It is better to have tried and failed then never to be allowed to try. I would say that the gulf between the divisions in this sport is considerable compared to the Championship and the Premiership for example. Also in some other sports they have parachute payments to protect the dropping club.

If it is all about money, presumably it is cheaper for the RFL not to promote Fax than relegate Wakefield with a 6 figure parachute payment -

Well said Michael. One wonders how much the Clowns at Red Hall have promised Crusaders to get them out of the mire so they can re-apply next time. To allow Wakefield to stay in with their dump of a ground and going into administration just shows how far the Clowns will go to keep Fax out of SL. Re parachute payment how much are they going to give to Crusaders, they are allegedly 700K in the red?

You asked this question How does a team with a squad value of £300k build a new squad for SL in just four months to be able to avoid relegation without gambling massively against their future? Well the RFL were happy for Fax to be in the mix today , and it is quite concievable that they could have got a SL place for next season , only giving them a short amount of time to prepare , if that amount of time is enough , why did they give Widnes more time ?
