Every ones saying Crusaders or Harlequins out at least they are expansion clubs what about Salford who are in the heartlands but still cant pull in any reasonable gates

Look, they went into Administration, they've (until this season) pulled bad crowds, they play in a bad stadium, with a Bus Shelter, a Hotel and a Terrace, and they've finished 8th, 5th, 10th and are so far 13th this year.

On the Plus side, they've got reasonable crowds this year, they've got a good young squad, they've won 6 games this year, new chairman, more money, potentially improved stadium (not by much, but enough).

I would say it's not dead on, but it's 85% certain Wakefield are the bye-bye team.

Wigan, Warrington, Leeds, Bradford, Hull - get too big crowds to be kicked out
Saints, Salford, Castleford - Have new stadiums (apparently)
Huddersfield - have a good enough stadium, and an improving support.
Harlequins and Crusaders - Expansion clubs, and they do (although Phipps will argue this) add to the game in Wales/London, Youth Development is superb in London, and will get better with Harris as coach at 'saders.
Hull KR - Are a little in trouble, but crowds, which are excellent considering they share the town with another club that has had SL status for a longer period of time, should keep them there, along with an improving Craven Park
Catalans - unbelievable success, despite two bottom finishes in 5 years, 5th in table, attracting excellent crowds in France, also I think Players/Fans have taken to them being their.

Wakey have a chance, albeit a small one, but I just can't see them staying.

Just driven past Glasshoughton and i can confrim its just tumbleweed.

Saints and Salford are building at this present time but please don't fall for this guff about Cas building, mind you if you bothered going to away game you may have noticed.

EDIT: Just noticed, I meant new stadiums on the way.

So if you have been where is this stadium that Cas are building, not seen it myself?

Oh God, You know what I meant, they have new stadiums coming

Really? I have one coming too, but i'm just waiting until i retire in 40 years to amass the cash.....!

Wakefield have been given an A grade for both community work and academy. So although I still think we will be kicked out it might not be the forgone conclusion that everyone thinks.

So do we!

So, in answer to my question, I take it you haven't actually seen Wakefields application but it is just your opinion?

Link me to their application, and I'll happily read it and come to the same conclusion.
