“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif



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

Quote: justarugbyfan "I said Wakefield. It will be a shame to see them go but in my opinion they are the worst team in the comp.

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.

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg



Voted Wire they are a nice little club but lets face it they are no Wigan

I voted for Crusaders and Quinns because when i find out they are part of a TV game it makes me want to run outside and stamp on as many ants as i can find.

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. icon_smile.gif

They can all go and take they're shirts off after a hard day of being y now. icon_cool.gif

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 icon_wave.gif

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

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.'"
