| Crusaders and Fax would miss out for me, and a return to semi-automatic P + R for 2014

Poor ground, poor attendance and a poor playing team in general.
I hope to see them in SL again soon though'"
Do you walk around with your eyes closed? We might not have the best ground, but it's as good as Castleford's at least. Besides, we also have the option of playing at a Premier League standard stadium in Oakwell. As far attendances, we average more than Crusaders and Harlequins. Oh, and we're above Crusaders and won more than Harlequins as well. Another who has jumped on the band wagon without actually thinking before he writes.

| I've voted for Wanky because they're a nice little club but they're no Wigan are they. And for all the years they were complete sh[iite[/i in SL and all of a sudden after a decent run in the league this year they think they are the cream of RL.
They can all go and take they're shirts off after a hard day of being y now.

or any team that continually gets fined for the behaviour of there fans, or turns up for a televised game with the wrong kit
its easy to find criteria to suit your arguments

Continually and twice are of course the exact same thing, I mean there were no double standards when one of your fans attacked a referee the other week right? Where's the fine there?
Yes, because they're the same as being in administration and leaving countless others out of pocket because of mismanagement...Crofton community centre could have done with that 20 grand for example...
It's easy to find criteria to suit your arguments when you make valid points instead of slinging mud.
Enjoy the championship

Are you sure it was 20k, I seem to remember the figure in the admin report being 7k, and Glover has paid off a number of those owed money voluntarily, how do you know Crofton Community Centre weren't one of them?
Anyway, I agree with you its not right to leave people out of pocket because you can't run a business properly , so next Tuesday when your celebrating, spare a thought for some of the hard working staff down at Wakey who will be out of a job on Wednesday because the RFL haven't stuck to their original statement that the best 14 applications will receive a new licence.
God knows who your all gonna bitch about when we go out of SL

| Harlequins - average 3000 crowds in a city of millions.
Wakefield - poor crowds, poor players , poor ground.
I wouldn't mind seeing Catalans gone too. No away fans and a £400 bill per person to watch your team play them. + how much on flights for the clubs every week. An expensive pointless experiment.

I will bite on this one :
Crowds - over double the average of Crusaders and Harlequins and better than Salfords by a distance despite them having a better playing squad and a virtual guarantee of SL next season. Our crowds would almost certainly improve further with another SL licence in the bag and ability to further strengthen the club both on and off the field.
Poor Players - As an overall squad I would agree it is poor, but we do have some good players in there otherwise why would a number of them be lined up to sign contracts with other SL clubs (and not just Widnes) when we go down. You also have to factor in the Admin left us unable to strengthen the squad as has the uncertainity re a new licence. Clearly if by some miracle we received a new licence, then with another 3 years of guaranteed SL rugby, we would be able to recruit a much better squad. Final point on this - if our squad is poor what does it say for Crusaders who are currently 4 points worse off with on paper a lot better squad and Harlequins who despite having a 4 point head start still haven't won as many games as us.
Poor Ground - Agreed. However, the club has been making some general low level improvements throughout the season and have submitted plans to upgrade BV or play out of Oakwell (although the RFL dissuaded us from the latter option) if we stay in SL until a decision on Newmarket is reached early next year, therefore the facilities would no longer be poor.
So to summarise your first point is plain wrong and the other 2 only apply to our current situation rather than if we had a new SL licence.

| Quote: Toulouse for super L "Wakefield were in administration at the start of the season and were hours away from not existing only to be bailed out at the last minute. There is another, bigger, super league club in Wakefield and they are very close to Leeds. The stadium is worse than most in the championship and on the field they are the worst team in the competition (they will finish bottom although they are second bottom at the moment.'"
You should apply for the job of resident comedian on here, or should that be clown.
