Welcome to the roler-coaster financial game of SL. Thank you for the comments and it does at least show that expansion has helped to bring along new supporters like yourself. I will now place my helmet on my head before I get shot down by some of the Wakie fans on here!

Eh? When has anyone blamed Crusaders or Quins for us going in to administration,we all know who's feet that falls at. All that has been said, is in regard to how their clubs administration went down and about their points deduction, which is rather fitting because it's what were going through.

What you mean is the Crusaders are guaranteed SKY money for the next 3 seasons and so the RFL can afford to lend them money knowing they will be able to pay it back.
We, on the other hand are almost guaranteed to be kicked out and therefore they won't lend us a bean as they can't guarantee us having the income to pay it back.
Strange that isn't it when allegedly the franchise decisions are not being made until July??

The fact remains that Crusaders were aloowed to write off somewhere in the region of £1.5Million and the only debt they carried forward was money owed to the RFL. Whereas we are being forced to sell numerous players to pay off substantially lower debts.

Dont take this as a dig at crusaders supporters, because it isn't, but live by the sword die by the sword.
This is the results of RFL expansionist meddling, that cocks it up for the supporters of whatever club, and because the RFL is run by a bunch of power crazy chimps, they cant see that with every short term tweak to benefit one of its favoured clubs, it causes long term problems for supporters in that they are the focus of any resentment and hostility from other supporters.
It also unevens the balance that has resulted in over a hundred years of development in the game generally and causes clubs with every right to continue (if there run correctly and responsibly) on an even kilter.
This clearly is not the case because the RFL mandate is one of change, well they may well get their change in the end, it could well be expansion or it could also be the death of the game.

I wish Crusaders well, I really do. (Well those who know me will say "you would tho' "icon_wink.gif. And after Saturday's showing, it looks like you have something good to look forward to.
You, as a club, have done what was needed to stay afloat, as we have for the last 11 or so years.
As a fan, it's out of your hands. You can only follow what is served up to you.
It is not your fault we are where we are, but from where we are, it is easy to point the finger that there is not a level playing field.
On a personal note, I have for a few seasons had enough of Sooper Dooper League and visiting 'fans' bitching about having to soil their souls by even coming to BV.
If we have somewhere to play, and have a club, I will look forward to NL rugby.

They looked pretty good on Sunday aswell against Salford!

DOH!!!

Cheers. Me 'ead's in administration.

Dont worry we all are, its at time like these thats its difficult to think about whats going on the pitch with ourselves, let alone anyone else!

Nothing hypocritical at all, as far as I'm aware, Crusaders didn't overspend on average players in Wakefield#'s squad nor employ 3 people in one role at Belle Vue!
