| I'm not quite sure the original comment made by Feisal Nahaboo, is as some interpret it here, he may have the funding, but IF any club were to withdraw from Super League in 2014, it could be run with 13 teams for one season, it would be completely wrong for one club to be given a place, just down to financial claims. Feisal, could easily have stated, we are building a case to compete for a Super League place in 2015, but we know that most likely will have to be earned on the pitch! Note also that Featherstone, released a statement, not sure that is the media approaching them.
The RFL were not helpful, when negotiations are still proceeding with London, with just some points to be confirmed, note they never mentioned any concerns with Wakefield, debts to Inland Revenue and 9 County Court judgements against them, or Bradford?
YORKSHIRE POST
“The RFL have some concerns and have been speaking to London Broncos over the last seven days,” a league spokesman said.
If the Broncos – formed as Fulham in 1980 – were to pull out of Super League, the RFL could operate a 13-team competition in 2014 but Featherstone have issued a statement insisting they would be in a position to step in.
Rovers’ majority shareholder Feisal Nahaboo says the Kingstone Press Championship club have access to a seven-figure sum to enable them to be competitive in the top flight.
“Whilst not ideal, we can be ready to mix with the greats of rugby league,” said Nahaboo. “We certainly deserve it. We’ve won the league three years on the trot and this year’s shield is in our hands. Statistics don’t lie and it would be farcical if space became available and we weren’t offered entry.
“We own our ground and we have a strong board with at least two key shareholders generating seven-figure profits from businesses they run successfully and own.
“We’ve seen Dr Marwan Koukash take on Salford City Reds and I’m sure he will show his value to the sport next year. I’m no different. Give the club a chance and we strengthen Super League.”
Featherstone were division one champions in 1977 and won the Challenge Cup for the third time in 1983 but missed out when Super League was introduced in 1996.
