If and when it suits them

Everyone outside the SL set up know the RFL are a joke

How many teams have promised for years to deliver a new stadium or better facilities and actually delivered on them? The whole point of minimum standards was to improve facilities for fans and the image of the sport in general.

We should be grateful for the fantastic facility we were able to get built through the hard work of countless people!

You have to love the chairman's comment.... The ground is falling down so buy a season ticket to avoid disappointment.

People should keep in mind that had the credit crunch come 12 months earlier, Leigh could sell still be playing at Hilton Park today.

I think Wakey would be better renovating BV, but it would probably prove difficult.

How many chances do these men get? www.loverugbyleague.com/news_141 ... ction.html? Break the rules well just rip up the book and write another lot break then and just rip them up etc.etc.etc. Yes I know it appears to be a technicality but how many chances do they get. (and before any bright spark say 'dont forget Leigh were in the samr boat etc' we didn't go into receivership)

I like Wakey and their ground, where Londons playing this year holds 5000 only, Cas is a old stadium too, prefer atmospheres in the old type grounds

Lynda , I like a toilet with a roof on

.Charlie knows .

Like the roof over Barrows toilet behind the sticks? You can keep your head dry & watch the game at the same time what a luxary

Very true that Ian .

Must admit I've always felt RL was a sport that became obsessed with facilities rather than the on field product, bit like having a brand new expensive plane fitted with top end state of the art in flight entertainment systems that then only flies from Manchester - Southend, nice to look at but totally pointless to the majority and always over half empty apart from maybe once or twice a year.

A simplistic 'you must improve your ground to these minimum standards each step up the league ladder' with clear guidelines that work would be completed before the season starts is used to great success in Football and would have sufficed, of course though we didn't have promotion or relegation in our sport so it would have been a pointless exercise but maybe now it could work.

It's all right if it's the same rules for all.
Seems it depends on who u are what the rules are.
Like the Bradford thing now, they go into administration no points deduction, just before the season where P and R is back, if it was Wakey or Cas they would have got the deduction, that I have no doubt.
