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.

I really feel for the Wakefield fans. I don't want any club to struggle. I want three strong rugby league divisions.

Had a read of the Wakey thread and it's no laughing matter.

Excuse my cynicism but I suspect most Cas fans (especially those at the 2006 relegation decider) are privately allowing themselves some enjoyment at Wakey's situation. Whilst it would be better if that enjoyment wasn't broadcast (not least because we are still a long way from having the last laugh) I wonder if Trinity supporters might actually prefer our smug satisfaction to expressions of sympathy at a time when they surely need fighting spirit more than pity.

Generally, I am pleased by most Cas fans reactions to what is going on at Wakefield. It shows that real supporters of the game know how much Rugby League is part of this areas heritage.

Derby games between Wakefield, Castleford and Featherstone, set tongues wagging and promote the game enormously.

Losing any RL club, e.g. Blackpool is sad for the game, but we continue to shoot ourselves in the foot.

Recent games between Cas and Wakey have always been well attended and the majority of supporters want them to continue, only those with pea sized brains and large mouths fail to understand that.

The Richardson clan at Belle Vue have been taking the michael out of the supporters for years with their deceit.

Their supporters deserve better and with potential investors in the wings, I am sure that better times are ahead, and that Newmarket will go ahead even if administration is a necessity to remove the current owners.

It's one thing to gloat about relegating a team via a crucial match, but something totally different to gloat about a club going out of existence.

If it was 'just' being relegated, I'd have a wry smile about it. As it's about the club going to the wall, I have nothing but sympathy for the fans, players and employees for the club. They've been sh@t on.
