Nah, i'll go next year when you play them. Got a few Swinton mates so i'd find it particularly amusing to see them turn you over.
Saying that, they were a top side once upon a time!
You lot in the Championship might spice things up a bit, a nice game versus Fev to look forward to, watch yourself a POR though, they're not very welcoming!

| Good to see that some can see a moral dilemma.
It has been pointed out that Wakefield and others have previously benefited from the demise of other clubs i.e. relegation, but this is a different scenario. The players are not free agents, their contracts are still valid and Trinity have (hopefully) a full SL season in front of them in which they need to field a competitive team for the good of the league and other teams as much as themselves.
I'm sure if the clubs waited to the end of the season they could have the pick of the whole squad for free, but this is the era we now trade in.
The administrators are only doing their job and until the buy-out is official they can only assume no deal is in place. As O'Hara's say if an offer comes in for a player they cannot justify not accepting it, but there's the issue; if no offers were received they'd have to look elsewhere to try and recoup funds.
What I would find most unpalatable would be for players signed under these circumstances then going on to fail to claim a regular first team place.
I'm sure when the deal is finally done we will find the good side of the RL community in other teams offering loan players to get through the season.
Enjoy being top of the league; and if you could see your way to beating Huddersfield and staying there for another week that would be most appredciated.

| Rubbish situation for our game to be honest. Franchising, 20/20 type rules, the salary cap were supposed to protect clubs from this kind of situation and allow them to manage and budget effectively. Especially in year 3 or a 3 year license, this should be the safest year, unless the business plan was seriously flawed or the spent hugely? Neither of which looks likely as the squad was still similar last year, gates and prices similar - which means the worst of all possible scenarios for a fan - that someone upstairs or in beancounter world caused this.
When we went down we remained solvent and strong as a business core, becuase our demise was on field under achievement, so we were able to put things together and bounce back.
I have no real interest in Wakey as a supported, except I enjoy the local derby and I will miss them if they don't get a license. It's very very sad.
On a slightly different note, I am actually more worried about Salford on the field - they feel very much like is when we went down (not trolling I have friends personally there)..... There is no good reason why the individuals in those shirts should be so average, out of sorts or poorly performing, but like when we had our first relegation, it just looked very negative and invididuals trying too hard and playing and acting out of character.
When all is said and done, when Cas beat people, I want it to be because we were stronger, wanted it more and won, it doesn't serve anyone if there are clubs in our division being whipped becuase they are crap, it does nothing for us all.

I'd have been interested in Ferguson and Obst but not really that bothered about any of the others.

No they don't and THEY'RE PAYING FOR WAKEFIELD'S ADMINISTRATORS come on before you post drivel, get the facts right.
They overspent, and now they're paying for it, it's nobodies fault but their own and now they have to pay for that.

I suppose you did when you relegated us.
We came back, stronger.
I suppose I should wish you luck in doing the same.

| Is this part of the planned takeover process for the new owner with the administrators clearing the decks? Or have things just gone from bad to worse? Can things get any worse for Wakey right now?

Relegation and promotion are part of the sport mate (or they were until Redhall made up a new set of rules to suit themselves !!), and there was never any real danger of Cas going out of business. I'm glad you came back up, as I'm sure you'll find most Wakey fans were, 'cos our derby games are the ones that most of us look forward to the most.
However, we are currently in our darkest hour, and will do well to survive our current predicament intact, and as part of the Rugby League family a bit of moral support would be gratefully appreciated, as has been forthcoming from other club's fans (and indeed some of your fans on here ) .
We know that this is our last season in SL, and if we do manage to make it to the end of the season, that this could be the last time we play you for a few years, but if you'd rather have 20 Crusaders fans contributing to your stadium build, than 4,000 Wakey fans, then so be it !!!!

I must confess to very dark thoughts about WTW and many of their fans due to our relegations in 2004 and 2006 but I've never come close to wishing for the horrendous situation you now appear to be in. I have stated elsewhere that I would be opposed to Cas signing any Wakey player unless the owners wanted/needed to realise an asset and I would hope that SL clubs would rally round in any way they could for the sake of the game as well as the loyal trinity fans who in the past will have paid at their turnstiles as well as Belle Vues.
Anyway at least you're maintaining a sense of humour because you must be having a laugh when suggesting 4000 of you come to Cas....do that many even turn up for all your home games?
