Socialism Super League.

Democracy in action

There is a fair chance that Wakefield, London and Bradford may have been "encouraged" to vote in favour due to being "helped" in recent times.

Go on then........tell me how LOndon have been helped in comparison to Bradford?

Are you being serious? the amount of times exemptions have been made for London through out super league is a joke. If the Franchising system was correctly implemented London would of been one of a few who had no license.

You mean London were breaking the spirit of the franchise?

I think we can take it as read that almost all the clubs have broken the rules, been given exemptions, allowed to bend the rules etc over the past 20 years.

You cannot single out 1 club more than almost all the others.

making exemptions and not agree with somebody method of business is completely different, didn't St helens just get caught flat out cheating the salary cap but still got to keep the title champions of that year? different subject totally but you can PM the response if u like.

Remind us again why Castleford fans more than most resent Wigan?

Sure they have a saying about glass houses.

They have been allowed to move to the ' Iconic ' Hive

Whilst I'm no massive fan of London, I'm still not sure what exemptions London have received above and beyond the rest of the league. Huddersfield for many years came bottom and weren't relegated on red halls say so. Bradford had their stadium lease bought out, by the same people. Is your issue with the increased cap they get? (Try living in London!) (also on that, Catalans negotiated a very nice conversion rate from a couple of years back now so they get even more I'd say). Whilst barnet probably wouldn't meet the stadium criteria the stoop did. Whilst there finances have been shaky, they've never gone into administration (to my knowledge). Also they didn't finish bottom.

If red hall were in the habit of granting them exemptions wouldn't they of granted them their request to sign more non fed trained players?

As for the Wigan and saints thing, saints spent over the cap in 2006 as they paid out more than expected in international bonus' because we wiped the floor with everyone that year. Wigan signed all and sundry to avoid relegation and then used "creative accounting" to make it okay (at least in their own eyes) - but agreed that's off topic.
