Craig Poskitt commercial manager of the year at the last awards, some of the biggest sponsors in the game, does work for the RFL...

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



A simple scenario

Take Fax out of the equation , and you have 14 clubs for 13 places , which means an elimination process , very negative

Put Fax in and you have an application process , can be ' spun ' as positive

The RFL were desperate to have clubs applying from the Championship [ otherwise it doesn't look very good if only one club passes the criteria ] to the point where they encouraged Fax to post a 5,000 odd attendance at their last league match by giving away several thousand tickets at a county fair to people whi did not attend

If Barrow failed on the set down criteria , why have the RFL even let them apply ? , it was pointless , but it has allowed them to have a ' competition ' with one club ' winning ' , one club ' eliminated ' , and one club given a second chance

So Fax are just there to give the licence process a bit of credibility , it really is pathetic

So basically people , you are safe as long as you ' beat ' Wakey , if you cant do that given their current situation , then you really dont deserve SL do you ?

All the best

Which dosent really prove your point does it? But then again, nothing you have posted on this matter has a shred of credibility to it.

So being the best commercial manager doesn't make you the best now does it? Right oh d040.gif

Or the fact a small town team gets some of the biggest sponsors in the game without winning things?

You really are beyond simple and this is the last time I waste my time explaining something to a simpleton like yourself, run along now.

I'd rather be in Cas's shoes, i doubt ill be looking into flights to Perpignon for a long time, unless one of your fair maidens from Castleford wants a self sufficient Fax geezer, i might do it of Fax play Toulouse on the same weekend icon_biggrin.gif icon_lol.gif

It dosent mean that you bring in the most commercial revenue though does it? I mean i bet you were awarded a prize from your mum saying you were clever, when you clearly arent. And how could you with your limited ageing stadium. And you don't know what other clubs bring in with regards to sponsorship do you? If you do let's have the details?

Ladies & gentlemen, this is why you don't put lead paint in the nursery!

Commercial success is making money relative to your facilities, the fact Cas pull in money that exceeds the so called "top" teams shows that the Castleford commercial department is far above anyone elses.

But the fact you're too stupid to realise it's the amount of money you make relative to facilities & size, not how much money you make overall, the RFL knows this and that's one of the important things, not some pond life like you.

So yet again you provide no evidence to back up your stupid claims do you? Is this the same guy who arranged your main shirt deal with someone who wasnt allowed to make the deal?

Come on, list every clubs sponsorship and comercial income? Or are you now backing down from your statement that your club has the biggest sponosorship and comercial deals in RL?

EVENTUALLY, WE'LL WIN SOMETHING, ,MAYBE, IF I'M STILL ALIVE THEN:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_31007.jpg



Even our application should be stronger than Halifax's.

The RFL are just saying "yeah, course we'll still consider it" in the same way that the man in the lottery shop says, "yeah, course you can have a lucky dip". Still no chance of winning it.

Quote: Mr Cas "Like i say im going on what the RFL have said, its not my opinion its the fact that they have come out and said they meet all the criteria so how can they justify not promoting them in July?

Im not really up on all the requirements so im probabaly wrong with what im saying so feel free to correct me. But what im saying is even though the rest of our bid is great, we dont meet all the criteria as we dont have a stadium and wont be judged on it as we won't be in it 2012. While they have said Fax meet all the criteria. '"
