As a Hull FC fan through and through I would like to add my support to Wildshot's comments and also clarify for all those who are obviously a bit unsure-I do not read that as a slur or attack on other clubs in the Super League!!It is simply a very well made point demonstrating that Wakefield have every right-in fact more right than some-to their place in the league!They regularly have very good attendances-they brought more fans to the KC than Castleford, Quins-of course!-Crusaders-again obviously!-and even Hudds last season which was very disappointing given how well they were doing at the time. I appreciate that away crowds is not necessarily a criteria for the SL however surely if clubs are being run more as a business the money brought in each week has it's value in this?!

I am not a believer in the franchise system anyway as I feel that our board-probably along with others-are far too complacent and sure of their place in the league that they don't feel the need to improve their teams. Again this is not me 'having a go' at other teams in the SL all of whom have varying degrees of right, IMO to be there, just a support for a heartland team who have an excellent community spirit and youth scheme and surely should not be kicked out of the league just on the basis of their ground?

I've pinned you on to the end of the last thread we had on the subject, which wasn't that long ago. 8 pages of opinions for you to read on what we think about our prospects of retaining a license, and other stuff. There's plenty more from where this came from too. Just look through the old threads.

They have said on several occasions that SL will remain at 14 teams and with Widnes coming up that means one team will go.

Can't see us getting a licence but you never know. Think we need to win on saturday and keep picking up wins in the league to make the decision as tough as possible. Ironically after everything our best chance of saving ourselves now is probably results on the pitch.

On a side note it seems that the chairmen of two of the leading clubs in the championship, Leigh and Featherstone have quit in the last few days. You've got to wonder what is going on down there.

Don't think it's results that will swing it for us, though every little helps.

Thats it!! they are going to build a tesco's at newmarket....
