Read the "Leading Horse to Water" thread.

I do warn you, The thread may cause side splitting laugher, So much so, That you may end up in tears. Prepare to roll on the floor

Yeah I always find the slow death of a RL club side-splitting. Show some class.

I'm as great a fan of [ischadenfreude[/i as anyone. But it doesn't make me laugh at all, tbh. It makes me feel sorry for fans who appear to have been royally done over.

The only thing that makes me cry is the realisation of the number of bellends we seem to have masquerading as rugby league fans

The game is no longer "Rugby League" as it was.

We are run by an organisation, Who run it by their own ever changing rules. They have bank rolled 2 clubs, Due to their location. And its the RFL to blame for killing the game.

The sport is so much more than Rugby League now, Its just business

What part of your personal bitterness to the RFL running a group of businesses like any other professional governing body makes the collapse of Wakefield funny? Am I missing something hilarious here?

Its not really relevant. But, I am a fan of the sport. A sport that should be based with the best teams, In the best divisions, As it used to be.

What we're involved with, Is not quite the same

And i dont for one minute mean this to most of the fans. I feel for most. I find it comical, That we offered the idiots like Ted Richardson an out, And they laughed in our faces. Its those who i have no compasion for.

Is that some sort of a climb down? its hilarious after the fiasco as to who owns the club I rather think that it is us fans that are the idiots and not Lord Ted, and as for laughing in your face I would say its six and two threes' there pal as neither wanted it hth.

I am sure there will be some kind of legal comeback to Ted, He has taken you all for a ride.

I actually thought he was doing, And have said it for a while. That he pursued Newmarket, Knowing that it would be called in for Public Enquiry, Then he could plead to the fans he had tried, But the council were to blame. And he could quit then.

Even i didnt think he was capable of this.

I'm not laughing at Wakefield either. I hope that the new buyers are going to do the right thing by them for a change and not mess them around.

Its a dog eat dog world. If this gives the RFL ammunition to boot Wakey out and keep us in, then I will take that. I don't envy their situation but if the boot was on the other foot, a lot of their fans would be giving it large.

well said

If it was you would be sure that some Wakey fans would feel the same.

... and that makes this okay? So because some fans MIGHT have been dicks if the roles were switched, it makes it alright for people to find it "side-splitting" that another local club is going under.
