I feel for Wakefield they have held their own over the years in SL but keeping up with the Joneses for them has been a struggle unable to secure a ground has been the problem for them having been rejected by the local council has added to the pressure to please.
But the RFL with their fair play of doing things will no doubt wield the axe for them and boot them out.
There will be no bending over backwards like they have done for the Crusaders ,What is the point they are not a development club and not only that they are to close to Castleford
This ticking all the boxes is really pathetic and the RFL have taken our game into a FIFA run style sport .
Bring back promotion and relegation if all this continues to go on we will only be left with a select few sides and that will be it.
Cant help but feel for Wakefield and not only that being booted out of SL will that put a strain on a financial side id expect,could then they face the prospect of going bang ? or is everyone at the top just prepared to keep their heads in the sand and watch Wakey and this sport crumble.

[iClubs are assessed on criteria in 5 key areasNo mention of attendances in there?

Still think Wakey and Cas beat Salford on every count?

New stadiums or redevelopments of existing stadiums will only be taken into account if the RFL is satisfied that the stadium will be open or the redevelopment finished by the start of the 2012 season.

That buggers up Salford then

Well it is all judgemental isn't it and in any event Saford will be safe because SKY will want them in purely because of their subscription base in Manchester.

Yet Leigh's app was solely based on HP, with NO consideration of the LSV, already being built, and being played in the immediate next season.
No promises, and pipe dreams, it was up, ready and just needed signing off.

The ironic thing is this stadium which wasn't taken into account, has just saved the RFL'S blushes, and twice at that, and 3 times as a whole facility in a week.
