| I dont seem to remember Fax, Oldham nor Workington being supported by the RFL when they got into strife in SL. So people moaning that the RFL have a duty to support Celtic's cause now in their time of strife is a bit rich.
Good luck to Celtic by the way and I really do hope they get through their current problems.
As for the RFL, get your head out of your and start making some sensible decisions instead of living in fantasy land. Look after your own for a change and who knows the sporting world may respect you instead of looking at you as clowns. If the RFL wasnt run by clowns for a change, the RFU and WRU would $hit themselves.

Was the Border agency / police involved in a raid on a hairdresser's or similar a couple of seasons ago when one of Hull's overseas contigent partners was found working illegally ?

.'" Unless the clubs or the RFL come out and confirm one way or the other if they did or not nobody knows what if any support was given to them.
But even if no support was given does that mean the RFL can't learn from their mistakes and put things in place to help future clubs? Surely having this task force in place to support and guide the clubs can only be a positive thing?

| Quote: Starbug "Halifax , went bust not competing
Huddersfield , bailed out by sugar daddy , still being bailed out by sugar daddy
Widnes , dropped out of SL to make way for French club , didn't moan about it , had to bust club to get rid of unworkable rental agreement , now very solvent
Leigh , went up , were crap and contrary to popular opinion did not nearly go bust trying to compete , they finished bottom and were rightly relegated
HTH
Your rewriting of history is fascinating.

Why so?
Quote: Snowy "This season was always going to be tough.
Celtics promotion and 'soon after demise' was inevitable IMHO. It was far too soon!
When did this happen?

Which bit ?
Did Fax compete in 2003 ?
Were they bust when they came down ?
Has K Davy bailed out Huddersfield ?
Is he still bailing them out ?
Did Widnes only get relegated because the Catalans were introduced in 2005 ?
Have they subsequently got a better rental agreement on the Halton/Stobart stadium ?
Are they now a solvent club [ as far as anybody can be ] ?
Did Leigh compete ?
Did we get relegated ?
Have we gone bust since we entered SL ?
Away you go
Which of those statements is wrong ?

| Oh where to start...
Fax didnt compete, because they were going bust and offloaded all their players of any ability.
Yes, in all but name.
No
No
No, because they ended in a relegation spot that season, thats why they went down.
Dont know, but its also irellavant
Yes, after you got relegated, pushing all you had into winning a one off match which you lost. The very epitome of what the franchise system sought to avoid.
So, erm, pretty much all of them.
Next.

I should be asking you that very question
So when did Leigh go bust since being in SL ?
Is that simple enough for you

| Ahh, there I apologise, I took you to be a Widnes fan by the chip on your shoulder.
Which just goes even more to show you werent relegated to get Catalans in, you were relegated because you came bottom of the league
Again, come back when you know what you are talking about

| And was the position that Widnes finished actually a relegation spot at the beginning of that season, I seem to remember the number of relegation places was changed mid season. I also think Code13 is refering to Widnes on the match they lost. Think he is a bit miffed cos you dissed the Giants, the truth hurts eh
