How many people think we would get a franchise, If what we did on the park,was the first criteria.

not me.sadly.

no chance

Remember that being placed into administration no longer excludes you. So a very good season by Wakey with the new owners arranging a ground share somewhere ...

but we find out in March who gets them, don't get a franchise why carry on with the season?

That one rule change for me show's you just what a joke the RFL are. I'm sorry but this one thing for me should carry more points than anything else. If you can't remain financially stable for 3 years with a franchise how different is that to the boom or bust days of P&R?

If I had my way any club going into administration would forfeit their right to a franchise when it comes around again and only keep their place if their is no other team able to make the step up.

If performances on the field were the only only criteria, we'd have been out some time ago. We have accrued less points than any other team over the first two years and unfortunately, as long as we have this GOON in charge, we will still have the lowest points when the franchise decision is made.

Very fortunately for us, our geographical position and our new stadium will keep us in. Wakefield will definately go. It doesn't matter how many difficulties Harlequins / Crusaders / Catalans experience, they will never be voted out.

Bring back promotion and relegation!

re March: I [uthought[/u that wqas the date we know [delWidnes[/del who is being promoted. The team (s) going are publicly announced later.

I think widnes get told they've got a licence in march.
I think the unfortunate SL club/s get told in july that they're being chucked out.

i heard we here who doesnt get a license late june

Perhaps there are a few more SL clubs on the edge and that is why they voted to change the rule.

Im sure its july mate.
