When Wakey won promotion in 1998 the championship clubs voted to give them 140k as they wernt getting any sky money to enable them to compete, in return Wakey assured they would stand up for P+R. 12 months later they disgracefully went back on that then in 2000 voted against Dewsbury been promoted. Im sorry but what goes round comes round, they will find very little sympathy from championship club. Also they voted to accept the licensing system so they have got what they voted for.Love to see what there crowds will be like in the championship after all the remarks aimed at Rovers all these years, because i will bet any money in the world the city clubs crowds will be less than the village clubs

well if they dont do it tomorrow, there in trouble

Widnes were not given a franchise due to going into administration, despite the fact they had picked up a millionaire backer since!

I'm sure that thinking would have applied to Wakey's bid had SL not decided to review their membership criteria in the light of Crusader's predicament. In that respect Wakey have dropped lucky but few would argue that they are less deserving of such good fortune than the Welsh club. I suspect any resentment Widnes way won't fester for long with their license already in the bag.

rlPOLECATS IN ADMINISTRATIONrl

Although it's a bit of chicken and egg situation, because the HMRC wouldn't have pulled the plug on tax arrangements had the Crusaders not gone into admin, and so maybe we wouldn't have done. So maybe lucky in that a new investor will come in sooner rather than later, although admin doesn't look as good on your CV. Then again, neither does dwindling crowds and finishing bottom, which would have happened if there had been no change of regime.
