Could be over for Wakey, plans have been called in

I expect they'll just announce a move to Barnsley for the interim won't they?

Almost inevitably, I wonder what the RFL would make of that though.

Smae as Saints playing out of Widnes isn't it?





Curtains for Wakey now, welcome to The Championship.

Hull Kingston Australians? Am I right? Do I win a prize?

No, not the same as Saints at all. Saints have passed the criteria for a license in nearly every way other than stadium. Wakefield haven't.



Will Wakefield be able to make accurate projections for an application out of Oakwell? How will they know what kind of crowds to expect (considering they are likely to be there for most of the next license period)?

Let's be honest though, the KC Stadium is really for Hull City and the rugby team have managed to get a new ground on the back of that. So Wakefield at Oakwell would only be the same.

I'm sorry but it wouldn't be the same at all.

The KC stadium is slap bang in the middle of Hull FC's core support infact it is less that 1 mile away from their previous home, It was built with both Hull FC and Hull City in mind.

Neither of those points are in anway relevent to Wakey playing out of Barnsley.

The KC could operate without Hull FC. It couldn't without Hull City.

I wasn't aware that applications had been handed in. I wasn't aware that you'd read the said applications either. Unless of course you are saying that the whole process is a complete waste of time and that the RFL have picked their teams already?

Touche' ,





Dont you just love it when they forget themselves and give the game away

Is oakwell 20 miles from all other RL grounds? Could be a cunning ploy to get two extra franchise points
