He could be using the notion as a bargaining tool for more money from a bigger club. He wouldn't the first player to try that, nor will he be the last.

| I'm slightly clueless to all this but which construction was it that went bust and held up Salford's stadium build? And was Wilkinson involved with them in anyway?

| Everyone should face facts, instead of clutching at straws, I can't wait till this season is over, I'd rather see us beating sides in the Champo than getting smashed by poor sides like Quins and HKR.
However unfair the franchise system is (take your pick of the Crusaders scandals) and no matter how bent and shambolic the RFL are (Loans to other clubs when we got nothing, bending the rules where it suits, or just not having rules there in the first place) won't make a jot of difference.
It's daft to having a pop at clubs like HKR and Salford, clubs that have actually made progress during this franchising process. I just don't see why we should be hung, drawn and quartered at a big press conference (which I'm guessing will be aired live?) and embarrassed when everyone seems to know we are down anyway, it just sounds awfully embarrassing.
That is my main problem here, other clubs around us are making signings for next season, so surely players/agents and clubs know something we do not (as expressed on another thread). If so it just further highlights how unprofessional the RFL are.

If they get paid like everybody else, then the problem would more than likely have been BACS, unless it happened over a 2 or 3 month period then its probably more sinister.

Don't think it was the main contractor just the electrical bunch who had won that part of the contract.

How do Leeds come above Wigan when the away fans get wet and from what I can see they have no plans to cover the away end

Two modern stands for starters. It is also easy to see how the two open ends could be replaced with stands giving you a ground not dissimilar to Widnes. You have to be realistic here, CP has the ability to be upgraded far more easily and to a far higher standard than BV at a far more affordable cost. Sadly they are at CP, were at BV and not NM and there is your problem - one dream is very attainable whilst the other is still all ifs and buts.'"
would not call one of the stands modern and do they have the funds to develop the ground yes its better than BV but its still poor when you look at the rest

I couldn't agree more. The whole thing is disgusting and divisive, and not the way the governing body of a professional sport should treat its fans.
But some people have no shame.

When the announced the last franchises didnt they just announce who the teams were and that was it end of story? knowing the RFL (Lewis and fatboy anyway) they will just do the same and run away with a press release...

Yes it was Live on Sky Sports though, and the Sky cameras were at Crusaders/Widnes/Salford and a few others with reactions after the decision, I seem to remember there was a slide with 14 club logos on it which effectively showed who had a Super League spot. I'm guessing this will be the case again, hopefully not though.

It was Airedale. They're still trading, God knows how as they are notoriously bad payers, I've done lots of work for them through the company I subcontract for. Quite a lot of firms won't work for them and other firms have gone under because of them. Allegedly
