Well the club has been told why they failed and on what areas so i guess we just wait and see if they tell the fans why. The interview on Look North with Ralph Rimmer was fun where he had said he had told the club why thy had failed but then when pushed by HG said he couldnt say why they had failed until the club were told.

The way Rowley whined and bleated was wrong, yes.

Steele has done the same thing - didn't work for Leigh and won't work for Halifax.

Whilst I understand your frustration , and even as a Cas fan , I do think you are being a little harsh on Wakey under the circumstances . Yes , you are absolutely correct that they went into administration , but they were able to do so confident in the knowledge that it wouldn't prevent them from applying for a super league franchise , as this rule had been ' wavered ' but not because of Wakey , but because of the Crusaders . When you look at the situation with the ground you are , again , absolutely correct in stating that Wakey have failed to fulfill their promise of a new stadium ( as have Cas at the moment to be fair ) , but there seems no doubt on here or on any of the other forums that Halifax ground is , at the moment , better than those of Wakey and Cas , and I would agree , but this has also been noted by the RFL , who will have awarded a point on the Fax application under stadium , but not under the Wakey or Cas application and , as has been stated on numerous occasions , this was not the only criteria of a super league franchise , and on all other points Wakey will have outscored you . Now , once again I don't doubt that you could have done much more on these fronts with the cash that SL clubs have had , and the security of 3 years in the top flight , had you been in their position , but the fact remains that you were not , however harsh that seems . Your main chance of a SL place was when the Championship applications were submitted , but unfortunately you came up against a very strong application from Widnes , there was absolutely no obligation from the RFL to promote a second championship side , and they did praise your application and actually gave you a second chance , but this may have turned out to be as protection for themselves in case , as has happened , a SL team was unable to continue , and they could save their own embarassment by promoting you . Rest assured that if a further SL team withdraws / Folds , you will be a shue in to fill their place , and rightly so . To be fair to Wakey their comminity work has merited a mention by the RFL to such an extent that they want other SL clubs to follow Wakeys example
In summary , and in a strange kind of way , it isn't Wakey that you should be angry at , it is the Crusaders . Had they not gone into administration in the first place , or having gone into administration , had they then decided to remove themselves from SL and not wait until yesterday , then you would also have been a SL club next year , as the RFL would definitely not have ' wavered ' the administration rule for Wakey ( or any other Sl club apart from expansion teams or Leeds , Wigan , Saints , Wire , Hull ) and Wakey wouldn't have been able to apply for a franchise this time around , Crusaders would have been out and Widnes and Fax ( the best 2 championship applications ) would have been in SL from 2012 .

Sorry if this upsets , and I know feelings are running high at the moment , and understandably so , but it isn't really Wakey's fault , they have , under the current stipulations of the RFL met with the requirements to be awarded a franchise for the next 3 years

Oi, Taffy!!! Don't come round here with that "talking sense and using facts" nonsense!

Flash git.

Back to the original topic - what are we going to do to protest?

Organised sit in at the end of a game? Half Time Pitch demonstration like the one at Thrum Hall a few years ago?

We need to do something, organised and together - to show the RFL that they can't treat lower league clubs this badly.

Who is on Sky on Thursday?

il back fax a proper club. this system is turning everyone against each other. what do the RFL actually want from the game.

Hmmm just seen it's Featherstone at home, might not be a good game to go to to protest against the RFL!?

Great post. Exactly my point. This whole process turns fans against each other. Until today, I had nothing against wakey, in fact I could relate to them and their fans. There are many similarities between our clubs. Now I resent wakey. That isn't what rugby league is about.

Sorry Claire this is o/t but was in answer to all comments previously made . I have started a new topic with same post . Once again , sorry

It needs to be at our next televised game and needs to be well thought out and well organised. Needs to be something that is impossible for the Sky cameras to ignore, where they have to focus on it no matter what. Would be cool to delay the kick off with people on the pitch with the clubs and players agreement but without Sky getting wind of it so it delays their broadcast.

Well you will be doubly pleased the BOD let us down badly in the application in the first place as it was full of holes and to compound that a Director is only making it worse so if all this is true, be happy.
Fev will undoubtably do a much better job and will be treated completetly fairly by the RFL.
It's true it really is.

the club could put a black armband into the club kit and the shop could sell them to supporters?

Because your application was the worst.



Bent and twisted what rules ?



Maybe the mods would like to look at this accusation and consider whether it should be deleted.



It's just a game. It won't be the better for letting every club into the top division. Someone must lose out.



Maybe you should look at how the club projects its image.

Everthing you say is said from a lets knock "Halifax at every occasion" perspective, why is that what is it about the club and it's supporters that you dislike so much.
