| rlWildcats make new investment plearl
I think it highlights how quickly a club can get in to trouble, hopefully ProBiz will continue to pump money in to Cas

| Although there are no doubt some that will delight in this news (as would be the case if the roles were reversed) its sad that it has to come to this, lets hope wakey can find the investment they need to stay afloat. It shows how desperate things have become for them to make a statement like this as they've basically ruled themselves out of a franchise now.

| Very sad news. Certainly a tall order to raise that sort of money in such a short amount of time.
What happens if they don't raise the money? Will they be able to start the season?

| I don't really follow this.
They are giving 24 days for 500 people to spend £1000? That's a big ask in these times.
What do they need the £500,000 for? Is there a bill to pay immediately? Is it a shortfall for this year that they will need to make up? What if they don't make the target? Might they start the season and fold halfway or will they not even be able to start?
Far too many questions and far too little detail coming out.

| I think that's what a number of Wakefield fans are wondering too. Certainly I would do all I could to help Cas if we were on the brink of failing, but to find £1k is a tall order for many, and without any information as to why they need the money or even what it'll be used for just sounds like asking people to pour money into a pit of good faith. I don't think I could do that for Cas.

| Putting all local rivalries aside i hope they get through this - they are a club with a history and true grass routes, what i can say is i prefer playing wakey at home with the support they bring rather than some expansion clubs who may bring 20 fans if we are very lucky.
Can't help but think if they were an expansion club they would be get a bit more "help" from the RFL than they are

| Gutted for them. It does make our application look stronger, but I'd hate to see them go under. The Wakefield and Castleford derby is one of the highlights of the season.

| What gets me is why is the one for the drop between us and Wakey? surely if Crusaders have gone in to administration they should be dropped from SL automatically

The same reason why they kept harlequins in when they went into administration, they really are no longer interested in the heartland of the sport. It's all about expansion and keeping these clubs in no matter what!
Whether this proves to be right in the long term we wait to see.

| Quote: "RFL or super league loaned Crusaders 700 thousand pounds to be paid back over ten years Wakey asked for 350 thousand to be paid back in 12 months and were refused !!! Don't get me wrong I am not blaming them for our downfall but between them and how our club as been run for the last few years I would be surprised if we get out of this one '"
I think the 700 grand was not a loan but monies owed to the rfl by crusaders which is probably made up of league fees and monies given to the club when they started up. After the fiasco of the monies owed i think many more clubs will find it harder in the future to get financial assistance from the rfl.
