When are people going to realise.....

it doesnt matter if we both get our stadiums, the RFL dont want either in the competition.

Lets say Cas get there stadium and Wakey dont (or vice versa) then there will be arguments that we are too close to leeds and bradford the.

The RFL dont want teams in the competition that punch above their weight. They want 14 powerhouses from all accross europe, sadly for us, Cas, Wakey, Salford dont fall into this category.

In 10 years time, if the clubs we love are still running we will be playing in NL1. Thats is how i see it going.

The game is run by amatures, the RFL are bent and will screw over any club and forget the proud history of the clubs and the game to get where they want!!

In that case then the game will die, look at the leagues puppies in wales, a massive 1495 or so to watch 2 teams battling for the top 8...................................................................

Roll on the championship and honest competition instead of the bent superleague joke

I fully agree with this, i would rather play in NL1 with a local team then try to please the joke of an organisation the run our game!!

Starting to feel the same.
I must admit i enjoyed NL1 rugby, maybe because we was winning, it does help.

My only problem with it is we would lose all our good players....westerman, chase, owen, and a few others.

It doesnt make a difference whether we own our ground or not.

The reason we will need to share a ground until ours is built is so that we play in ground that meets SL standards - which at the moment the Jungle doesn't (this is why Wakey will be sharing with Barnsley - temporarily)

Should we choose the option not to find anyone to share with we will be rejected for a license and down in NL1

Keepmoat it is then

It did at the last franchise licenses. Whats changed.

It did last time due to the Portaloos

The RFL were happy to accept promises last time, I don't think they will be so lenient this time. Empty promises from us or Wakey are not acceptable - after all, Salford, Saints and Crusaders have already made other plans and pretty much got their stadia sorted

Only 1495 at Crusaders on Sunday ?

=#0080FFI doubt that will be the case if our stadium is on track.

I'm pretty sure the reason Saints are moving is because of terms of the land sale as well as the fact that they've stated that remaining in KR has become too expensive otherwise they'd have probably stayed put.

I'm sure we can afford to remain at the Jungle until our new stadium is built.

As if that would go against them.
The RFL are blinkered when it comes to teams like....crusaders.....catalans....quins.

It's the clubs who have played in the top flight and been a RL club for early 100 years they want to punish.

If it had been 95 they would turn a blind eye.

=#0080FFQuins is the big one for me, they've had long enough and they're still poor.

Catalans have proved to me that they're capable of bringing a lot to the game.

Crusaders? The juries still out.

Fair do's with catalans they get the crowds at home.
Problem with them are no away fans apart from a coupleof dozen.

Also get there quota down to the same as the rest and see how they cope.
To many aussies for me in the squad.

=#0080FFI agree, they've had long enough with special treatment and should play on a level playing field with the rest of us.

Unfortunately the travelling fans is something that will always remain the same with them, I'm sure most fans agree that travelling to France once a season is hard enough, it's much more difficult for their fans.

With you on that.

If we were united on one thing, it was that neither wanted to be joined in with the other.

I'm not sure about the exact detail of this but Wakey have an advantage on this groundshare thing, if you can call losing your home ground an advantage . Again I'm not totally sure about this and may be wording it wrongly. From what I have heard, because Oakwell is only six mile from BV the RFL bylaws will consider it to still be a homeground and we could actually play there permanently if required at no detriment to our franchise. If Cas to move any existing stadium they will move out of there own district area and will no longer be Cas and lose a large number of franchise points.

So basically Wakey would get a franchise at Oakwell but Cas would not as there is no viable groundshare close enough. Again I may be wrong but it's what I've heard.

Not sure on the laws on this but the RFL will change to suit.

BTW as is constantly pointed out Cas is in wakefield thus we could play there too as it seem Barnsley is also now part of wakefiled. what next wembley , old trafford lol sorry your lot couldnt even fill the changing roomsd there

There trying to remember which smoke and mirrors they have already used

Don't you just hate it when people do that, making up stuff to suit their own argument.





Ah nice one tb, you spotted it before me. Don't you just hate it when people make stuff up to suit their own argument!



So yeah, i'm happy for Wakey that they feel confident they can go it alone and get their own stadium built. I'm happy both clubs wish to work towards getting a SL quality stadium to take both clubs forward. I'm also happy for the proper rugby league fans of Wakefield that they are not just going to have their club role over and disappear.

But ffs Wakey fans, don't come on here spouting blatant lies to make your progression sound better than it really is and even more importantly, better than our own progression. Propaganda is used in wars, not stadium building, so keep all that crap that some of you have in your heads that you seem to think is "the truth" and leave it there. Stop coming on here or telling the world that you know a guy in India who has the contract to hand mould the bricks that will be used to build your stadium. We're both in need of the stadiums and we're both in the same boat. It's not a competition between us to win the one and only place left in SL. I don't understand how any Cas or Wakey fan can begrudge the other anything when we are so similar in needs right now. For me it's similar to when we beat Widnes in the GF. I'll always sympathise with them because they are as big a club as us and we could have so easily been in their position right now. So get on with doing all you can for your clubs and supporting your team and feck right off with all this crap that seems to be flooding our boards, especially the crap that is totally untrue!

What wakey fans, there is only the one what has mentioned anything, on the other hand if you care to go on the Wakey board you will see who is spouting all the crap squire, gasbag,riggins,bigalf, and ambernotyeller to name but a few and not very pleasant with it either, we have made our statement of intent, I suggest your club do the same and get about your business of building your new stadium instead of trying to pick holes in the statement read out at our game yesterday.

So Oakwell can be considered Wakefield's home ground when it isn't even in the same County?

Cas to make a statement tomorrow.

Awwwww you mentioned me again



I guess over on the Wakey forum, making valid points to counter argue your blatant lies is considered trolling then? ok, good to know
