| Quote rollin thunder="rollin thunder"But None of them have a team trying to play in Super League, and leeds is not a Pit Village is it. And I do not live in Leeds I live in a former pit town. The Wakefield met cannon sustain its two current teams properly as it is, never mind a 3rd. Its Ridiculous to even consider Fev, or Leigh. Bradford or Toulouse all the way, maybe Widnes, in fact any Uk side that has not won the World Club Championship needs not apply.'"
Then on that account Wakefield isn't a lot village it's not even a town it's a city and has never had a pit with its name to it, grow up will you and stop this consultant ranting about pits when it's not relevant to its past now |

| Quote wrencat1873="wrencat1873"Most interestingly, any "new" SL club is going to start off "behind the 8 ball", in terms of recruitment and if there is to be relegation at the end of next season (depending on the terms of any new TV deal), this could be a poisened chalice.
The chances of the new club getting relegated will increase with every day that goes by before a decision is reached.'"
That's absolutely spot on.
But I would draw people's attention to Mr. Beaumont who has already strengthened his team considerably and then announced to Superleague if they just pick Leigh he'll immediately sink more of his money into his team, with more already lined up decent signings.
I can't think for the life of me it would be fair of Superleague to just say OK thanks Degsy your in...
So they have had to open up the opportunity to others. We know that Mark Campbell can't afford it. We know Toulouse have stepped forward but again I don't know if they have any more money than Fev. To date I don't think Bulls, Widnes, York or Newcastle have gone public to say they want that place ......... Have London?? |

| Quote Donnyman="Donnyman"Wakefield Met as an area does sustain Castleford and Wakefield because both clubs have benefactors on top of their fans and sponsors to make up the losses to be able to (just about) hit the standards for Superleague. As a local governing body AFAIK Wakefield Met do nothing for Cas and Wakey, but both clubs have spent most of the last 24 years in Superleague regardless.
As for Mark Campbell didn't he do a fantastic job with the ground and preparing Fev for Superleague before unveiling Faisal Nahaboo as the clubs most important addition along with Faisal's wallet?? IIRC Nahaboo took fright when Fev were on the cusp of SL and as a result Fev became Leeds "A".......
I don't blame Mr. Campbell for showing ambition to the Fev fans, when Fev aren't accepted he can blame Superleague. IF Fev were accepted that may give Mr. C a big shock unless he's found a few £Million to back his ambitions this time.'"
I think someone's fearing being turned over by a little old pit village  |

Hope the listing of Leeds pits helped. I can give you another 20.....
The beauty of Wakefield is that no decent soccer club has ever come along to the city, and Rugby Union in the city declined to Sandal.
The catch 22 is that they don't have Simon Moran and a benevolent local council to build the stadia and purchase the top players.
It's sadly the luck of the draw. David and Carol Martin won £66Million on the Lottery once, would you like to start getting tickets every week, it sounds just about enough to build the stadium, fill it with over 10,000 fans (I was in such a crowd against CAS) and buy in a winning side.
Let me know if you do and win it can I be your CEO? |

| Quote Big Jim Slade="Big Jim Slade"It should be either Toronto or Hull KR should also be kicked out for failing to complete the season, consistency would be nice.
From this list London or Tolouse and they should be exempt from relegation for 2-3 seasons. If we don't want the game to die we have to help it grow. Sorry for Leigh/Fev/whoever but it's getting very close to crunch time.'"
If you want consistency in that, are we kicking Catalan out as well? Even without completing there final 3 fixtures due to COVID, they have still managed to fulfil 4 more fixtures than Catalan? |

It would be worth 10 minutes of your time to see just what happened to Wakefield RU Club

Yep, and the fairly tale of Little old Fev being in The top league punching above their weight is over and not relevant, and Fev is a small former pit village whether you like it or not, that at very best will offer 4k crowds. The Bulls 10-12k + Toulouse 8-10k plus
Its a fantasy pipe dream. Leigh have been in SL twice and both times easily relegated in first year. The game needs to move on and gave the biggest supported teams back at the top table. |

I don’t know why people are bringing up Wakefield the Team/city itself they are in super league. The district is a small district and does the game need another SL team in this small geographic area? No if Fev deserve a shot then it should be at the expense of one of the other clubs in the district, my bet would be replace Trinity with Fev. |

No! I am deliberately being ridiculous, being tongue in cheek, being silly to try to just lighten the mood a bit.
But I stand by the point that Super League needs the biggest potential club for the 12th Spot, that will not be Fev or Leigh or even Widnes, it won’t be outpost club York or Newcastle (not this time anyway), It will be Toulouse or Bradford, and if Sky have an input maybe even London, but i doubt that.
Even traditionalists surely must realise that the game as a whole needs this not teams that at the very best will attract 4-5k and thats boosted by the big boys coming to town and a couple of local derbies. |
