I know nothing of your new stadium I must admit, but its a shame from my perspective the willows is seemingly on its way out. Always liked standing in your away end even if we once went 4 halves without scoring. Decent little ground for me

A lot of that is fair enough, IMO. However, as far as P&R is concerned, I think a lot of the fans on here want to see it brought back because of the meaninglessness that many of the games now have, which in turn exposes the lack of quality entertainment that most are complaining about. I'll be honest, I was for a franchise system when the concept was first introduced, because I thought it would improve the quality of the rugby, that we'd see a lot more inventive play, and a lot more local players in the team. Whilst we're not doing too bad in terms of bringing on the next generation, most people on here will tell you that the quality of the rugby in the latter half of this season has been very poor. But that may just be a Wakey. I haven't seen enough of it to be able to judge, though, and in many ways, I'm quite thankful.

Ow you get me wrong my friend, my bitterness is not just directed at Wakey its is at a whole number of clubs and people, i could give you a long list of people i hate over all this and a good eg of why but it would take me too long. The reason Wakey are getting grief at the moment is because of the way all of a sudden your club and fans are now starting to mention how unfair the whole system is, even your coach Mr Kear all of a sudden thinks P+R is the way to go stating it should be about what happens on the pitch. Well it was unfair when it was 1st introduced and if people had said so at the time maybe the whole stupid system may not have got a foothold,

The reason Wakey are worst than the rest is because when they were promoted the clubs below super league all voted to give Wakey some money out of there pot so they could go into super league as super league clubs wouldnt share there pot. The understanding was Wakey would champion the cause of P+R. Wakey took the money and went back on there word.

salford have just signed one of your players leo latu as our new hooker, what this lad like?

Fair dos.

Hit and miss but more of a miss lately as everyone else!! youd have been better giving alker another season

Very unpredictable and erratic, he can inject a bit of spark into a performance but can also be a liability at other times.

So the Championship clubs gave us money to champion the cause of P&R 10 years before it was abolished.
Were you all psychic back then????

Rovers,but the self same teams that gave Wakefield the money, all ,bar Fev,voted the same way as Wakefield,as you keep telling us -- Fev were the only ones to vote against.
So in essence the clubs below super league paid Wakey to champion their cause,but when it came to voting,they didnt even champion it themselves,apart from Fev that is.Can you not see how ridiculous that is.

Cuts like a knife ! Wakey are doomed .

I dont know how old you are or how long you have been watching Wakey but my memory goes back 30 odd years. Around the time Wakey went up there was the talk of maybe abolishing P+R in fact after Wakey Hunslet were refused, There was many discussions going on at the time and like i say Wakey were supposed to champion the cause

Don't forget, wakey actively voted against allowing dewsbury and hunslet access to sl after their gf wins.

No what happened was the vast majority of teams below super league were on there assss and i mean skint as the sky money had long since dried up, so the lure of 100k which the teams were offered persuaded them to vote for the new licence system. Now the cynic in me believes the RFL planned to send those clubs to the brink so they could manipulate them into THERE way of thinking
. Rovers didnt vote that way the club knew how passionate we fans felt about it and in my view we are the only club that can hold our heads up. The game is corrupt from top to bottom, i used to go to every challenge cup final, GB tests, England games the lot, Wakey believe it or not were one of my favourite teams behind Rovers, a lot of my m8s played for them, now i hate the game and if Rovers ceased to exist i would never watch another game as long as i lived.
As for the championship its a great comp the entertainment is brilliant there not the athletes of super league but the more mistakes they make makes it very exciting as well as the punch ups you get, i got as big a thrill watching Rovers play Sheffield last week as i did when we used to play Leeds, wigan etc

Wasn't it a case of they just didn't meet the minimum standards required to enter SL, after all, Widnes and Huddersfield had no problems getting promoted.
