Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. Who needs flankers' grammar was actually correct.
Not looking good for them, i hope they can come out of the other side of this as we really need a welsh team in sl (though a stronger one with welsh players is whats really needed) wont make any differance to us though even with us having better crowds, youth, finances and higher average league finish the rfl would still choose them over us.
Might come in handy if they have players jumping ship though, wouldnt mind witt, scitofscke (sp) lupton, kear, o'hara or hanbury.
We aren't allowed 20 aussies like some other teams though, mind you Hull KR aren't far off!

This is what worries me. There's a chance they may be allowed to keep their place at our expense next year and the thought of that is just absolutely scandalous.
Rumour is that the RL have contacted all SL clubs advising that Crusaders will go into administration. RL want SL clubs to allow this to happen on the understanding that Crusaders will be allowed to continue in SL next season and be given a guarantee of a 3 year licence from 2012.
Clubs not happy and are demanding an EGM
Just seen something similar on the Wakey forum. Does anyone know what the voting requirements are? Does it have to be unanimous?

"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League"

I sent the following mail to the RFL and mr Blake Solly yesterday and surprise surprise, they have forgotten to answer. If anyone else would like to have a go at emailing red hall, the addresses are........... reception@rfl.uk.com and blake.solly@rfl.uk.com. Blake Solly is the compliance officer at the RFL and should be in a position to answer your emails
good luck
With the news that the Crusaders are going into admin. and a new company is to be formed, does that company have a franchise for next season and which well run club will be stuffed by the RFL at the next round of franchises to make room for this poor business model. If I were the chairman of one of the 'less favoured ' clubs I would already have solicitors looking at this matter. Even the RFL cant say that this is 'openness and fairness' in practise. For the sake of the game get rid of these leeching clubs (crus and quins) and lets get back to being a real sport with promotion and relegation.
As the situation has moved on and the crusaders are looking at reforming as a new company, will they have a franchise for next season ? If so, could you please explain the ruling on that one, because Widnes were not allowed into Superleague because they went into administration. Will the new company have to apply for a franchise at the next round or will they be assured of a place at the top table as the previous crusaders were ?
I await your reply

Prehaps somebody from Red Hall "accidently" hit the delate button

Word on the street is that with Lewis and Wood in Aus,Rimmer is in charge. Rumour is that Rimmer contacted all 13 shareholders of our SL ( ie all the clubs except Crusaders ) and informed them that Crusaders would be going into adminstration, but that a new company was set up to carry on the franchise in Wales, debt free. ( gets rid of the image rights tax bill that all other clubs will have to pay sooner or later ). Rimmer asked for feed back 11 clubs responded in a negative manner ( Leeds and Hull , the two Hetheringtons are guests of RL in Aus ). Rimmer apparently ignored the feed back and is forcing it through. The 11 clubs wanted an EGM, Rimmer apparently refused this request.
I am also told that expansion clubs do not have to re apply for a SL licence so there is no way that Quins, Catalans or Crusaders : in what ever guise, will be refused a licence.
The peasants ( heartland clubs ) are in the mood for revolt.
Am also told that Widnes have attended all SL meetings this year, suggests they have been given the nod.
