North for a Supermarket where the current stadium is, this is being discussed this month by the council and building is pencilled in to start by the end of this year.

If 2 come up it's a 15 team league (which would make sense for the Championship with Toulouse going, promote an extra team from C1 makes it even again). But I can see it staying at 14 and Halifax were only told they're still in the running so the RFL can say they gave them another chance but just don't meet the standard compared to the existing clubs try again in 3 years (when you will beat Wakefield in the criteria).

Just waiting on this, Just waiting on that, You have been waiting for 3 years to take a drawing into a 3D match design. Lets just wait and see where it goes. No Championship games on Sky next year anyway apparently, its going to be premier sport or something if rumours are true.

At least get your facts right eusa_wall.gif

In 3 years there's been 2 buyers for Wheldon Road (first pulled out this year)
Outline & full planning permission granted
Architects appointed and designs completed
Contractors hired
2 sponsors for the stadium adding up to about 10% of total funding

So a lot of movement in 3 years, with no council support in the middle of a global recession.
