I've tried to avoid posting on here for a couple of weeks due to the fact I am struggling to post anything positive and with great on field performances it seems to go against how I feel right now, but this situation with the Bulls is a total joke, the RFL need to take a long hard look at their involment in this saga and may even take responsibility for its fruition, I have lost faith totally in the game and think that the credibility and integrity of the sport has been seriously damaged by the governing body, I think I'm going to stick to ARL and hope that BARLA don't compromise themselves in the same way as the RFL

While ever its 14 clubs, we will be in, so sod the rest and lets just carry on with what we have, which at the moment is very good. Together we are stronger and around for longer.

More bitterness again, I refer to 'we' as a loyal set of fans, backroom staff that haven't been paid in months and a set of loyal players who have stuck to the task despite their future being unknown.

If we had gone bust between seasons then we may also have had to sell players, as it happens this situation has occurred mid season and we have therefore been allowed some breathing space for the good of the game.

I haven't seen much sympathy from Wakey fans and a large percentage of the idiots we have had on our board are supporters of your club. The part I find amusing is that since you are in with a chance of making the playoffs suddenly your fans have become more vocal about their feelings, lets face it most Wakey fans couldn't care less about the Bulls situation until it directly affected them.

while i agree with the above, we must not forget this situation when it happens to someone else. should salford or even cas find themselves in the same situation as the bulls, i would support them for equal treatment.

bben able to continue without selling any of the bulls assets is at best "suspicious"

THIS.


But don't spoil it.

You have got there at the expense of every club, fan, local business and the RFL, you just don't seem to get it you ridiculous man. Would you like a

adding just to show how ridiculous you are.

Now show some dignity and keep quiet, you have the out come you wanted

Chomp

What is the % of idiots then on your board compared to other clubs that support Wakefield who are against the Bulls being in SL? Or is it just a sweeping statement?

You are referring about comments on message boards that are an absolute minority of total support of any of the clubs.

To put some reality into the situation and perhaps to balance your current opinion of our club, we have been where you are and worn the tee-shirt, our administrator didnt sack the back romm staff or the key people needed to run the club behind the scenes, no he sold some f our best players so we could run as a club in Admin will all facets n place, at the cost of a full season on the pitch last year and with the absolute prospect of not having a SL license re-newed. In your case the administrator who was appointed by the club has sacked everyone except the players, the humilty shown by the staff and the coaches etc to work for 'free' is extremely admirable and should be applauded. However the fact that your players wages have been paid by the RFL from advance funds and yes I know that its Sky money etc and some due to the club, the fact is that the amount of income coming into the club is virtually nil your supporter base is based upon the 10K cheap season tickets you sold, the additionality is in the main from away supporters.

Back to the staff clubs agreed not to plunder your players, however the brasen task of sacking everything but the playing staff and even having to source free line paint from Leeds is a bit rich and perception from the outside and other clubs is pretty low on the whole affair, its beeen on going for months. Just to cap it off you obtained a B grade license last year and its aparent that you had already recieved substantial funds from the RFL along with this seasons lease investment by them. We were refused a temporary loan of nothing like what the ulls got and also when we had a reported bug money backer the RFL wouldnt give a condition of SL:.

These are some of the differences so if you want to slag us of fine but do it from the moral high ground and not from the quick sand you are currently standing in.

On your bids good luck however the due diligence check has yet to come and that may spring a few suprises for details hacve alook at the forum on totalrl. The press releases just out give no assurances to the Bulls about their future only that SL will have 14 clubs, its up to your club to go for it and prove they can compete in SL as it will be 14 clubs.

Any sympathy I had for this lot disappeared long ago, mainly due to the arrogance of many of their fans and now I couldn't give a monkeys if they're here or not.

THE BULLS AND THE RFL, TOGETHER YOU ARE STRONGER

The club has been given the maximum punishment for going into administration, our finances are clearly a complete mess but the same team that started the season have managed to get us into the play off places, the team is there on merit.

The RFL and other SL clubs voted to allow us to see out the season, it seems that we are perceived as worth
keeping. I am more than entitled to put forward my opinion, as your fans are on our board.

Funnily enough I have not worked out the exact percentage, it just appears that a lot of the fans having a go at our club and hoping we fail are Wakey fans.

Our administrator has approached our administration in a completely different way to yours, some of his decisions have been very strange but if bold decisions like sacking staff (until a buyer is found and knowing a fund would probably be set up) rather than the players has meant we could retain our players, then maybe it was the right decision. Would we have got this support between seasons? Not so sure, very much doubt it.

The fact we were awarded a license when our finances were in a mess is strange I agree, but I'm sure we are not the only club in the same situation.
