Just think its a shame that clubs with 100 yrs plus of history should be hoofed out before shabby excuses of teams like Harlequins(or whatever they are called this season) and crusaders(or whatever they are called this season). they have had a SL franchise up to now but have in reality gone to the wall(both teams) and set up elsewhere under different names and being propped up by SL numptys because they havent got the bottle to say theyve failed trying to nick support from Union land. When will they wake up and smell the coffee that they are just chucking money into bottomless pits!!!!

Yes- but if he'd still been at the club & we'd come 5th or 6th this year ( easily achievable with the start we had) , what a better position we would of been in anyway next year

I went to crusaders this year and there would be no more than 1000 in the ground and I think the published gate was above 2000. I have been to Quins many times and the published gate is well over what is actually in the ground. Crowd figures are a game and clubs just publish what they like.

We can hardly blame anyone else if we go, time and time again we've stumbled and stuttered, the clocks ticking for the final time.

While i'm not ready to chuck the towel in just yet i fear the worst.

The RFL see the opportunity to be situated in such a close proximity to the BBC as a potentially fantastic opportunity to raise the profile of the game. Its a case of politics going against Wakefield and Cas on this occasion, but also as others have mentioned the Salford ground is actually under way which is another major boost for them.

No doubt they see it as a fantastic opportunity, but it's hardly a factor that should decide upon which clubs retain their SL license. What if both Trinity's and Castleford's stadium are also being constructed by the time the licenses are handed out? If thats the case Salford are by far and away the weakest club.

Quote: Mary Millington "Now don't call me cynical (hello cynical) but it seems ironic that the RFL have made this announcement after both Wakey and Cas said they wouldn't share!

For me it's a 4 way tie - Cas, Wakey, Quins and Crusaders.

Which way it will go I've no idea.

So for all the comments on this forum, especially after this season, make sure you go support the Wildcats next year.........cos the year after that we don't know what to expect.

Check on George Riley's blog on the BBC website - interesting, especially about Ted.[/quote]

If Teds appeal is unsuccessful then maybe this mystery backer who we keep hearing whispers about will step in. If this is sorted out professionally and quickly it could be of benefit to us as a club. Get the takeover done and dusted then have our new chairman stating to the media that he is here to wake up the sleeping giant that is Wakefield by leading us in to our new stadium and investing in quality players for the Wildcats. All hypothetical of course but now is the time we need to be sending positive vibes and messages out to the media so that the RFL know we are serious about keeping our Super League status.

Is it really going to be that much of an impact if Ted can no longer be a Director. He'd still have his shareholding & would no doubt be allowed to continue to represent the club in whatever capacity the club wish. He just wouldn't be allowed to attend board meetings.

Simples.

eusa_clap.gif Now i understand the differences that have been expressed on here but i have tried (badly at times and rubbed people up the wrong way) to get this point over time and time again. Without OUR support we are sunk.

I have posted similar on your forum last week there is speculation/ rumours call them what you want that the RFL will force Wakey & Cas to merge to allow way for Widnes, i applaud your stance wanting your own ground and identity but i believe if you don't play ball with the RFL i think you will be in trouble . It's a shame for you and Cas when the RFL throw money at the Bronco's / Quins it's a joke . Good Luck from a Hull KR fan.

Quote: King Street Cat "Drop a current Super League team, let one of the above teams into the league who will sign all their half decent departing players and will take 2 seasons to be anywhere near the level it takes to compete.

That will really freshen up the league and improve the competition no end.'"


On what basis do you think you should be kept in super league indefinitely and forever and keep out teams knocking on the door? You have to give clubs their chance. There are a few outside SL who think they could do better than the lesser SL teams, my club is obviously one of them as is Fax, Leigh and Barrow and although it is very difficult from this league to match a super league teams credentials we can at least prove that we work as a club and have the potential to do better, and if you were in this league right now can you honestly say the crowds you'd get and your stadium etc would make you stand out from those teams in any particular way?

You've had the good fortune to be taken on your word re. the stadium build and let into super league for the first round of licenses. You've had three years to get it right, and a few clubs have not really gone forwards so it's time to give someone else their shot.
