Quite.

Did he say going into administration would be the be all and end all? No, he didn't. Let's put our own house in order before spouting crap about conspiracy theories.

Agreed, if our inverstor/s can generate a large sum then the RFL will find it very difficult.

Agree. At this moment we are challenging these issues from a weak perspective. The club needs to start putting things right so that we can challenge them from a strong perspective.

He did say adminstartion would weaken our position and the other posters on here have taken that as we have no chance of a new franchise, well that is wrong, not a conspiracy theory just a fact. Like I said they cant have one rule for one and one for another so I hope they do that to the letter...

i can remember a few years ago last game of season we beat cas n stayed up stood on donny rd end of ground n my son said to me b4 kick off we r goin down dad arnt we i looked him in the eyes n told him to think posative and the team will win. so all u ppl on here who think we are not gettin a licence for next 3 years y dont u think posative n get bhind our players, our new bod (when the deal is done) n cheer this grate club bk where we belong in the big time

And they haven't shown otherwise. The bids of Crusaders and Harlequins have advantages none of the other clubs have, but we have advantages, in terms of community work, other clubs won't have. No point hanging everything on one issue like some are, using it as another stick to beat the RFL with.

Let me ask then, to those who say the RFL, SL and the whole process is 'bent' and 'corrupt' and other such words, why do you want to be in Super League if it is that way?

I don't know about bent and corrupt, but I don't like some of how they do their business. To answer the question, you want to stay in SL to watch the best players, to watch the highest standard of RL in our country , as well as the banter and rivalry between fans. Any fan, of any sports team, wants their side to play at the highest level, it's what team sport is about. Yyou can love RL, without loving the guys who run it.

If anyone thinks we are going to get another franchise I'm afraid they are absolutely deluded!

At minimum, one is coming up and at least one is going down. What kind of scenario can you envisage for us to be kept in and someone else to be kicked out? I can't think of any possible way that the RFL could justify kicking a team out that hasn't been in administration and letting a team that's has been stay in. It couldn't be justified and probably leave the RFL open to legal action against themselves from who was kicked out.

The damage has already been done at the club and the damage is irreparable!

Like shifty said you want to see your team at the top level
at times i find SL dull, over hyped by the likes of eddie and stevo, ultimately deflating when we see our "superstars" stuffed by the southern hemisphere lot and as bent as it comes. Added to that i have really enjoyed watching the NL games, less hype, more individual, a bit more old fashioned in value if you like.
Would i prefer us to be in SL? probably, how do i rationalise that? i cant sorry.
Maybe a few years in NL might cure me

I will support Wakey whatever league they end up in and if the club dies then my love for RL will die with it. I have played and supported this great game since I first went with my Father and Grandfather in 1968 Wakefield are an integral part of my life and now I can no longer play are my only link to rugby league.
All Super League as done is cause animosity between supporters and and uncertainty in the game. The truth is it is Rugby League not now and for what it is worth never will be a national game in my humble opinion. If expansion is what they want then surely Cumbria is the first point of call.I would rather go watch Wakey play Cas,Hudds,Leeds,Bradford and the rest than go to London or France, by all means create a French league and fill it with French players, but how many people can afford to travel to the south of France to watch their team play. I have some great memories of Wakefield and they will always be with me. It is a working class game born in a working class area THAT is the appeal of the game, anyone who says otherwise are deluding themselves.
