I have posted similar on your forum last week there is speculation/ rumours call them what you want that the RFL will force Wakey & Cas to merge to allow way for Widnes, i applaud your stance wanting your own ground and identity but i believe if you don't play ball with the RFL i think you will be in trouble . It's a shame for you and Cas when the RFL throw money at the Bronco's / Quins it's a joke . Good Luck from a Hull KR fan.

On what basis do you think you should be kept in super league indefinitely and forever and keep out teams knocking on the door? You have to give clubs their chance. There are a few outside SL who think they could do better than the lesser SL teams, my club is obviously one of them as is Fax, Leigh and Barrow and although it is very difficult from this league to match a super league teams credentials we can at least prove that we work as a club and have the potential to do better, and if you were in this league right now can you honestly say the crowds you'd get and your stadium etc would make you stand out from those teams in any particular way?

You've had the good fortune to be taken on your word re. the stadium build and let into super league for the first round of licenses. You've had three years to get it right, and a few clubs have not really gone forwards so it's time to give someone else their shot.

We've had three years have we????
Think you need to get your facts right fella.

i personally don't know if this rumour is true or not,but it's doing the rounds
apparently glenn morrison has had his 2 year deal cut back to a 1 year deal and he's not very happy?
could be just vicious rumours though?
has anyone else heard this?

actually the facts are worse than that.

Thought he just signed a one year extension not two.

yes but we haven't had three years under the franchise system yet.
Plus most of the problems we've had especially with the stadium is not necessarally our fault. Most have been from our inept, useless, cas loving council.

Would we still be in the same position if thornes park would have gone through?????

Can't argue with that, tried but it did not work

The problem I have with the whole process is the competition is supposed to be related to sport, the way the RFL are going we might as well called it the ESL (Expansion & Stadium League). No one on here will try to defend the facilities at Belle Vue, but Wakey have advanced in a number of the other areas such as community development, youth development, contributing to the competition, all things that should carry more weight than a stadium.

I have no probelm with Widnes coming in, but there are clubs that should be ahead of Wakey and Cas when it comes to the chop. I have got to the stage now, where I think the RFL have already decided its Wakey who are going out, and thats why a number of other clubs supposedly in danger are handing out three year contracts. I just hope everyone who is saying kick us out, is happy when one or both of Quins/Crusaders go bust or have to be bailed out by the RFL and when the only publicity Salford attract by being near the Media City is reports of the pointlessness of a brand new stadium with 3,500 rattling around in it most weeks.

it was a wakefield fan that told me this,it is not my personal belief
he is down in the dumps and fearing the worst obviously

Fair enough. A straight shoot out between us and Cas, with Barrow to come up. Widnes seem to be doing quite nicely in the Championship as Warrington's feeder club, and SL expansion into Cumbria once again is long overdue. Barrow have contributed a lot to the Championship, have an ambitious owner, and are miles away from their nearest rivals. I don't mind Barrow. Good luck to them.

well tell him to pick himself up dust himself off and start all over again, the sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar, come what may, because we are going top keep right on to the end of the road, and there will be bluebirds over the white shirts of wakey, tomorrow, just you wait and see.

this gear is good, want some?

I'd like to see Barrow given a chance. I know their ground isnt great but give them 3 years in super league which will hopefully attract sponsorship/investors.

11 years in which sharing with Ossett Town, Thornes Park and Newmarket have all been mooted, and for most of those 11 years, nothing. If Belle Vue is what holds us back, we have only ourselves to blame.

wouldn't that be ironic, jamie rooney playing super league for barrow..why do widnes think they should get in? beyond me ! taught a lesson by batley

and another thing..we keep hearing bits of this and bits of that from SWAG and the club..why was the outline planning permisssion put back until september from july? Do these people really know what's going on? WHAT REALLY IS GOING ON? i am getting cheesed off with everything about the club..NOT the playing or coaching, just the way that the club is run. We will still go watch wakey in the NL if that is where we end up but we really need now to start sending out positives and tell it as it is..ARE WE LIKELY TO GET A GROUND? let's be more professional please and start attacking the cas claims about their destiny! all of these replies of "just wait

" etc .. don't post if you know nothing MR SWAG..stop giving us false hopes, we are sick of it!!

Maybe just maybe the club would love to come out and say what they are doing but can't for obvious reasons. I'm like you not happy about it but not a lot I can do about it.

What will be will be but I still think this franchise stuff will come back and haunt a few clubs spending money they haven't got trying to keep the RFL happy.
