Lets ignore the comments on Wakefield [i"promising" a new stadium to Superleague[/i from the usual suspect....



The second round of licensing in 2011 merely noted that the stadium was a "challenge" but did major on Wakefield needing to [i"trade in a sustainable manner" [/iand [i"Improve competitiveness on the pitch"[/i

Mr. Carter has managed to with juggle these two things and Wakey haven't been the bottom club in any year since that 2011 licensing, plus the push to improve the stadium has been genuine, obviously they were badly treated on Newmarket, and now they look to maintain Belle views "adequacies" shall we say, and build it up as money becomes available

Should Wakey build a dirt cheap all seater meccano set somewhere out in the wilds I wouldn't ever call that a benefit to Superleague.

You're all off your heads.


1st by a mile is Huddersfield with the Kings Head, Sportsman and Vulcan (would have been even further in front if the Slubbers Arms was still open).
2nd is Wakefield with Harrys Bar, Black Rock and Fernandes.
3rd is Warrington with the railway club.

None of the others deserve a mention TBH.

how long have bradford been out of SL now?

Too long but we get to go to the 3 pigeons at Halifax, taprooms at Batley, Hanging Heaton Working Mens at Dewsbury and you can take your pick for York.

Hopefully keighley can get their act together and get promoted and then 2023 wed get to go to the Boltmakers Arms.

Well, I've got some bad news for you re the railway

Check out The Bradley Arms next time you visit Fev - 7 or 8 local brews normally on

Oh dear - most predictable and dull response goes to ....

Please link to a club statement with this promise.

You can't. It doesn't exist. The club never made any such promise.

Media flim-flam and urban myth.

Oh are we retiring baseless urban myths now? So that'll be the end to people saying the RFL have bent over backwards to help Bradford, AND that Wakey promised a new stadium. Cool.

No, because Wakefield never promised a new ground, but the RFL did bend over backwards to save the Bulls - and failed.

Now the game and member clubs, own a worthless lease on Odsal, face huge maintenance costs, will never get a commercial rent on it, and will never see the loan given to the previous club repaid.

No sorry that's now how it works. You can't deny one baseless myth but not the other. The overall impact of RFL involvement on Bradford has been hugely negative and Wakefield didn't intimate that they would improve their ground.

OR Trin DID make strong representations about an improved ground and the RFL helped Bradford more than they hindered them. I don't mind which we go with.
