I guess you lost the bet then. Always knew you and Adolf had a lot in common.

Stop deflecting. I picked you up on an important detail in my club's journey into administration. Our Chairman walking out and taking his funds with him after we had already recruited a full squad is not a minor detail. And while it doesn't condone the actions of the remaining board members it's worth noting. Your post implied we went out with the intent of building a squad we couldn't afford in order to gain entry to Super League. I argued it's not as clean cut as that, since we had to adjust to a major shift in the running of the club and the funding of the club after all the contracts had been signed. I'm not sure what your point is.

Quote: tb "rather than because their board spent money they didn't have to maintain a squad they couldn't afford'"
Saying that without noting that when we recruited the squad we spent money we did have to maintain a squad we could afford. I'd call that misinformation.

Out of interest, what criteria are you referring to and when were they brought in?

The promotion criterion of 2,000 seats. We had to make a number of changes to Wheldon Road in 2005 to meat promotion criteria, including adding extra toilets (portaloos) for instance. But we don't have 2,000 seats in the main stand. iirc, the criterion was adjusted to 1,500 seats (which we met with our 1,800)

Widnes - were in SL, couldnt compete, went bust trying to get back in

A bit late to this one, but even the FIRST post in this petty argument is wrong. Since when did coming 1 place outside the playoffs count as 'couldnt compete'? Congratulations on spouting a piece of utter horse crap.
And as for some of the completely ignorant responses from TB, well, if the people who rise to it havent learnt that this guy has possibly the shallowest knowledge of the issues surrounding our great game of anyone on this earth, then those people must have been born on the Sun.

You clearly don't understand English then. A bet on a hypothetical situation involving the consequences of "what would have happened if …", in the past, is about the safest bet you can make.
