It shouldn't deflect from why the lottery was set up in the first place, you're right.

Well good job it's not a popularity contest! If it was I'd probably be in a very sorry state! Whether or not you personally like me is neither here nor there, I won't be learning anything from star bug and you may soon learn that if you become the front runners for a SL license in 2015 he will similarly drive you mad with his conspiracy theories and unwarranted moans about you and your club.
He insists that he doesn't want his club anywhere near super league but he is obsessed by the process.

I'm with you on that; along with SmokeyTA, Saddened and Phipps, these behemoths of the VT are living proof that it's easy to get a round of applause in a room full of morons.
If they moved in here with their endless pedantry, lengthy split-quote replies and deliberate sophistry, the place would soon be as empty as the Shudds board.

Harsh on starbug to be lumped in with those numpties, he's alright. You forgot to mention Dally now he's a bell end of great magnitude no doubt

When Wakey start posting million pound profits the year after million pound losses I'll start the unwarranted moans
And you are wrong Chris , I do want Leigh in SL , as long as it's by winning promotion via a yearly sporting contest , or when Leigh are in a position similar to Widnes now , with a larger fan base and the various other positives you possess , whereupon they will be a potential SL franchisee

Fair enough Jimmy there's no doubt you have tried hard in this process. I also like the last paragraph at least it looks you may consider a fight. I think the first question to be asked should be ,why did the RFL 'advise' us not to go to Barnsley ?
If we had been there already we would have scored more franchise points and no one can dispute that. If we do get the chop then it looks like this was nothing more than a cynical con trick by the RFL to make life easier for themselves.

This is one I can't get my head aroung either. The only reason for us not to put Oakwell in our application would be if the RFL said you're in if you stay at Belle Vue.
If we had put Oakwell in we fullfil all Stadium requirement standards. It would have been impossible for the RFL to justifyably kick us out. I'm not saying they wouldn't have but it would have been an obvious stitch up.
There is one other reason, I suppose. Andrew Glover is a Cas fan working under cover.

| It is rather confusing. It seems the contents of the application remains unknown to most, more likely all, on here, but every so often we see snippets of info regarding it.
Some suggest the application includes Oakwell with a five year tenancy agreement as the third option with respect to facilities, with the upgrade of BV being the second. If the upgrade is unacceptable to the RFL then Oakwell comes into play.
How true this is I don't know. Guess we'll find out soon enough.
