There's nothing like making things up, is there?

I believe they voted to keep the number of clubs at 14, rather than reduce it to 12, but they certainly did not vote to stop other teams coming up or make it a closed shop. If thats whats being peddled in the Championship make no wonder many of the supporters have a huge chip on their shoulder.

Have to agree with you there. Hope widnes make a good go of it too, leave Catalan, London and cru at the bottom for the next 3 years

| look widnes got crapped on when they got relegated simple as ... they got rid of 2 themes that year yet of course the Frenches stayed up . widnes have satisfied the rules this and good luck to them . you never know guys widnes may win the grand final or evens above win the league yet!!!!! and we could actually finish bottom.
maybe just maybe there may be a slight air of poetry to it.
ive just about accepted it . not a doom monger at all . A Glover , Longo , Elston will turn the club around and come 2015 i believe the rebirth will be in full swing . if we go lets not wallow in pity but lick our wounds get a few bits of silverware and get are asses back were we belong. and in newmarket!!!!!

I stopped reading this ridiculous topic after this post. How someone can have a go at our league performances when you rooted down at the bottom on 0 points. We got shafted last time and instead of moaning about it, the last 3 years we have put together an incredible bid whilst maintaining steady crowds and producing a class youth setup.
In recent years Wakefield have dropped into administration and as for stadium plans, i haven't a clue whats going on there.

I honestly don't get posters like you. As you say you find a silly post about your club on here and then try and defeat it and yourself by being even more stupid.
For a start you moaned like crazy, and why not you had a point.
How are we rooted at the bottom, we have actually won two games, something you will find is non too easy when you join the big boys. If we hadn't had points deducted we'd be doing rather well considering who we have had to play so far.
Incredible bid, yeah if you say so.
Maintained crowds, can't say I've noticed but again if you say so.
Most monumentally daft point of all. If a club like Widnes can't put together a good youth policy to cope with the demand of an NL1 team and general Academy football then you'd better give up now. However before you get carried away wait and see if they make the step up to SL - it's a whole different world where NL1 players can go from Kings to clowns very quickly.
Wakefield went into admin this year, it's Widnes that did it in recent years - remember?
No one is moaning about Widnes getting into SL, people are unhappy with the system in general as they always have been. However we do accept we have to a degree been the masters of our own downfall.

No I never and i think you'd agree that as a club, we were dignified with the decision, took it on the chin and moved on.

Even if you had won the two games and been on four points, you'd still be near the bottom on 4 points with both Hull clubs.
Quote: vastman "

Richard Lewis said similar things when talking about the bid actually and there are plenty of videos around to prove this.
Maintained crowds, can't say I've noticed but again if you say so.
Having 3000 average crowd isn't too bad considering the away support is non existant in this league. We got 4000 against York this Sunday just gone with no away support, not too bad when Crusaders and Salford, our two rivals from the last franchise bid got under 4 thousand on the weekend. tv game i know, but still, poor effort.

I cant see how you can see this. Our under 16s went unbeaten last year against SL opposition, our under 18s were the only championship club in the under 18's SL division and we went on to win it. We have 4 players in the England academy squad. Clearly the RFL have seen our desire and commitment to the youth and this was a leading factor to why we were accepted

We did go into administration, 4 years ago. We have moved on and built a well ran, organised RL club. I thought clubs like Wakefield and other suffering clubs would have learnt a few lessons from clubs like us making financial mistakes.

It may take some time to get use to but this is how its going to be from now on, people have had 4 years to come to terms with it. I dont know how people can moan with the whole franchise situation, if anything, it has improved superleague by quite a bit. It gives some of the smaller clubs chances to improve on a 3 year basis. I'd never have thought that the top of the table would be Warrington, huddersfield and then Castleford. Only 4 years ago in 2007, Castleford where playing in the championship. This in itself surely indicates the success of the system, it allows clubs to slowly develop without the worry of relegation hanging over them

| I wasn't trying to have a go at Wakefield just try to justify the system and why we were picked and hopefully, within the 3 years given to us, we would be a better team. Although you may seem favourites to go down the RFL could relegate another team. Dare to Dream
