WE ARE WAKEFIELD, WITHOUT THE RICHARDSONS’ WE ARE STRONGER:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42850.jpg |

| Quote: Roy Haggerty "You know what they say
So Quins are spending less than GBP 800k then? I have no axe to grind with Quins but how are they doing better than us off the field ? We have a leading community programme, reasonable youth development, bigger crowds and revenue streams than Quins.
Oh and were it not for the 4 point deduction for the failings of our previous management, we would only be 2 points behind them in the league as well. so hardly that much better than us on the field either.
Please tell me honestly if all criteria (and not just expansion) were taken into account why you think Quins and Crusaders would have a better franchise application than us.

Excellent post! Whilst i will be gutted if we get the boot i know that without expansion,the game i love will never get the recognition it deserves. As for your defence,it's off with the fairies!

There's a raft of other young players ready to step up at Wakefield some of which have already played at SL level but not regularly yet.

I live on the south coast now, just an hour out of London, but it would take me 3 hours to get there by train which is not good enough. Where I live there is a good Union presence but no where near the strength that there is just North of London. I think for a London RL team to work it has to be in South London, as another point is that where I live the nearest big Football team is Brighton who play league one and in the other direction its Gillingham who nobody is interested in watching, and as such I think around the South East corner there is a hunger to fulfill with professional sport.'"
it was tried to a certain extent at charlton. they put good roots down, and i believe schools in the area are still playing. the valley was just far too big, but i thought it was a shame when they left there as they just didn't give it the time. perhaps a place on the coast could be the answer. a day out at the seaside may wet peoples appetites |

With the new Brighton ground opening, it would be a great time for the team to relocate there, it could be sold as the UK based equivalent of the Catalans trips, which for anyone who has been before can say, a trip to the warm sun to watch RL by the sea cannot be beat. |

With an in-ability to sit down!
I am not joking by any means, why would it be any worse that Quins which is in the of the biggest RU foothold, which is no where near as strong down here! Brand new stadium, good links with the football club, and nice sunny British weather!

Because if they weren't you and the rest of the membership of the 'Flat Earth Society' would have to find something else to moan about.  |

Is it not true that the majority of Super League clubs agree that the competition should have 2-3 non heartland clubs?

It's probably more true that SL clubs don't care who's in SL as long as they are.  |
