I think the difference between Wakey and us is on the playing front. With the Bulls we have some young players who we are looking to build the squad around (Bateman, Whitehead, O'Brien, Burgess etc) Wakey didn't really have this. It was sort of a thrown toegther squad. They lost some decent players but i don't think it was really a squad they were building for great things in the future IMHO.Our squad isn't great at the minute, but it is building.

If we go into administration, we lose everything we have been trying to build for the last couple of years, some of the most talented home grown players playing for different clubs, and then we also have the problem of attracting a buyer. I think we have a lot more to lose than Wakefield did last year.

For Wakefield it was a step forward. Andrew Glover has transformed your club. Your attendances are looking very healthy indeed. I believe you can build something down there, whereas before, i never felt Wakefield were building anything. At the bulls we currently have the home grown talent to build something.

I believe it is worth putting the money in to keep the likes of Bateman, Whitehead, Donaldson etc.

Oh dear a jumped tool that can't read!

Totally agree!

When we were in the mire in 2000, we were more than willing to relinquish our Super League place to remain a going concern. A club in the lower league was a better prospect than having no club at all! Thankfully fate threw us a lifeline (or two!!) and I hope you find a way through this too!

Having read what the Wakey fans are saying, a supporters trust / fighting fund does sound the better option as it would get rid of the dead wood at the top of the club and you can start afresh!

For those interested in a pledge, what do you think of this idea. viewtopic.php?f=19&t=523137

I think the majority would yes, and I was there as a neutral, so this is not just bravado talking. I think most Wakey supporters thought that the long term future of the club was more important than SL Rugby!

That all said, they also thought there best chance of continuing SL Rugby was to see new management at the helm... & they were right. I think you best chance of staying SL is to accept the 4 points loss and spend the rest of this season building so that you are a new sustainable club that should stay in SL... or you could do a Crusaders and go bust again at the end this season and have no choice but to go down!

The supporter trust idea that Wakey fans are suggesting is where you should be pledging your money... not to the club!

Again... be careful what you wish for...
