Ouch, I must say this must be gutwtenching especially after good news on Friday and getting season underway!

Interesting comparison with Cru (though yes will have been treated differently) is SKY money? Cru had an advance on there's to help debt and wages etc so although needs covering at the end of year helped during admin process.

Have Wakefield already had SKY money? Has it been used up already?

With the greatest of respect they also had the ground to mortgage to secure the debt you dont have that situation.

This will enable the Club to continue playing in the Super League to the end of the 2011 season, although there is serious doubt as to whether the Club will be granted a Licence to continue after that date, in line with Rugby League regulations.

Which regulations are those then??????

I find it odd that an administrator would pass comment on a process it has no involvement with.

This is breaking my heart. How can the rfl allow a founder member to be treated like this. We all know they dont want us in SL but to (seemingly) try and force us into extinction is beyond anything ive ever witnessed. Its like something out of a movie.

Isn't one of the aims of the administrators to keep a concern running effectively so that income can be generated. This is rape of a club. Destroying all its main assets. How many people are going to come and watch half a team try to struggle along this season, therefore even less income. RFL hang your bloody heads in shame!!!! You have successfully driven a heartbroken supporter away from a sport I have watched for 50 years _ WELL DONE.

so you never go shopping in the sales?... you would rather pay full price?

This is not the RFL's fault!!!

There are a few people to blame, Starting with Ted Richardson. The sooner you realise this the better.

WE did just the same getting Wilkes, Grix & Blanch from Widnes .

You'd have more success trying to knock a nail in a knot mate

Women shop in sales. MEN have standards.
Nuff sed

But we are 'whiter than white' and are part of the 'RL family' so we'd never do that!

The fact is you have bills to pay, wages to pay, etc etc and without any money comming and the loss of other revenue such as season tickets, sponsorship you have no choice but to sell some assets to cover these costs.
It seems like a cash flow problem to me.

And the reason it might have been different at the Crusaders is that perhaps their investors were willing to put some money into the pot to keep things ticking over. Also the owners there will have known the full extent of the problems and accounted for things as they are the same owners as pre admin.

Also the owners at Cru probably had a plan worked out pre admin where as Ted took you to deaths door with very little breathing space.

I'm not really complaining what should happen to you if you go in admin, what i'm peeved about is the difference in treatment of us and Crusaders.

The diffrence could be that Crusaders had collateral (ground) you unfortunatly do not.
That is the fault of your previous BoD.
Although I will say that I am feeling for you.
