Rather than seeing this as negative, surely it's a positive that the club want to associate themselves with the top clubs and are confident of being in the 12'"
If they wanted to be associated with the top teams they would have walked out with 6 of the top 8 wouldn't they?
At any other time I would agree on your second point, but given our very weak position at the moment our stance seems strange to say the least.

I would agree with this, but still believe she has an agenda. Whereas Elston was just incompetent.

Well, where do Sky make their money???
Friday night RL has the second highest viewing of any other slot on Sky sports
I aren't an intelligent man and never claim to be but I reckon that's reason enough for them to keep RL on their books.
And I only assume that 12 teams will get more sky funding each than 14 teams. No logic other than a common sense assumption.
If we knew everything there wouldn't be a forum

I meant on the field as opposed to off it, though I never considered that. Did Leeds walk out???
I don;t think it's viable at such a high profile meeting to say "we oppose cause we might get relegated" ...though that's purely opinion

Whether she has, or hasn't, I believe she has a track record of not running RL clubs into administration. We should question everything the club does, regardless of who is in charge, but I feel a lot safer about the long term future of the club now, than in the last two/three years.

The proposals lead to a slight tv income increase for the championship clubs paid for from the tv money saved from the two relegated clubs. There would be no increase in tv money for the remaining SL clubs.
There would though be two less home games a season, which leads to less value in a season ticket so lower prices there, plus less exposure for club sponsors. Wakefield voting for a reduction is like a turkey voting for christmas.

In a way I agree. I just up the agenda isn't to gently run the club down to long term safety and stability in the lower leagues.

No Leeds were the only top 8 team that was present that did not walk out, the other being St. Helens who were no present, also no representative from castleford present.
They walked out because it was not supposed to be a high profile meeting and the structure was not supposed to be on the agenda at all until after the World Cup is over.
If you are a cas fan? Would you want such a major vote being taken without your clubs vote being considered?

The decision cannot be made without a vote. If the clubs block the proposals it won't happen.

Wakey, Leeds and Widnes have a connection can anyone guess what it is?
As you say you owe the RFL as does Salford by all accounts and London are desperate to get a dispensation to even field a team in 2014 never mind after that.

Are you saying all the teams that walked out are financial powerhouses.
