What was the £700k spent on?

Oh it's much more than £700K , at least another £100K plus to pay the wages till the season ends , then potentially a contribution to the pension fund plus a few hundred grand more when they played in Bridgend , probably closer to 2 million overall

Most if it spent on paying Australian RL players , good eh ?

So they paid proper accountants to do a proper job , but only found out that they were unsustainable the day before the licence decision ?

Or did the RFL just blindly ignore what they were told and just crossed their fingers behind their backs and hoped somebody would ride to the rescue at the last minute ?

Marvelous

I see - he's on about the loan. For a minute I thought he was on about the application!

The £700k is secured on the stadium, wouldn't worry too much about that.

So a couple of million less the £700K which they might get back , one day , sounds brilliant to me

Not a campaign orchestrated by the club?

My ar$e it isnt.

I wonder how fax would have done if they P+R was in place and had come up this season?

The Championships should get CM Punk to do their arguing.

He is the Voice of the Voiceless.

You forgot about this

"In August 2006 Halifax RLFC was on the verge of going bust. The club announced that it needed to raise £90,000 otherwise it would go into liquidation. Rugby league fans nationwide rallied behind 'Fax', and through visits to the ground, during home fixtures, and other fund-raising events, were able to raise £55,000. Former Chairman Howard Posner then came forward and announced that he would loan the club the remaining £35,000 in order to keep Halifax RLFC alive. This ensured that Halifax RLFC would be playing in National League One during 2007."

I went to the 5,000 fans to save fax only a couple of thousand did as the public of hailfax were too busy drinking in the towns bars.

Probably about as well as the Crusaders , but then again some on here seem to keep forgetting that somebody always has to finish bottom

If the gap between SL and the championship was made smaller then it could happen but it has been the RFLs intention over the years to let the gap increase so it has made it nearly impossible. SL can sustain it's self at the moment without the expansion clubs. It's the championships that need all the help. When the Championships have gone to the wall that will be the ultimate mistake that these tools will have made and SLs demise will rapidly follow.

That's not been the RFLs intention at all

It's been the failing of Championship clubs that they didn't keep up, for the most part.

Exactly.
What a load of tosh from TV Boy. Id make the gap even bigger if clubs cant afford it.

Rugby League=The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Super League clubs are like French Aristocrats before the Revolution.
The same result would be justice...
