HULL KR - 3.5 years in admin raising money for years to stay afloat from fans... hmm there calling for our crucifixion
wakey - god forbid anything happens differently to the shouder chip extraordonaire's. They had 1 year of a license left not three and for us lay people who do not work in rfl there was no guarentee they would be kept in if crusaders did not pull out.
Widnes - only ones who seem not to be judging, they were in championship stayed in championship have had a lot of money from owners and now have a franchise.
I begrudged none of these anything at the time but it is difficult like some of the opposition fans have stated with our attitudes to not become dissillusioned with the rugby family's more inconsiderate bunch.
We dont want any special favours we the hard done by fans were not involved with these financial mistakes other than face value suggestions they were ok. We just want to survive and when rlf prior to today say nothing other than they will not negotiate we do want clarity.'"
Well said that man.
Widnes have conducted themselves impeccably since they entered SL and kudos to them for board level to playing level.
Wakefield I thoroughly applaud for getting to the situation they are in now; the irony being some of the selective resonance for their plight and acceptance for a 3 year licensing period when they were essentially, out.
Hull KR have also performed admirably to rise from the position they were in. I will ignore the hang em high attitude of some sections of the fanbase.
I hope those fans and clubs who are looking to enforce a Bulls demotion are equally happy to absorb the consequences of diminished revenue for their club and equally, will find pleasure in SL losing a member club that has done more to raise the profile of the competition than the sum total of most other clubs.
Sadly Rugby League has suffered for years from dumbing-down syndrome and lowest common denominator approach to many elements of our sport. It's a genuine pity.
