| Quote ="wishy"Alienating? What about Widnes in 2008??? You should've gone down into the Championship for the next few years after all the promises you given over the last decade, then the champoinship would become a competitive league as there are goals to be had as with this decision it just shows SL is a closed shop, those already in will never be demoted no matter how much mess they get in!!! I still can't see in this financial climate you ever getting a decent ground in 3 years, plus what bargaining tool do you have now? You can't say your league position is at stake here now can you as again this decision has been proved!! Halifax ticked all the boxes required from them you didn't the only difference is a business plan which at the moment is just a plan! You were warned on many occasions get your stadium sorted which you haven't, just look at Salford and Saints did they really need to build theirs?? But they did because they felt the threat from the rfl was true.
Yes we will see in time just how you'll do and push on and I for one would be happy for you to progress and help create a competitive league but atm it's all hot air just like in the past all talk no action!'"
As regards the stadium funding is in place, just waiting for the green light from the public enquiry. So that should be sorted out long before the next round of franchising comes around (something that the RFL will be aware of.) If not then we could well get the boot and have no complaints.
Also Halifax's ticking boxes exercise is all well and good, but the fact is that its not about meeting all minimum criteria and then being granted a license, certain areas you will excel in and others not so much - clearly we excelled in more areas than Halifax, or to a greater extent in the same areas hence our inclusion.

| Certain areas you're bound to do better in because you're in SL at the moment and they're not. Reverse the situation and I'm sure you'd have been in much the same boat. Worse even.
How quaint it is defending the RFL now. How ironic. And given the fact you've got the result you wanted how very predictable.
What about those banners you were going to wave about? Sod Superleague or whatever it was they said. The fact even your own thought you were sunk speaks volumes. Decorate it however you like. Polish that turd. Roll it in glitter even. You're just changing your opinion to suit what you want, what's happened and what you think will happen in the future. You can fool yourself if you like but you can't force feed us pop and expect us to think it's champagne.

| There's a thread on the Wakey board about the possibility of them getting a Grade A licence already, a mere matter of days after their stay of execution.
Don't get me wrong, I like Trinity in SL, but talk about no self awareness at all....

| I'm afraid some of them are a bunch of half wit hypocrites who can't see beyond the end of their noses.
They will sling mud completely oblivious to the fact they condemn themselves in the process.

| Club being transformed into the best in the game. Back where we belong. No one likes us, we don't care. We're bigger than Wigan and your Dad and your Dad's Dad. And when they park a duke it smells like freshly mown grass and they sell it to Bob Ross' company so they can make Yellow Ochre out of it!
Heard it all before. I'm content concentrating on us, it's better that way. When our club makes assertions we actually follow through on them to prove they were right.

Not at all, I still maintain that the RFL is bent as a 9-bob note however my opinion of them has raised slightly as they have actually stuck to their policy of selecting the best 14 applications, rather than granting Crusaders immunity due to their half d expansionist ideas, as everyone expected. Who knows, if Crusaders hadn't pulled out then they may still have done.
Obviously we have an advantage over Halifax as we are applying from SL, however thats not the issue, the fact is that our bid was better than theirs, end of.

No pal... 'End Of' is the bare fact that the Pussies are in Super League by default.

| He's been a bit naughty there hasn't he. The RFL have bothered to come out and say that he was not told what he has been quoted as saying.

Edited for accuracy
When have they not stuck to their policy of picking the best applicants?
Only your board in its fevered state suggested they would include the Crusaders over you, anyone with an ounce of sense could see the best applicants would be picked and lo and behold, they picked the best 14 available.
Now who would have thought that, the RFL actually picking the best 14 and not some half cocked conspiracy theories that were getting bandied around.
Im sure AG will rectify things for next time around so your not in the same position.

ATEOTD guys, we know, you know,the whole world knows that wakefield would be gone now had it not been for,either
A:crusaders withdrew/were asked to withdraw
B:wakefield have a rich backer behind them and we all know what money can do
