If their application had been better than the other championship application, there wouldn't be this discussion.

And you called it last night, and so I'll have that.

I agree they are in Superleague on merit, as the RFL deemed that the application was worthy of a C grade and granted a licence for 2012 - 2015



Doesnt mean we cant be p155ed at the RFL.



Now you need to get on and keep the licence, we need traditional heartland yorkshire clubs.

Spanish i think you'll find most Wakefield fans are sympathetic of Fax's situation and we more than most of current SL sides know what it's like to feel your not wanted and fear for your clubs future.



However, your chairman would have been better if he had left Wakefield out of his outburst. Unfortunately any potential constructive criticism of the process and where Fax and the RFL go now will always been perceived as sour grapes towards Wakefield when in reality we've nothing to do with your exclusion

We don't have sour grapes towards you, it's the RFL who are bang out of order, they set guide lines 3 years ago what you could not keep (not all your fault) but as halifax stuck to these guide lines then why havent we took your place



Widnes didn't get into super league 3 years ago because they had just been in adnimistration - this was your problem this year so when and how did they change the rules?

When Crusaders went into admin

Unfortunately i think you have your information incorrect. The administration rule was removed after the Crusaders fiasco and the franchise period was for 2008-2010 as stated with the Q & A by the RFL prior to the release of the franchise names. And Wakefield went into administration in 2011



This shouldn't be about Wakefield. The Halifax chairman should stick to talking about Halifax and how they can move forward. Unfortunately his little outburst will probably harm their relationship with the RFL

I am not sure it can harm relationships, the RFL dont give a flying fig about the championship clubs, their franchising system is squeezing the life out of them...

Haveing read the "OUTRAGEOUS OUTBURST" by our Chairman several times.I can find NO mention of any team called Wakefield in any of his so called rambleings.However if your posters think it applies to your team, well ,you to must feel guilty at the actions of the RFL thats all I can say. Enjoy SL you deserve it.

He's mentioned Wakefield in every interview i've heard, and even compared The Shay to Belle Vue. Apparently a two year old could've pointed out Halifax's bid was better than Wakefield's. I suggest you listen again.

As previously said, were sympathetic of your situation and i think when polled previously on here most wanted Fax in SL and to be expanded. That said, Wakefield shouldn't be potrayed as the reason Halifax didn't get a license and we people shouldn't vent their anger towards us.
