There’s plenty of posters on forums that disagree with Wakey in SL , never forget where you came from is all I can say

They can disagree with it all they want for me....we have earned our return both on merit by winning every competition we have entered, including breaking a world record on the way, and have ticked every box possible to secure an A-grade for IMG. We could not have done any more !!





....to them

I don't know what Salford are moaning about. Had they not got away with paying no rent ( allegedly) over the last few years they might not have been in super league years ago.

Yep like winning the league leaders shield by 13 points , winning the 1895 Cup and The Grand Final putting a new stand up that's totally changed the face of Belle Vue plus all the other things we've done to achieve Grade A status .

Yep it's proper controversial innit

For a bloke who is a savvy business man, you would think he would have realised the futility of throwing money away to achieve nothing with that lot

How good is that..??

Allegedly they havent paid a penny in rent since they moved in and have only made part payment on interest charges on the loan from salford council, if I was a council tax payer in that LA I would be asking some very serious questions regarding the councils purchase of the ground

You certainly would
But it seems the bigger the hole gets the bigger the cheque gets that goes into it..

There's no "allegedly" about it.

They STILL don't pay full rent.

Sham club.

I haven't read many at all that disagree that we should be in SL, ateotd those that prefer P and R, we've done it that way and for those that like IMG we've done it that way as well, so can't see why anyone's moaning about us getting back into SL.

The one thing that I hear when people are moaning, is about us getting an A grade and they think we haven't done anything to earn it apart from winning the Grand Final and 1895 Cup, I also notice that the moans come from fans of SL clubs that haven't been down to Trinity since Matt took over the club and have seen what he's done. Also, they don't know that the ground we own was valued at £14 million and we've got half a million in cash in the bank, our finances are top-notch. In all areas we can improve the club, we've gone out of our way to do so, from social media to getting people through the gates and everything in between.

Hull fans moaning about their LED screens not passing IMG regulations, well we went through that. We went out and bought the LED screen that they originally required and they then changed the requirements earlier this year of the TV screen's size and pixels, but we went straight out and bought another and not whinged about it.

I get the impression that most fans think it's the same Trinity that's been in SL before and they couldn't be further from the truth. The grounds changed vastly and will continue to do so. We also have the one thing we've never had and that's a guy who can put money in to get us to where we want to be, all you have to do is look at Hull KR, Leigh and Warrington to see what having a money man behind the team can do.

The majority of moaners on SM throughout the day have come across as individuals who haven't the slightest clue how the IMG Rankins and points systems work, Mainly Saints and Wigan fans for some strange reason.

Poor effort that FT....

Another one with a poor effort.....

I've been all over these rules for ages as most know but now we have a 15+ it'll be nice to just talk about rugby for a while.

Did you hear Wilkins interview on Sky. Even he doesn’t know how it works or the IMG plans to expand once over 12 A’s are reached.

He completely undermined IMG on Sky and talked about the game not having money and owners being selfish and would probably vote to reduce to 10.

How short sighted, lack of preparation and knowledge and an opportunity to really sell the IMG and sport and he comes out with that. These pundits and sport just don’t do themselves any favours. He showed a complete lack of confidence in the game, clubs and new format on the program to release the IMG scores. Amateur stuff.

Wilkins is always moaning and bitching about something, just like he did when he played. He's completely failed to make the transition from a player focused on one club to an independently minded pundit. There's got to be better available...

I get Wilkins main point, that there are a few clubs that don’t project Super League like the big few, but what he doesn’t get is that none have done it without a wealthy backer. They’ve all done it through rich supporter, or another organisation, or the council helping them out with grounds. If Tesco hadn’t wanted to build a big supermarket, Saints would still be playing out of Knowsley Road, with fans using open-air toilets (although I prefer Knowsley road to the new one). Hull KR is probably the nearest club to doing it themselves, as they have built slowly, and us!

However, I understand the argument that we got Grade A based partly on winning competitions every other club would have won if they had a full-time squad and half-filled with super league players, whereas Huddersfield and others are judged against stiffer competition, but I can’t imagine any super league club preferring London to us.

And just so I understand, does this definitely mean that we can’t be relegated next year?
