You can't let some daft ruling around money stop you supporting your team.
Doubt the Bulls budgeted for this income; so it doesn't really matter anyway!!

Hmmm, bet they did, if you hadn't made the top 4 it would've been a disaster. |

Geoffrey would stiffen up their defence but the game would go on for five days and end up 0-0.
I will still be going.
I presume the gate is shared or do you keep your own takings?

Would have thought you keep all gate if your a home side tbh. Another incentive for getting extra home game |

| Quote Maccbull_BigBullyBooaza="Maccbull_BigBullyBooaza"Superleague clubs chosen to host Sky Sports matches get 20K in compensation. As if you didn't need anymore proof of the disparity of competition in middle 8's Championship clubs get 0.
Derek is kicking off about it and understandably so given that Leigh have been chosen to host two of them.
Personally in view of this I'm not going to go to that soon to be derelict tip at Wankfield. For two reasons.
1. Given we've only been picked to play in one its our only chance to show support for the other Championship clubs affected by this.
2. As wakefield fans are quick to point out. Everyone should be treated fairly so not putting another penny in on top of the 20k they're already getting to gamble on staying up again.
It was bad enough when we had to compete with clubs taking half our sky money.
It might seem petty given it doesn't affect us as we aren't hosting any but because it's them I'm not going.'"
Fine! We won't miss you and your chip on your shoulder and it looks like Bulls fans won't either. |

I wonder how many realise that the original Middle 8s ranking had team 6 (which was Wakefield at that time, as it is now.
because they were unlikely to finish above last in SL) playing team 4 (Bulls) as an away fixture, and also Hull KR as an away fixture. The new one in tablets of stone is a home fixture against both Hull KR and the Bulls, plus I m told now that not only do Wakey get at least 2 plum home fixtures, but a £20k SKY payment! And who believes the statement that each team put £80k into a pot for eventual compensation if they got a SKY game. Is that the pot Mr Carter said they hadn't got to perform a bodily function in at the start and mid season??? Wonders will never cease?

We all said at the midway point of the season that 2nd place was arguably the more preferable finishing position. Logically that should never be the case, otherwise it would be a clear flaw in the system. So the changes made by the RFL were justified imo.
And as far as I'm aware, the £80k put in by all SL clubs was done at the start of the season, so it would simply have been deducted from their central funding. So the referral to Michael Carter's comments doesn't really apply - they never had the £80k to start with.

Well I am so convinced with your arguement that I wonder where the £960k is sitting at this moment, not sure what you mean! Because logicaly the changes only affect Wakefield postionally in the middle 8 matrix, with other teams having to bend their fixtures.Believe me if you compared the matrix it looks highly suspicious to a cynic like what I am.
Are you saying that the RFL agreed that this was changed because of your reasoning?
Perhaps you could mention it to whoever decided to change it, and I suppose Mr Carter never said they were on the financial brink??? |
