I can't speak for everyone but personally I can talk sense with normals such as yourself until the cows come home. Its rabid "Bradford should get 6 points" probably with "end of" tagged on as if to emphasize the biggotry that really get on my moobs.
I'll be perfectly honest I have severe doubts that your point 1 ever happened. Tricky this because I'm not accusing anyone of being dishonest. It feels like an understandable exaggeration made to you poor Wakey fans wondering what the hell is going on, and said in a bid to reinforce how close you came to oblivion. Perhaps a bit of white charger in there?
We can't really know what happened because the RFL are hardly like to call him out and say "er we said nothing of the sort" and nor is he going to say "Yeah I exaggerated a little bit but it seemed plausible at the time".
How about a brand new option of a 4 point deduction and full Sky money. Still up against it but not totally screwed over?
The lack of clarity and perception of un-fairness felt by many wakefield fans that are the main problems here.
I've seen the winding up petition dated the 16th of Jan 10:30 am against OK Bulls, i am also led to believe that the OK Bulls went into admin before the takeover by the new owners. On paper at least that look fairly obvious to me where the blame lies and that the RFL have rules in place to deal with that. I have asked our chairman to clarify what was told to us in relation to our problems earlier on and as yet i have had no feedback.
The problem with this, and with various other issues that have occured in recent years is that the RFL appear to act in a very cloak and dagger manner and this causes confusion and mistrust.
Where there is a info vaccuum, people make up what they want - but in some cases that is based on what is fairly obvious - but amid all the murk and confusion it all fades into one big pile of blurge!!!
I know what i can see, i don't know how accurate a reflection of what actually happened it is though, but i am left feeling uneasy not only by (and about) the RFL, but also how much of a fair game we are actually playing here.
I have a well used saying when anything about the leaders of our game comes to the surface and its based on years of feeling like a second class supporter of a second class club, but... "i am not paranoid BUT where the rfl are concerned, i do go and check that there isn't anyone hiding in the bushes at the bottom of the garden".
