So are they trying to tell us that had Crusaders not withdrawn their application they would have got the chop anyway? Doubt that very much. If as everyone expected, Wakefield would have been relegated, then Crusaders decision should not have changed this. Absolute farce!

cant wait to go to the CC final now! roll of eyes!

RFL are a complete joke.

we should have stayed at Thrum Hall......

Crusaders OUT,12 CLANDESTINES playing for them next year,winning everyyhing next year,2013 back in SL takeing the place of Widnes. Only the RFL could make this up.

I'm done with rl. There's no way I'm abusing my mate at the rfl's free ticket hospitality any longer. I'm not investing in this legalized facism any longer

I could well be done with paying to watch professional RL after this shambles.

Number of clubs who have had license removed by the RFL since franchising started = 0

League extended to accommodate all existing clubs + 2 new ones originally, and now 1 team withdrew and replaced with another. Therefore RFL never had to boot anyone out so don't give us a load of BS about what a 'tough decision' it is.

Re: WTF! : Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:52 am  

Absolute disgrace. Everyone should fire off an email to the RFL. I will be doing when home from work.

I am afraid the only chance of me starting to regularly follow Fax was if they managed to get back into SL. I love RL as a game, but if there is no chance of promotion then there is no interest for me.

Commiserations to all Fax fans, I thought you deserved your place in SL.

I would love to know how the business department at Leeds University managed to find that a club in administration was a better financial prospect than one that was not. Not sure they'd get a pass on thier dissertation for that if they were entering it for a degree. What a complete shambles this whole franchising system is.

I can't beleive in his speach he patted himself on the back for how franchising was helping the clubs, yet since franchising has been introduced, three clubs in Super League have entered administration and still remain there. The one thing that franchises are supposed to stop. Well done sir!

Thats me done with the sport. I want to watch a vibrant and meaningful sport where my club as a chance of success / promotion. This decision sadly provides prrof that the RFL will NEVER give us a license. I can no longer pay to watch a meaningless league. Pains me enormously but my back is turned on RL forever after today. I'll see the season out but thats it.
