For me, I can't wait for us both to be in new stadia, and the stuff the rest of the RFL world who want to merge and groundshare us. If I didn't hate you lot so much, you'd be my second team.
don't care about you merging or groundsharing. Do care about you promising and failing to deliver new facilities repeatedly.

I doubt he will have a good answer, in his world we all have a council that will build a stadium for us and if we dont its just becuase we cant be bothered, i wonder if widnes promised the rfl they wouldn't go into admin?

i do enjoy it when people say stuff.......without thinking about it...............at all
its usually best if witty and/or fierce comebacks actually make a little sense.
as you well know being in adminstration during a franchise period is no longer a major consideration.
also, we never had a franchise, so i fail to see how we could have promised anything regarding going into administration on the back of a franchise. BTW, going into administration happened before the franchise announcements, it would be a bit strange to promise to not do something which had already happened.
Do try harder.

Not a chance. Fax should (and i suspect they will) just get on with life in The Championships. If they get serious fanancial backing and the crowds hit a regular 3,000 then it'll be time to take interest again. Until that time they shouldn't even contemplate applying again. At least now it's apparent what is [ireally[/i required from the RFL aside from the bul[ils[/ihit floutable "criteria" which fronts the licensing program.

| Perhaps not a skeleton, but it seems rather odd that Mr Moss appears not to know what his own middle name and date of birth are.
At Companies House his directorship of Wrexham FC is listed as [sizePhilip[/size Moss Date of Birth 01/07/[size1948[/size
However, his directorship of Crusaders is listed as [sizeJames[/size Moss Date of Birth 01/07/[size1947[/size

If the lower division clubs wanted to apply some pressure for change then that might be the best way to do it. Had it happened this time, the RFL would have had to explain a shrinking competition to Sky.

The thing is though this time the club going up is clearly stronger than around 4/5 clubs already in SL at the time they were given the spot
Next time , if Cas and Wakey get stadiums sorted , it is clearly going to be a weaker bid from any Championship club , so unless SL is going to grow , then it will clearly be a farce

When exactly are you referring to?In 2008 the club had already come through administration so as has already been pointed out they couldn't promise the RL they would avoid something that had already happened.If you are referring to our application which was refused then yes,a cash bond of half a million pounds was offered as security, a promise if you will,which the RFL, in their infinite wisdom, declined.If you are referring to our succesful bid this year then it matters not as administration is no longer important so no promise necessary.

Whilst it wasn't in a franchise period the rfl did checks on clubs to see if they would be able to be promoted i'm pretty sure when the rfl asked widnes in 2007 about there finances they didn't say 'actually we are well and truly stuffed don't consider us for promotion'

No, the council has refused to build a stadium for any of the 3 teams in the district, they have said they would provide land worth 2m to borrow against for cas and wakey (but not fev, which is wrong imho). The wakefield stadium is billed as stadium for the whole city, although as far as i am aware only trinity will be using it.

a letter of invitation was sent to all sporting clubs in the district as i recall, some chose to be involved others including cas chose not to.
