All this backs up is that the RFL is a complete joke. They messed up when they left Widnes out last time for the Crusaders. Now they'd rather have their exclusive club filled with finacially unstable teams then admit their mistakes.

I feel for you guys. We went through this at Leigh when we missed out to let the Celtic Crusaders in last time around. And what a raging success that has been!!! We weren't even allowed to include the LSV in our bid, so all this talk of facilities and stadia is mostly rubbish.

In my opinion the only thing that this licensing does is allow the RFL to have no back bone.

On a selfish note...I am glad Halifax are still in the Ch with us - Hopefully we will have more games against each other like the NRC final last week.

well nigel wood is on bbc look north tonight to be interviewed by Harry Gration.

I would start by by sending an e-mail off to Look North to say how disgusted you are with the decision and then say how people would donate to a legal fund to fight this disgraceful decision

and if you were really angry you could stand at the gates at the BBC to speak to himself in person

My sympathies. 3 years ago they put Crusaders in over Leigh, with Dick Lewis spouting complete bull to justify his decision.
This time you have all got the short end of the stick.
You are a great set of fans and don't deserve this.

I have no interest in watching three more years of pointless rugby. Slowly watching as my friends drift away from the game one by one, standing in the south stand which even now is devoid of the atmosphere it once had. There is no avoiding the fact that this club will not survive if we loose the same amount of fans between now and 2016 as we did between 2008 and now.

I wouldn't bother, Harry Gration hates Halifax more then the RFL. Expect him to help Lewis through the interview tonight with easy questions. Mainly about how keeping Wakefield in would help their situation, blah, blah, blah.

It's crazy.

I have no connection to either Halifax or Wakefield - this was a no-brainer as to who should have got the spot.

Unfortunately, no-brainers made the decision...

Disgusted.

There was a time when some brave Northern clubs split from the RU farts. Is it time for some brave Northern Clubs to split from the corrupt RFL?

fax have to act on this,it is a disgrace.the rfl have blatantly lied.disgusted.

Email address for look north? Lets bombard their studio with emails.

And be No 1 in a league of 1 ?

No thanks.

enquiries@rfl.uk.com Work out the naming convention for individuals, press, media... Im afraid were on our own, its upto fans now. RFL are untouchables, and the old boys down at the Shay dont really have the stomach for a fight or tipping the apple cart over.

They may not be but i would love to be a fly on the wall if Ian Croad is allowed in the discussion with Richard Lewis.

Hard luck fax , the wrong decision yet again by the r.f.l.
Best of luck for next time.
