You did get up fair and square, although the RFL did move the goalposts following your promotion, so that future relegated teams lost the luxury of the parachute payment you received (which obviously helped you a great deal). The loss of the payment made it extremely difficult for relegated teams after that, so Huddersfield have had more help than most as far as Superleague is concerned, lucky you!

I didn't know Joel Monaghan had signed for Cas ? , thats his picture in your avatar isn't it

Question is........do you want to watch your club (possibly not in SL) or do you just want to watch SL?

Bob on. The irony of 'us' banging on about 'fat cats' and 'Sky money' and 'Super League isn't the be all and end all' - yet if the club finds itself out of SL, some of 'us' won't go watch them!

The club has been around since 1873, great from 1958-68. good at other times, garbage for many years. That there is a Wakefield Trinity still around is more important, whether that is playing Super League, Championship or Conference!

I'm no big Shudds fan but I have to agree that they are now in fair and square.
Perhaps what the original comment refers to is Shudds elevation and maintenance for a lengthy period in Super League giving them an elevated position to achieve what they eventually got???

That was indeed my point.

I wish you all and trinity the best I am a Leeds Loiners fan but most of my youth was a argument between my dad taking me to Leeds games and my grandad ( was a massive trinity fan) taking me to see trinity. My dad won, but I have great memories, and may grandad would be mortified had he still been here.

All the best and if there is anything where help
is needed from league fans please make a post would be glad to try and help. (sadly I don't have a spare grand before someone asks!)

Has any one thought that a potential new chairman/board might be waiting for the club to go bust so they can buy it for nothing?

Re: So what is the situation : Thu Jan 20, 2011 3:14 pm  

No, I don't think anyone has!

Re: So what is the situation : Thu Jan 20, 2011 3:29 pm  

I think the biggest problem you (or cas) if you go down is the fact that rugby league clubs in the games heartlands are no longer as desirable as some fly by night operation in some far flung corner of the uk and re-entry to superleague will be a definate non starter. I fear that if cas (or wakey) survive in superleague , then its only a 3 year stay of execution till they (RFL) come looking for another club to drop to suit the aforementioned fly by nights

The game as a sport is fooked

explain!!!! we did not go down due to the winners of the nl1 not having good enough ground/ criteria for 3 years.. we go down and come up as unbeaten champions...

It was utter bull back then and nothing has changed since

Amazing though shudds managed to go bust finish, bottom 3 years in a row but some how were give the Sheffield team to chop up as they saw fit, cash and were allowed double the amount of aussies

Forgive me for still being upset about this but do you think Wakefield will get the same treatment if we'd finished bottom 3 times in a row and gone bust?

Thats right we wouldn't
