| Quote Tricky2309="Tricky2309"
The three clubs most under threat have all got generations of supporters, you can't build that up over night and thats why the expansion clubs for a sport like RL are always going to be a gamble. I don't mind a gamble but you shouldn't cast aside long standing clubs on a whim as the RL appear to be happy to do.
Only in RL could this happen. Could you see the Premier League inviting someone to go into the top flight and kicking an established club out?
The words Pee up and brewery spring to mind.'"
It happens every year in the Premier League.
Oh, and whichever current SL club(s) which is unsuccessful in its licence bid - whether it's us, Wakey, Salford or even Crusaders or someone else - won't be making way for Crusaders or any other expansion club but for one or more of the Championship clubs which have qualified to bid. All of which are, in your own words, longstanding heartland clubs with generations of supporters. |

Based on the field as far as premier league goes and nobody would be complaining especially not me if that was still the case.
Why do you feel the need to twist peoples words. You and everyone else knew what I meant and would accept its a joke. Please justify to me why what is going on should be accepted. |

Sorry but in the context of endless discussion on this very board about the merits of franchise vs P&R that statement has gone way way past the point of simply being ironic - thats moronic.
If you had ever displayed any evidence of having a sense of humour I would have to conclude you were just trying to wind the flatcappers up. But in the absence of that I am just left in my minds eye with a picture of a person who, seeing the sky falling in, responds by sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting la-la-la in the hope that it will make the problem go away.

Not a rumour Rich. Steve had this as part of our application. The sum was £500,000 to be deposited with the RFL. The clowns still wouldn't accept us as being the best option for a 14th club. Utterly incompetent. |

Lewis, Woods and all, withdraw the sword and fall at your leisure. Those in love with our once great game can seize the opportunities to expand before us, under the banner of a united sport.

It's very poetic but Wrexham going into administration hardly prompts me to seize anything. Yes, what's happened makes an emotive headline but there's about 45,000 regular fans of the top four SL clubs who couldn't give a rats ass really. Until something rocks the very core of the RFL then no-one there will really act decisively on anything. When BskyB show signs of pulling the plug that's when Mr Manikin Rimmer will be stored away to make way for Mr Lewis once more.
Roll on 2011. It's going to be better than ever. |

No this is interesting. Crusaders to be kicked out of SL and Widnes to take their place. next year, under franchising review, the least capable SL side (widnes) gets relegated in favour of the best Championship club (crusaders) ...

It'll be a farce if the Crusaders are given a franchise next time round,not because of the location but they have gone into administration. Which I am sure is a reason why the likes of Leigh and Widnes was overlooked.
