Quote: marshman "I'm really positive about our bid. We all know the stadium is a big factor and we're still not in it or even building it. That said we're a good way in to it and many hurdles have been overcome. My confidence though isn't in our stadium application, but that of every other part of the process. I remember last franchise, we didn't just work on our stadium then either and things such as our youth set up have come on leaps and bounds. We're always working to improve in the community and grow our club but also be a valuable asset to the community in the things we do (not just rugby). We're a classic example of how a franchise awarded club should progress. some will do it faster than others, money being a big factor, but that's something we don't have in chunks but then again we're never in major debt either. We're always realistic in what we can achieve money wise and don't go too far with it. I'm confident we'll get another nudge to get our stadium sorted and that we'll be given the nod for doing the things the RFL want in the right way.'"
Id agree with that mate. Like i said in another thread though the only thing that worries me is them saying Fax meet all the criteria and if anyone is to go next after Wakey its obviously not going to be any of their precious expansion clubs!
