SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

If we go out of SL they will never let us back in, simple reason, they do not need us, if any one thinks any different, then they are not right in the head. They wont to expand the game, not have a load of teams from yorkshire in.our gates will be around 1500, that means no money coming in.Sorry but thats the way it will be. I can see SL in time to come with less teams in, like the fat cats taking all the money from sky.


That is the reality of the situation you find yourselves in , to drop down and then push your way back in would require massive investement , you would need Newmarket to be built , you would need to fill it in the Championship , and hope that another heartland SL club implodes as you have done

Toulouse are the next SL club after Widnes , if you had managed to get Newmarket or Thornes park built then either Cas would be on their way out or we would be looking at a 16 team SL next year

What sort of fan base do you think you would/will retain in the Championships ?

The usual format I see; condescending statements of the bleedin' obvious about the 'reality of our situation', described with barely disguised glee, followed by an oblique question. Which, incidentally, you agreed to stop doing.

Exactly how did we end up with you permanently camped on our forum by the way - were you barred from the VT?

Not the ' bleedin obvious ' to a lot of your fans it would seem , many of them , conditioned by a decade of being in the top tier dont seem to understand the realitys of running a SL club or the potential constraints of being a heartland club on the outside of a Franchised SL

Why am I here , bored with the telly , the off season with no RL to watch or talk about , not being able to complain yet again about the antics of Ryan Bailey and Danny Buserus ?

Fed up with the situation yet another heartland club is in with no clear path to a brighter future , I have only ever gone to a SL match other than with Leigh and supported another club , both those occaisions were Wakey v the Pies , one the play off in 2004 [ a guess on the year ] at the JJB , and the other in 2006 at Belle view with our ' NL 1 needs a strong W1g4n ' flag , so sorry if you disagree with my posts or I have struck a nerve , but thats something you'll have to put up with

I'm no big Shudds fan but I have to agree that they are now in fair and square.
Perhaps what the original comment refers to is Shudds elevation and maintenance for a lengthy period in Super League giving them an elevated position to achieve what they eventually got???

Not touching any nerves with me - just getting on my t*ts; one of the dullest and most repetitive posters our plight has attracted thus far, and there's been a few.

Tigers for life!!! Not Just for Superleague!!!

Re: So what is the situation : Wed Jan 19, 2011 11:58 am  
ATEOTD its not a matter of Super League or Championship.

What is the matter is What is best for the club? Sadly at the moment its down to the people incharge who will decide this.

TR and his cronies have brought the club to its knees,they should be thrown as far as they can be.....

I dont hate WTW, i live in the city, drive past the ground everyday on the way to work, i want them to do well, just not aswel as the team i love and support.

Only dull and repetitive because I seem to be answering the same dull and repetitive comments from fans who really should read and think about what they are posting before they do it , shame about your t*ts :wink:

You did get up fair and square, although the RFL did move the goalposts following your promotion, so that future relegated teams lost the luxury of the parachute payment you received (which obviously helped you a great deal). The loss of the payment made it extremely difficult for relegated teams after that, so Huddersfield have had more help than most as far as Superleague is concerned, lucky you!
