Well said Bren2K, that is pretty much as i see it, though as much as sometimes i deplore SuperLeague, i aren't giving it up without a fight.

All very true!

The danger with going into administration is that once you begin tsuch a process you also open a clear path to liquidation! We all hope that some white knight will come along and snap up the club from the administrator but what if we are wrong?

Common sense at last, I think its your mates that need the reality check. I agree that Cas will be next up against the wall should trinity get the push this time, and for us traditional clubs there will be no way back.

Not 100% getting but thanks anyway just re classifying land? As surely and new building on any land needs PP anyway? FWIW I expect NM will be passed eventually!

On other points elsewhere, for Oakwell to count then surely you'd have to have an agreement at least in principle for 2012-15. No point comparing Hull & Wigan as long leases purpose built and in their area. (Saints guaranteed new ground). Research would need to be done on crowds and impact in Barnsley area (may do this already of course).

Potential Admin would not be a reason to kick you out after Cru debacle, BUT it would remove your #1 fight against the RFL if it was to happen?

The reason Cru are staying is the RFL have a £700k charge now on the Racecourse Ground which was offered as security against money owing to themselves. They have also been given a 4 year guarantee of a franchise with £175k deducted from their sky moneys each year for the next 4 years.

rlLink - Not For The Faint-Heartedrl

Disagree totally that Cas will be the next in line for the drop.
SL and RL need a SL club in the area.
Cas youth dev is excellent and will get better. Hopefully with a new stad the club and far higher turnover they will be able to keep their outstanding youngsters without bigger and wealthier clubs taking them.
Should Wakefield fall out of SL I do think it will give Cas greater access and influence over the best youngsters in the area.
Also i reckon that after one season Cas will average 10k crowds per home game.
Having written all that I really do hope Wakefield survive.
It will be a tragedy for all of RL if they fold and go out of business.

If the new sports village is going to cost 20 million including a new stadium at no cost to the club, why would any company investing such a huge amount sit back and allow the club to possibly go into administration reducing our chances of a super league franchise.

Taking into account the running costs for a new stadium alone, surely logic dictates that the club playing in super league is more financially viable than a club playing in the lower tier.

Is there more going on here than we are aware of?

Thats a very good point Gizmo, If Yorkcourt relistically need us more than we need them, allow the club go out of business cutting their chances of ever developing Newmarket into anything making their investment in the land there worthless?

Be careful, you may find that as time goes by and if the latest LDF goes through, Yorkcourt need WTWC less and less. Stranger things have happened in business.

Think how many flat pack wharehouses they could build on 51 hectares for 15 to 20 million pounds .......

A loss of 14 hectares with a saving of that magnitude may be a price worth paying.

IA you are right they do seem to have backed themselves into a corner. And as you keep telling us the previous government and their officers have made Wakefield find 95ha for warehousing, and and all the facts seem to suggest this was a tall order with the limited amount of land available to do this. So perhaps THIS government and its officers will help Wakefield with the burden and Lower the amount of land required for Warehousing.

I am merely stating my opinion that if we are playing in an SL standard stadium which will be oakwell for 2012 the hopefully Newmarket after that we have a better application.

And what about all the other parts that make up a licence application?

We do have aspects of our application which hold up quite strongly. Our community work is better than most; our junior set up scores pretty well; we have a good amount of home grown talent in the squad and we actually do pretty well for commercial income from sponsors etc.

We score poorly on fan base and on general income.

The ground - well that entirely depends on the basis used for the application.

I would prefer it to be judged on it's own merits - if we cross the finish line then the RFL would then have to decide to eliminate from the bottom up.

Back to NM - can I publicly state what a great job IA did at the presentation on Tuesday. Whatever the outcome of the current situation, we know that Newmarket is vital to our future and we must not lose focus in the fight to keep it on the right path (or cycleway )
