Great business/PR decision by your "Director friend" then not to open the club and take the opportunity to get extra revenue like ALL the others did.
Your club were prepared for the worst, you know it and I know.
Yes of course there are people that would have liked you to go down, but for gods sake don't start feeling sorry for yourselves when people say it, as I will never forget the abuse and yes physical violence in "that game" in 2006.
Anyway onwards and upwards for both.'"
Of course we were prepared for the worst, SKY and Eddie Hemmings in particular had been running a campaign all season where the narrative was Wakefield were certainties to lose their licence. Eddie Hemmings never missed an opportunity to tell the world that Wakefield were the obvious candidates to go down, he must have run out of different ways to say it.
By the time the Franchise decision was made it was almost a fact that Trinity were the worst Licence applicants and no other club was in danger.
So of course we were prepared for the worst because whether we actually were the worst seemed to make no difference to SKYs and Eddies desired outcome.
However, the one thing that Andrew Glover had done well was to get our franchise application right!
So none of the prophets of doom and all their drip drip mind bending suggestive brainwashing of the masses made any difference because in the end we weren't the worst applicants and Blake Solly said as much in his interview alongside Glover from Belle Vue.
There was a strong suggestion that 2 or 3 others were weaker than Wakefield and, whether you like it or not, Castleford were one of them!
