Is anyone really surprised by how this has ended up?
A very bad time for the game indeed.
It's great to have local support from our mp but i think the club should distance themselves and carry on building towards 2012.

This is history. This is history. Right here. Right now. This is history.
I thought it was Widnes?

Wakefield turn over a big club every season and i see no reason why Widnes can't do the same.[/quote]:7294.jpg |

We would be slaughtered and people would judge us based on one year. We need the time. |

Just lays a VERY dangerous precident that 'not breaking any rules by moving'...
For example what if Wakey where faltering and the RFL just decided to move playing squad, coaches etc to Glasgow? Doesn't break any rules does it? And it's how they work in the NFL FRANCHISE system!

I don't think this could happen without the permission of wakefield and the players themselves. They would pretty much legally have to announce this before they even signed for the club so this isn't quite the same. |

Not many rules in their rulebook are there,as Pepe said on TIW.I mean,clubs fieldng ineligible players and they have no punishment to cover such an offence FF sake.Gross incompetence if nobody at the RL can be d looking at their own rulebook now and again to see if everything is up to date and in order. |

Yes there are.. if you go into administration you will be docked 9 points and precluded from serious contention within any licence application process.. |

an atmosphere that isn't created by people in matching shirts clapping along to a drum or novelty PA music might be nice!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40764.jpg |

Did he get back out? Now that is the question?

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote: "Quote: "SNOT-HIM08 wrote“Moving home grounds is not against the terms of the Super League licence and isn’t without precedent,” said the spokesman. '"
Yes Bridgend to Newport , not ideal but it has reason to it , possibly if it had been to Swansea , but 156 miles is just plain bloody crazy
The RFL should pull the SL licence , get hold of Kevin Ellis and the owners of Brewery Field , find some central funds and get a club either in SL if there is interested investors or if not re start back in Championship 1 , but based in Bridgend '"
In this scenario , you take their place but with a guaraneed spot till 2015 |

To be honest an MP bleating away demanding that Widnes be put in Superleague in place of another team will not go down well with the RFL. I think Widnes should just distance themselves from these comments and prepare for 2012 themselves.
