Quote: gowerthegroap "It is too easy to draw comparisons between Wakefield and Widnes.

Widnes were demoted last time around for a number of reasons. They have to be fair to Widnes now corrected most of these. The one offered by the RFL was the fact that they had recently gone into administration. The difference between then and now, however is that Widnes were alone in their predicament. People draw similarities between our entry into administration and that of Widnes, automatically linking the two. Widnes were dropped for reasons of financial failure, therefore so should Wakefield. WRONG!! Wakefield are not the only club to enter administration this season. The RFL simply cannot use this as a stand alone reason for expelling us from the league.

The thing I do struggle to understand is that Salford who both on and off the field have hardly set the world alight are being looked upon as dead certs because of a new stadium. Correct me if I am wrong, but the stadium Widnes were playing out of when they were dropped was in stadium terms, new. Without looking further than geographical location I don't see any other reason why they are seen as impervious to the drop. However, here are some ground to ground, interesting facts for you


There is one possibility that we may all be overlooking imo . The legue could demote 2 current SL teams in preference for Widnes AND Halifax . This way they could have more justification for their decision and make it very difficult for clubs to mount a serious objection . Wakefield and Crusaders could both be demoted on the grounds of administration . This takes away Wakey's argument that it's unfair they should be the ones to go if Crusaders also went into admin . From a personal point of view it could be us and Wakey on the grounds of broken promises on the stadium front , again if we were both demoted then neither of us could use the counter argument that if Cas ground not built etc then why are Wakey different to us or vice versa . With Halifax already being allowed to re-apply I feel , more and more , that this could be the way RFL are thinking . Demote two clubs on similar grounds and allow Fax in

Another combination, Crusaders and Cas. Crusaders because of lack of funds and Cas with no stadium and no up-grade of Wheldon Road, now BV is going to be brought up to-date.

I'm feeling pretty positive at the moment, for some reason I think we'll get our franchise, I think the noises we have made are too loud to ignore and they're not just pipe dreams.

You could be right . When you look at the possibility of two teams demoted then there are a number of possible combinations that can be made to sound feasable , but I do feel that if RFL take this approach then they would demote two teams for similar reasons ie admin or grounds etc , as it makes it easier for them to justify

I've had this crazy idea, lets take the 14 best applications from all RL clubs and make a Super League, it must be done on the applications and not the "who we want" or what may be best for the game, just the 14 strongest.

Would it work.

My heart says we won't get a franchise but my head has doubts. The club seem to be going in the right direction and have even advertised 2 job vacancies in the past couple of weeks, the last one being an admin position in the community department which you wouldn't think could be run on the same scale in the lower league. May be a short lived job! Hope my heart is proved wrong.

What a stupid idea...

Have you considered working for the RFL?

This is true, but I get the impression that others in the RL world see us as "all mouth, no trousers" - i mean how long have we been going on about a new stadium? Some people see the hospitality box as a massive portacabin we built instead of upgrading the ground properly as we promised.

It would be really unfair for us to get the boot, but as others have said - the other teams who are competing with us would say the same about their own bid. We'll just have to wait and see.

I have always considered, "lack of faith" from the RFL in us as a club, to be one of our major stumbling blocks.
From all reports the RFL are, and continue to be hugely impressed by the efforts the club has gone to, hopefully they will realise that what has been achieved in 6 months could go on and make us a very reputable SL club.
At this moment in time we are the most progressive "club" in the competition, other clubs are being told to look at some of our operations as "best practice".
I hope this stands us in good stead, and that the RFL bods realise what they are dealing with, and don't let either our past or their proposed expansionist future derail the good work being done.
Potentialy the sleeping giant has started to stir, lets not be put into a RFL induced coma, to protect clubs with nothing to offer.
