What he said.











And again.

if the rumour is true then i'd presume the RFL money will be secured via the sale of The Racecourse Ground

how they don't own it as far as I can tell, I thought they were renting, both them and Wrexham Town

Pev, the RFL are holding a charge against the Racecourse Ground for the amount of money that they pumped into them last year - effectively a mortgage.

that's what i understood. the rumour is that the ground is to be sold which is actually a good outcome for the RFL from a straight 'getting our money' back perspective. if things were to plod along then it'd be hard to get the money out.



in fact thinking about it, I know the RFL are being slated all over the place but how they managed that transaction shows how professional they are in many of the things they do. They ensured that the money could not be 'sunk' and that there was a way of getting it back if the proverbial hit the fan...



ps. not sure Crusaders will be able to put a team out at weekend if the mood on twitter is anything to go by! players outright attacking the club and the management!

It seemed very strange annoucing who was succesful in July instead of September when the season is over, but thats the RFL for you, as for the charge on the ground I am sure I read an article on the racecourse ground in WSC which debated the ownership of the ground and mentioned the Crusaders in the article and the rent they owed, i will dig it out. www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/6501/38/ PS Halifax are not happy www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 87,00.html

so cas wakefield & hull kr get away with having a crap hole of a ground for the next 2-3 years again the,ll soon be more excuses from them why they cant modernise their stadiums . more fiction than Enid blyton.

I thought I read that Hull KR's ground improvements were underway?

No need to lump the mighty HKR in with all your "Grade C" rabble!



Considering its taken your good selves nine years of false promises to finally get to where you are, lets not talk about fiction.

Delighted Crusaders have gone, they should never have been given a licence in the first place. One home match with no atmosphere gone, to be replaced by a lively encounter with Widnes. GREAT! Hopefully, that other complete waste of time, known currently as Harlequins will get the boot or fold next time. Come on Leigh / Fax etc.

It's amazing how arrogant fans become when your club has a new stadium in the works. Cas might not have the best stadium however building will commence once PP has been secured for Wheldon Road.



Also it's not all about the facilities, Cas have given more to SL over the last 3 years than Salford. A better youth setup, league positions and currently a cup run.

Anyone else see the irony?
