I know it probably seems like it now but championship rugby isn't the end of the world. It would be a step down for you clearly but it is a great competition right now and you would be the 'big' club in the competition.

Champioship rugby is a meaningless competition and a total joke. Sport needs P and R otherwise its nothing more than a sham like wrestling. Like I've said before the RFL can shove their championship RL up their Harris I would sooner follow Rugby Union at least in the sport they still have P and R.

Might as well play at Collage Grove if/when the club get booted out. Of course Wakefield FC are unlikely to want Trinity there do to the bad feeling between the two when they shared BV.

Exactly Mat,i could even call for Sunday dinner at my mums!!!!

Any ideas people have of playing out of Oakwell if not in super league are quite simply not deliverable!!!
No super league = no Wakefield Trinity

I still do not see this 'untapped' potential in Barnsley. It's football first, cricket second and everything else is irrelevant. Unless 'Barnsley' is in the name, why would the most parochial people on earth watch Wakefield?

Can't agree with you there squire, there is far more Wakey fans in Sth yorks than what you think and fwiw I would hold off pooring scorn over this untapped potential you are convinced does not exist in that area. Those what live in the south of the city would also find that Oakwell is just as easy to get to as Newmarket would be and I am sure would tolerate the upheaval of going there for one season if that were the case. As for not generating income I am sure that some sort of deal could be agreed with Patrick Cryne and Barnsley MBC if a 12 month deal for the ground was sorted out where by both parties could be satisfied financially.

I dont want Wakey trin to cease operating, if you lost out on SL where could you play??

College Grove is a decent little stadium, how many will it hold though?

What about Osset Trinity?

FWIW I hope you do get sorted out and get another franchise, same for us aswel, the superleague would be a much duller place without either of us in there

Eric Pickles announced this YESTERDAY LOL...

Today we unveiled radical new reforms that will mark an end to the hoarding of power within central government and hand control back to individuals, communities and councils.

For the first time, we will establish powerful new rights for communities, revolutionise the planning system, and give local neighbourhoods control over housing decisions.

Under Labour, central government became too big, too interfering, too controlling and too bureaucratic. But we will push power downwards and outwards to the lowest possible level.

Under Labour, council tax more than doubled. But we will freeze council tax, abolish Labour’s bin taxes and give local residents new powers to veto future excessive council tax rises.

Our plans also include:

•Putting local communities in charge of the look and feel of their locality through a new system of neighbourhood planning
•Freezing council tax for 2011-12 and protecting you, the taxpayer, from Labour’s planned tax hikes
•Giving local groups new rights to protect their local shops, pubs, libraries and leisure centres through a Community Right to Buy
•Freeing councils from bureaucracy by giving them more freedoms and flexibilities to act in the best interests of their area
It’s time to put local decision-making back in the hands of local people.

Are you serious? Have you seen what is happening in SL at the moment? Crusaders with a new name, company, staff every 5 minutes. Clubs in debt all through the league. Teams trying every which way to get around the salary cap and the overseas quota. Clubs lying/exaggerating about stadiums and everyone sucking up to the RFL to try and stay in SL. The focus is more about what is going on off the pitch than what is happening on it.

And you say the CHAMPIONSHIPS are a joke?

Seriously mate, I hope you do get your stadium sorted and hope you DO stay in SL as I like wakey. But if you take an outside view of SL and all the petty point scoring, bullsh*tting and outright lies told by both the clubs and the RFL then it is SL that looks like a joke. The championship fans (with maybe widnes excepted) are looking forward to one thing and one thing only... A bloody good season of Rugby League. Surely that is what it SHOULD be about and not all this franchise/licensing b*llocks?

If you don't want to watch Wakey outside of Super League then thats up to you, but you are doing a huge disservice to the Championship by writing it off as a joke.

Developments that border different communities will obviously be more problematic. However, that shouldn't detract from the fact that this NIMBYs charter that Pickles is proposing is simply a means of bribing poor communities into accepting developments that the Tory-loving rich would turn their noses up at. Don't buy into this "localism" bollox. The only people it favours are the ones who have already won the first round of this sorry contest.

Erm, the Championship does have Promotion and Relegation - the Championship is the top division of that system.

Re: Disappointed isn't the word!!! : Tue Dec 14, 2010 3:23 pm  

From the RFL's point of view, would you let either us or Cas in based on any promises we make for the future? They have done that before remember.
While they have said 1 to definately go, i dont see why both us and Cas wont go as I think this news brings Halifax right into the mix for a place.

Im waiting for the M word to be raised again?? Having said that, where would we play? Neither of us seem to be able to sort it.
