RIP Wakefield

[Evil Homer]

The plans for the 'community stadium' which was central to their licence application have collapsed. Not that they ever got off the ground to begin with. They will surely now not be awarded a license in 3 years time.

 

[letsbe avenue]

Surely their best bet would be to share with Castleford?

 

[deluded pom?]

Prob there letsbe is that Cas's new ground is in Castleford. It's not as if it's on the outskirts in the direction of Wakey. Will the fans go? Will Cas let them do it?

 

[joshreading]

Toulouse I tell ya. Mistake not letting them through this time.

 

[stormtragic]

toulouse and widnes will be ready to strike now

 

[bartman]

The Wakey-Cas situation was always going to be the one the league had to resolve for the next move forward, in agreeing an expansion club without necessarily needing to increase the number of teams.

Looks like the stadium planning permission might resolve it for them.

Toulouse for sure for 2012 imo, if they follow the advice they received from their recent application during the next three years.

 

[stormtragic]

maybe RFL should have waited until end of season

 

[roughyedspud]

i've heard the taxman is after wakefield too......

 

[bowes]

Toulouse I tell ya. Mistake not letting them through this time.

Toulouse didn't help themselves though, when they refused to get any kind of decent team in the French League even though playing performance was an area franchises were judged on

 

[Calixte]

They will survive.

Yeah yeah.

 

[KalgoorlieRed]

Mergers should be high on the list!!

But when have the RFL done anything even remotely professional?

I can tell you now that isn't true!

Wakefield Trinity are now one of the most solvent clubs in the SL.

I know the potted history of their finances having been a BIG loser in their CVA action. However they now run a very tight ship in terms of finances and have made a profut in two of the last three years.

Sorry, am I right in reading that a convict is mocking our administration:lol:

 

[Perth Red]

Cas, Wakey and Salford are all on borrowed time unless they get their new grounds built, or at least started, by 2011.
