Quote: rollin thunder "But None of them have a team trying to play in Super League, and leeds is not a Pit Village is it. And I do not live in Leeds I live in a former pit town. The Wakefield met cannon sustain its two current teams properly as it is, never mind a 3rd. Its Ridiculous .'"
Wakefield Met as an area does sustain Castleford and Wakefield because both clubs have benefactors on top of their fans and sponsors to make up the losses to be able to (just about) hit the standards for Superleague. As a local governing body AFAIK Wakefield Met do nothing for Cas and Wakey, but both clubs have spent most of the last 24 years in Superleague regardless.
As for Mark Campbell didn't he do a fantastic job with the ground and preparing Fev for Superleague before unveiling Faisal Nahaboo as the clubs most important addition along with Faisal's wallet?? IIRC Nahaboo took fright when Fev were on the cusp of SL and as a result Fev became Leeds "A".......
I don't blame Mr. Campbell for showing ambition to the Fev fans, when Fev aren't accepted he can blame Superleague. IF Fev were accepted that may give Mr. C a big shock unless he's found a few £Million to back his ambitions this time.
