Not necessary Durham Giant

I don’t think anyone from Bradford can comment on the state of other areas in Yorkshire.

Wow congratulating another club is now against the AUP? Is that extended to all clubs or just ones that aren’t in Super league?

Can’t have any discussion about lowly championship clubs. Featherstone too working class an area for you? Not fashionable enough. Screw the little guy only big corporate super league clubs allowed here.

Boris is a Giants fan eh Tory boy.

I cant get my head that poster of his hatred to Wakefield, there's one thing that will get inside his head that every time he travels past a traffic sign posting directions to Wakefield it will remind him who put is beloved club in the lower regions of rugby league

The thread is about championship clubs and was going well really until you piped up.

Featherstone are a championship club. I know your club want to see an end to the championships and grass routes game so I’ll forgive you not knowing that.

Oh dear, your meltdowns really are spectacular aren't they?

Anyway back on topic children. Most of the clubs in the championship are part time and staffed largely by volunteers. With the furlough scheme being in place to cover players wages most have been alright during the lockdown. The difficulties will surface from next year when clubs are expected to field teams without central funding.

Please explain to me in simple terms just exactly how it works where the club have benefited from paying twice the value of the ground, and also apart from the council lending the club money how does it affect the taxpayers if the club are paying it back with interest, with no land available to buy and build another stadium surely it's Wakefield that has been abused by the previous owner's exploitation of the situation, and should Wakefield be found guilty by association simply by a one off transaction with a man who previously on the face of it had no connections with crime.
As an ex Wakey fan who jumped ship and was blinded by the success of the bulls, it's easy to see that your bitterness towards the club still runs as deep as ever, back on topic Bradford has had it's day and it's ridiculous to include them as a club more likely to be sustainable in the near future, you seriously need to get over it.

Woah chill out. I didn’t make any other comment on it other than the NCA were investigating the deal that saw Wakefield trinity borrow £3M from Wakefield council to pay Manni Hussain for a ground that was valued at £1.7M - this was a separate investigation to and as a result of the investigation that saw Manni Hussain subject to an unexplained wealth order totalling £10M. Let’s stick to the facts eh - you’ll
be in danger of breaking the AUP if you want to suggest any funny business went on.

Really? Well that explains a lot.

Quite a large number of Bradford fans in their pomp were from other clubs it seems. Didn't Halifax's crowds fall off a cliff?

A packed Odsal for a big game used to be superb though. Loved big games there.

Yes lets stick to the facts, have you any evidence to link any complicity with Wakefield and the alleged illegal activities with the said Mr Hussain and his associates, no you haven't but that hasn't stopped your insinuations regarding the sale of the land along with other mud slinging about the club which incidentally has no bearing on the thread title, so why don't you forget your obvious bitterness and stick to the facts yourself, or it could be you in danger of breaking the AUP.

Well this degenerated quickly.
