I know its july but not shure of the date.
Gona be very interesting this time around for us widnes fans.
A complete different contrast to last time

Been reading about and no one seems to know, lol. Looks like maybe 26th July though.

i had completely forgotten about this

all that matters is WE ARE SUPERLEAGUE!

Will be an interesting period when it's announced and I can't help but feel that whoever does get left out the league will compare themselves to us and have a go. Hope not but if so I hope people don't take the bate, nothing to do with us!

If that's the case me old china then I'd just like to say in advance (to those people):

FUCK OFF!

i am stockpiling small arms and precision guided missile systems as we speak, for my troll defence system

"what date are the other licences handed out ?"

it's not taken you long to 'master' how to talk "SOOPER DOOPER LEAGUE" POO !!!!

What have you been calling them then, the holy grail?

They have more chance of discovering the holy grail than getting a SL license any time soon.

Indeed, good reply Chris - J20 - SOD OFF !

A bit like the majority of Vikings re: Celtic Crusaders. Just try not to bite when Wakey supporters come on here and have a go.

As they surely will , they will be in the wrong , but that is human nature when the rules you are playing to are not as clear cut as we would like

I doubt many will. Most Wakey fans think Widnes deserve thier place in SL.
Certainly wont be Widnes fault if we do go down.

Nope, Its your own clubs fault for the lack of infrastructure and desire to remain in superleague, both you and Cas have rested on their laurels for 2 long now, With super League clubs having 2 votes on things and keeping championship clubs out of the trough i hope you reap what you have sewn for so long. Voting to not expand to 16 teams has biten whoever comes down on the ass well and truly.

Clubs who have done everything asked like Widnes and Fax should rightfully be rewarded so.....However we will see what happens, Good luck to widnes next year, it will be a hard slog at first but will get there and adjust accordingly. If only Widnes go up at least one of the SL greedy S.O.B's will have a big time realisation check with absolutly no sympathy from many Championship clubs or fans.

WOW. that chip on your shoulder must really be a struggle to carry all day everyday

Not really, I will feel for the Fans of the clubs of course i will, all they do is spend their hard earned money on something they love and believe in, Just like you and me and the thoussands of fans out their, but for the clubs and BOD themselves, i will feel nothing at all. Tuff turkey.

The thing with Fax's bid against the others is a lot of that was also last minute (finances published?) and still require stadium improvements as well with defunct North Stand. Cas could be in brand new facility by 2013 as all signed off.

If we are saying it's 14 with Wakey dropping (going with general consensus) do Fax offer more than Cas right now and within 3 years? My guess would be no. If it wasn't for Salford city council taking full control of Barton project then Fax for Salford could have happened! All IMO of course and I'd like to see Fax up if could get youth up and running fully etc.

Except Part of the franchise criterea was that you have to be in the stadia from the start of the 2012 season which means CAS are nowhere near this happening. Fax's Finances have been published and we met that criterea.

Wrong.

The wording was show advancement in the stadium projects and well moving on from nothing to full planning permission and earth being moved on the site is a pretty big advancement



And how people think the Shay is better than Wheldon Road anyway I don't get at all woo you have one new stand...but another that has been condemned, fantastic modern stadia that



14 teams, Wakey gone and as we all already know Widnes in.

Its madness in the extreme to think castleford will be in a new stadium anytime soon.

I think we all know that both Wakefield and Castleford have been stringing the RFL along for some years regarding their facilities. I appreciate that it isn't easy but when you're dealing with teams being kept out of the top flight indefinitely you can't be too precious about the difficulties of those experienced in the top flight.

I wont believe any stadium of theirs until they've built it. They've made so many promises and press releases and drawings that the impact made by any such things has long since been lost. We're not dealing with serious proposals half the time.

Though when done it will be 100% theirs at least and all their own work. Wakey & Salford been lying a long and they aren't even paying for it nor had any chance to pay for one either!

When done? Mate they haven't got any of the funding for it last I heard. It's not happening. Their arguments about it, like I've already said elsewhere, are like two people arguing over which of their imaginary friends has the best hairstyle.

You are wrong fella, and you damn well know it, taken directly from the RFL site

How are clubs planning new or redeveloped stadia going to be assessed?

New stadiums or redevelopments of existing stadiums will only be taken into account if the RFL is satisfied that the stadium will be open or the redevelopment finished by the start of the 2012 season.

You have more chance of platting fog and considering this is what the Independant Board had to say on your bid last time.

Whilst well maintained, the ground is limited and old fashioned. However, the club recognise this and has relatively advanced plans for a new stadium.[size=150 Financial projections are based on the new ground[/size, although there is evidence of a Plan B. The club is well managed financially with limited external borrowings and/or shareholder funds. The club has produced a holistic commercial plan, has a record of commercial achievement and achieves strong support even when relegated. The club’s reasonable playing infrastructure has been hurt by the yo-yo-ing between Super League and National League. The club has maintained youth pathways but has not always been able to secure the best local talent

So you got in last time based on having advanced plans that have gone nowhere, You Financial projections have been based on 3 years of lies as you have not gone into this reletively advanced stadium.

Now go away until you can come up with some valid argument.

, You cannot be serious
