No. You don't. But why would anything change now? We have gone for months without been told anything.

Well yeah, we don't get to vote on our own SL future I don't think

Do we know this is the dreaded "vote off" though?
Suppose it's the only thing it can be...at such short notice.

Lets hope once and for all the FULL details of the meeting are available for all to see.

Asim-- I think the statement about £1.5 million for the ground is a little bit more substantial than:
"they can leak little things out through certain people which pins the blame on the RFL "
All the RFL have to do is rebut the claim if it's not true--now it is in the open they are not prevented from doing so by any "commercial in confidence".
And I am not in the camp of those who you say are "happy to unquestionably go along with it ". I have plenty of questions but yes ,I am happy that one of the main players in the negotiations has made a statement about one of the key elements and alleged sticking points.
Still no comment from Solly or Wood let alone a rebuttal.
If either are on Boots n All tonight I just hope the interviewers ask the type of questions we are all asking and is not content with the type of managerial claptrap Mr Wood came out with last week regarding the Review paper.

There's a rumour on the corner, but it´s always been denied
Cause they don´t want you any wiser, you´re just toeing the party line

Look out for those who still want to hang on, look out for those who live in the past,
Get out and listen to the whisper, because the times are changing fast

From the west side to the east side, from the north side to the south
You´ll never get bad information, if you believe in the word of mouth

Lilly Livered RFL will only say the rest of the teams voted us out, they need to grow some and make fair and honest decisions for the right reasons even if they relegate us.

Or, you just might be totally wrong?

We'll just have to wait and see.

Did the other clubs get to vote on Wakefield's future? Or is this another new RFL initiative?

They've allowed a figure to become public with no information about how they intend to find the money or any detail regarding the timescale of making the payment. I don't think that can be regarded as being substantial at all.

Yeah, we'll have to wait and see, no doubt, but the distinct impression I have is that we're being pushed out of the back door, down the steps and into the street. With a modicum of goodwill on both sides this would have been sorted by now and if I'm honest I believe the RFL are dragging it out to ensure we complete the fixtures and will then deliver their already decided coupe de grâce.

Where the administrator and our biggest shareholder fit into all this I just don't know.

Rules have changed since then.
