How very convenient for you, yet you still remember the other bit

Regarding the number of lives, the answer is, as many as it takes.

Trinity's USP over the past 25 years or so, has been to survive against all odds in the top flight.
The Crusaders pulling out of SL was massive.
This season against Bradford and the great escape under Kear are the biggest moments and having to win away at Salford on the last day to survive 2001 ?

This season's escape seemed to upset some of our "friends" over t'common, which added an extra layer to the pleasure of staying up.
They couldn't wait for us to finally be relegated but, it wasn't to be.



It doesn't matter what is thrown at the club, on field or off field, we seem to have a knack of getting through and defying the odds.

I remember at Cardiff ,Cas fans singing going down,at BV and Newcastle the same.Like the poster above says,makes it all the sweeter.One day they might get fed up,divers boot tackle

I find it quite funny how a local near us is so upset we didn't go down and cant help but laugh at the little world he must live in when it upsets him that much but as I keep saying who sent who down in 2006

2001 – Beat Salford to put Huddersfield down.

2002 – Beat Warrington & Cas went to Salford needing to win to get in top six. Salford down.

2006 – Cas

2011 - Administration under Ted

2012 – Dear John letter from Crusaders

2014 - Dear John letter from Glover

2015 – Bradford.

I've added a couple of extra ones. Looks like we're on the last one.

WHOOOOSH my sarcasm went right over your head drrr

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!

In answer to the original question. None.

Next year is arguably bigger than this.

Disagree with you there Jonh.

Whilst ever the people involved with the club have enough spirit and fight, we will always have another "life".
Not good for the ticker though and it would make a pleasant change to be challenging in the top half of the table

I've looked all over for this - does anyone have any proof of this "strong suggestion" ? Who were the 2 or 3 clubs with a weaker application than WTW in 2012 ?

Castleford for starters
