I don't like to hear that any RL club are in trouble, hope all turns out well for Wakey.

Another Franchise success story, I wonder if Stevo will attempt to answer the 2 fundamental questions below on what is supposed to justify the franchise farce :-

1) How many overseas players will play in SL in 2011 (3rd year in Franchise world) compared to the 2008 last of (P&R) season?

2) As it stopped boom and bust mentality? How do we measure............. err lets see how many clubs went in to financial difficult in 2006 - 2008 compared with 2009 - 2011

Answers on a postcard please C/O Richard Lewis/Nigel Wood, RL HQ, Red Hall, Leeds,

I await Wembley and Leigh Leigh telling me how great a job the RFL are doing and how RU look on in envy..............

Let me go and get a Whisky and I might believe Nigel and Richards fairy story too......

Its not good at all.

Cheers for the support chaps. (OFFTHECUFF excluded from that of course ...)

Not good news at all, I feel sorry for any club & their true supporters when things like this happen.

A fresh start in our league may actually do them some good & they'll find out what their true fan base is.

Good luck for the season Wildthing I hope your club stays afloat

you'll have to forgive him-he's a mutant.

best of luck for the coming season.

Cheers also you 2.

I was only joking.Anyway hope you come through it, and goodluck in the Championship in the next 3 yrs.

Up yours.

I know I shouldn't, but I would pi$$ myself if widnes didn't get the nod in march, arrogant gits some of em

The RFL website, under the story 'High Court Date For Wildcats', says that:-

[i"Wakefield were already considered to be the Super League club most in danger of being relegated to the Championship when a new batch of three-year licences are awarded at the end of this season."[/i

Whilst many supporters may well think just that, surely the Game's governing body is out of order to print that statement?

You`ll upset certain folks with your last sentence ,having the temerity to doubt the RFL.....

The rumour is flying around again saying that in the new applications W$gans home ground will say Leigh Sports Village.

But we all know it doesn't exist so thats them out of SL then

wont happen its not big enough to hold Wigans season ticket holders

Plus if the car parks can't cope with a 3500(?) crowd then a full house every week would bring the town to a standstill

I got off no problem, it must be all of you road rage drivers who have the problem.................

It wasn't the getting off, that was fine. It was the fact it was full well before kick off, and the crowd was just over 25% capacity. Something not quite right

The parking is still head and shoulders above Wigan,Wire and numerous others.

Won't happen in a million years. 10,000 season ticket holders in a 12,700 ground? Not a chance.


Sorry Bart but Wigan's got thousands of spaces. 5 car parks in fact. We've been hit badly with the loss of the mudhill to Morrison's.

Are you including the Robin Park retail park as potential car spaces?.

Don't quote me, but i'm sure i read somewere that with a little tinkering and moving of crush barriers, it could be made into 14,000.

if you go down the side of B&Q there is loads of car p[arking and i think if you are parked on retail park to long on match days you will get a ticket

Theres always the flash car parks we could use, like at the International.

No. Go down Stadium Way and there are several HUGE car parks.

Even expanding the LSV to 15,000 wouldn't even be close to what Wigan need.
