Halifax ground better, Future believed instead of bricks and mortar blah blah blah
Owner/whatever of Halifax
They have won their titles and we havent
Blah blah blah
We havent got a good ground for the spectators
Blah blah blah
Moan about Wakefield all you want, what about moaning about all the other grade C licencees
Pi$$es me off that everyone thinks we were the weakest link

It's ridiculous, that they're stamping their feet and saying we've got a better stadium, there is so much more to it than that, otherwise Leigh would be in.

Halifax have said we have lied about our stadium. WE HAVEN'T. The council led us up the garden path with Thornes Park and as we know Newmarket got called in.

Rise above it, we got in because we had a better application than them plain and simple. I think the media have perceived us as dead certs to drop, a club with no chance who is hanging onto the ropes and everyone have believed them.

Hence their frustration, it'll blow over

That defo has a huge part to play.

And, as has been mentioned time and time again, stadia is only one of the criteria. That said, if we are still at Belle Vue in 2013, we're screwed for real. No excuses.

That's a given.

Convince yourselves all you want , they do have a point

You have to ask the question , if a Championship club cannot put together a stronger application than yourselves currently , then no Championship club will ever get to move up again

We will, thanks.

Re stadia. Savilles have reviewed this element so he is on dodgy ground if he is inferring they have not done their job as professional consultants properly.

On the VT a fax fan says he's a Solictor by trade, I wonder if he drew up the contract when Ted sold that land to Sainsburys?

Something else to blame Wakey for then!

He can say what he wants the only thing that matters is that we deliver and that we are not in this mess in 3 years

He's on Talksport NOW

I don't know who you support, but I know what papers you read.
There are more than one ESL clubs who did not have a better application than ours.

4 clubs on C.

Not Wakeys fault , just a corrupt system overseen by corrupt administration

sorry but Andrew Glover as never been in administration with Wakefield , thats the excuse those londoners gave a few years ago , good enough for them good enough for us .

do you mean talk football

Did anyone from the review panel actually said it was between us and Fax?
Have quins made a better job of us or is that what some might try and hide.

That's why I stopped listening to it a few years back!!!

I won't reveal my source but I've been told on numerous occasions today that Halifax had an open goal and hit the corner flag. Their application was very poor, full of gaps and inaccuracies as was the Crusaders and we would have gained a franchise over these two even if Crusaders hadn't withdrawn.

Shoot me down in flames for not providing a link if you want but the truth will out in time.

Of course you can talk about our application because you know someone who knows someone who knows someone. Holes all over the place.... Must be moles.

There are bound to be sour grapes knocking around the place in Halifax, that is because what is perceived as your winning parts of the bid is what you can do because you have had SKY millions for the past few years, which we havent.

We promised to introduce a structured youth system (we have a record of fullfilling our promises) you have promised to do something about the ground (you dont have a track record of fullfilling your promises). The RFL chose to believe you over us, because they took the EASY option.

Like I said in another post, Its not really about Wakefield, you are a traditional Yorkshire team and we do wish you well. The main worry we have is if all the C grade teams achieve a B grade next year, pull up the draw bridge and close the doors, because its over for everyone else.

That said, its NOT Wakefields fault, they did exactly what they should, which is to protect themselves and you did a good job, no its all the fault of the RFL and their stupd franchise system.

Bring back promotion and relegation and give us something to damn well play for.

The sour grapes are against the RFL, not Wakefield.

Everyone connected with Fax has a right to be ed off, especially our chairman who has wasted copious amouts of time and money on even bothering

can i just put all the confusion to bed about it being between Wakefield and Halifax, believe it or not Wakefields application was good, and it was between Halifax and 2 other clubs(not naming names to avoid a war of words)

Trinity are in Super League on merit and not default

Actually thats a fair question. If all the teams that currently sit on a C, get their new grounds and make the necessary changes to improve their structures then surely that does mean the RFL have no choice but to shut up shop ?

Promotion & Relegation is what ruined the game over the past few years, and Id be glad to see it back in some capacity.

If their application had been better than the other championship application, there wouldn't be this discussion.
