Quote: Fred Gee "Maybe we are biased lot us Wakey fans but alot feel that SL / RFL would be glad to kick us out come the next round of licences mainly based on our ageing ground, yes i know there are several strands to the licence but we all know that SL /RFL like nice new stadiums even if it means that the majority of the time they play in them when they are 50-60% empty. The SL/RFL I feel for whatever reason have a soft spot for Hull KR but I as many of you will have been to their ground.I genuinely do not think their ground is much better and did you see the pitch tonight I have seen and played on better park pitches it was a disgrace it looked like it had been cut with a pair of blunt scissors.But you never hear any moaning threats about their ground from the powers that be when the licences are due.
Talking of the RFL, heard a rumour this week that they pay Brian Nobles wages at the Crusaders, don't know if anyone else has heard this, but this came from a player there, so you would like to think there was an elementof truth. Also heard that the money is not exactly flowing there and Harris maybe taking over from Noble sooner than people anticipated.'"
Agree with you on this Fred, i would rather have a tratidional ground like ours , yours , Cas , Leeds , Bradford & Saints etc than the new stadiums , Saints are playing at Widnes next year until their ground is ready.
I really prefer the traditional grounds seated & terracing banter between the fans , no shiny stadiums just to look good on the TV that are half full if your lucky the atmosphere is e , come on RFL put money into redevolping existing stadiums forget the money you waste on Crusaders , Catalans & Quins " Look after your own " .
