Licences were introduced to remove the pressure of relegation so there was no need to spend up to the cap or buy so many overrated aussies, you could of spent on improving facilities but didnt. Some of those clubs in the championship have worked wonders on the pittance they have recieved, take Batley for instance built 2 stands on mediocre crowds. Some super league clubs have criminally squandered millions and have nothing to show for it

Which we have done neither.



We've lived within our means.

And own our ground unlike many others whom have sold their silver,

It's like having your house as an investment. It only pays when you die.





One thing to come out of all of it is that we will remain as two distinct and separate clubs, rather than the entity that other fans seem to want to push us toward. An upgraded Wheldon Road will be a great ground and keep your presence in the town. Just put a roof on for the away fans behind the sticks. Please. We did, for you. Oh, hang on, that was for us. Go North, or something.



Anyway, as Bazzo said on our forum, the war is over. Long live the battles.

I'll drink to that.

And thats got you where exactly? Its not worth anything to get you a move to a new ground, you've lost a million quid in three years and now you are going to have to pay to develop it, WOOHOO!!!

For Christ's sake man; give your head a shake.

Grasp the future, and stop trying to cling to hollow (well vacuous) victories from the past!!!

Look at the successful clubs, how many actually own their grounds (or silver to you)?

Well, we do struggle against Fev, but we can beat Barrow :O)



Franchising has killed the game below SL, ask any Championship supporter. Leigh are a club run within their means now, unlike quite a few SL clubs. I hate to think what would happen if SKY ever pulled the plug on SL clubs.



As for Cas, you will just be playing a run of friendly games again because you are never going to win anything, not even a Challenge Cup game against a Championship club. At least we have a chance for 2 Mickey Mouse cups.



RL is cr4p now, couldn't give a t0$$ about it.

How about approaching Aldi to build a bigger store? they're profits are soaring and they're building new stores throughout the UK, it's worth a shot if Tesco are no longer interested







How about turning the ground 90 degrees same as what Fev are doing? There is more than enough land, although this may cost the same as all the existing would need to be knocked down.







As far as I can see so has every other club in the league - we announced losses of nearly 300k a year, which is less than most of the SL clubs. So over a 3 year period I would imagine that the rest have lost around that much as well??

Franchising killed the game for everyone not just Championship clubs

We lost 125 grand last year. Hull FC lost 500 grand. Don't know what Wakey's figures are but i'm certain Glover is putting a lot in with the hope of getting it back over time. The £125 season ticket offer is great at Wakey but is done for a purpose - to get fans on board for the long term and then put ST prices up to the realistic norm once they are staying.

I'm not sure what losses the other SL clubs have made except the Bulls (obviously).

As far as I seem to remember when all clubs make finance announcements for the year there are always losses at each club
