I have seen a lot of support actually on even Super League forum's. they can see what we are saying with this. the fact is Wakefield didnt keep there promises from the last franchise application and we did thats what should count and it hasnt done

They were never going to be happy after we stole their coach.

From what I've seen a lot think Fax should have been given a chance. Especially Bullas and Rhinos supporters. A few Saints, Wigan and Wire too.

As a Leigh fan having gone through the same thing 3 years ago I have sympathy for Halifax.
We know what the licence process involves - mostly disappointment, bewilderment and having to listen to the BS from the RFL.

On the other hand, whether its Wakefield or Halifax in the Championship doesn't make much difference to us.

Fans of Championship clubs should be particularly disappointed that you didn't get a franchise, because of the message it sends to all heartland clubs about chances of ever being allowed into SL

That's the worry for every other team, also, next time round the Welsh will probably try again and we know what the outcome of that will be so where do we all go from here.
Next Leigh will probably have a strong bid, finances permitting, but if they get their act together like us and do it without a big money man then what chance will they have?
