I'm not going to blow smoke up your arris old lad - NL1 is in no way, shape or form more entertaining than SL and that, I'm afraid, is a fact.

Sorry if I didn't respond very positively to your encouragement - it was based on a false premise and thus, was a tad patronising.

Some of you really deserve championship rugby league. The way you talk about it and slag it off is sad and you will at least learn a lesson about the lower leagues. Your club is not too good for the championship, and several of the clubs in it would shine in the super league given the chance but they never will. It's an entertaining league but its being treated shoddily by those in charge of the game.

I know about leagues lower than the SL and I'm quite ready for what we may have to cope with

still think there is another twist in the tail

the way that we have gone on after the season start says only 1 thing to me..jk doesnt want us in super league! he has other motives imho!

That's a matter of opinion, not a fact. Exciting SL games on TV are few and far between, the same can't be said for the Championship which are regularly evenly fought contests. Players are not as big, fast and strong, I'll give you that, but,in my opinion, their pure footballing skills are just as good but with more time and space to express themselves.

Regarding the patronising bit, well personally, I couldn't care less what happens to your club. Perhaps what doesn't sit well with you is the fact that my club has made a remarkably positive effort to go forward, much more so than Wakefield, and without the benefit of Sky's millions at that.

If Rovers can do it then so can any other club in the Championship is all I was saying. No need for the nastiness.

most fans know the way a super league club is chosen is wrong crusaders and london are both weaker clubs than wakey but they wont be dropped. if it is you then it a discrace but not a suprise!

We do know about lower leagues we have been there in the past we just don't want to be there. Whats wrong with that? We as a club and a CITY have the potential under our new ownership and with NM on the horizon to be a top SL club so if we don't get a franchise it will be a shame but we will dust ourselves down and go in a professional manner to get back in SL asap

To say you couldnt care less about us you always seem to be on here. In what ways have fev gone more forward than Wakefield? Community, schools, crowds, academy, scholarship, away fans experience? I'm not getting into a wakey fev fight no doubt that will happen if we go down at post office road but what have fev done to move more forward than wakefield?

Learn a lesson? You seem to forget that we've been there, done that and bought the replica shirt.

Sanctimonious ar5e.

Work commenced on revamped ground is pretty substantial wouldn't you say? This and the other attributes, apart from crowds which we don't inflate like some, have been achieved without the SL funding that Wakefield have had. Pretty remarkable I'd say.

By the way I come on here about twice a week much the same as I visit other clubs boards. I'm a RL fan and like to see what's going on.

So you have plans to do up POR we have plans for the community stadium that have been called in PI hopefully sorted soon and fully funded so that's that sorted what about the other stuff ?

Read my second sentence, we do as much as Wakey and most other SL clubs ie Youth structures, Schools, Scholarships, Education for all etc etc but without Sky funding. And without going bust.

You seem to be under the misconception that Sky funding is anything other than a subsidy towards part of the players' higher wages.

Add to them the likes of Fev, Dewsbury, Workington it would be a long slow death new young fans would go off to support the SL clubs
Divorced from ALL RL if we lose out

and despite this how many people can be d to turn out and watch Featherstone the Championship is a death sentence long term for ALL clubs most dont even get 1000 through the gate
