It's a bit pointless going on about the venue. We always knew it was going to be at the 4th place club.

Don't suppose we'd have complained if we'd have been in 4th (which we could easily have been if we hadn't shipped a boatload of points against Widnes and HKR)

That said, it is a scruffy, tin-pot ground to be hosting such a vital game. It's up to us to make sure that its a ground that won't be hosting SL in 2016 :wink:


First of all congratulations to the Bulls on making it to the "£1 million" game, it should be a cracker. I will very much be a neutral for this one as I would like to have seen both Wakey and the Bulls in Super League next year.

Secondly the phrase "people in glass houses" comes to mind ref the highlighted comment above. I have watched the Rhinos at both Belle View and Odsal and I know which I prefer. :roll:

It's not a super duper state of the art stadium....but I could see why you thought it was. Thank fully it's much better than Belle Vue and we rent it for peanuts.

For me I feel it should be neutral ground regardless if we would/still could finish 4th. It was always likely a super league team would finish in 4th and seemingly be offered home advantage.

Roll on Wakey away part 2!

You're clearly making reference to Odsal, but as I said NEUTRAL that doesn't work does it?

Maybe you should take your brain out of neutral?



Referring to the fact you lot don't understand the rules set out from the outset.

4th will be at home to 5th,

Not we still think we are a massive club and have a divine right to play at ODSLUM!!

Just sayin :)

Yes your right squire, as it's such a vital game for you, we should play it at that super duper state of the art stadium called odslum :roll:




Let's jump forward 12 month, let's say we are away to your Wakefield again, it could well be played at Dewsburys ground as you would get home advantage.

It would be nice to see Wakefield move up in the world

I know you probably struggle with comprehension due to inbreeding and malnutrition during your childhood, but which part of 'neutral' do you not understand?

I for one have no issue playing this game away, but it is a crying shame that such a big match will be at such a tiny ground. I was going to say that it's important that ALL Wakey fans are given one last chance to see their team play before they are sent into oblivion, crushed under the heel of the Bulls' almighty forward pack, but then I remembered that there are only about six of you so you should fit no problem. You can count to six can't you, Cross Lane Cat? It's the number of fingers you have on one hand. :mrgreen:

The game is two weeks away and the bickering has already started. For what it's worth, both grounds are sh!tholes that need plenty of work on them to bring them up to speed.

A couple of points to address here first Rog, will your club be able to sustain another season financially trying to buy your way out of the championship on the pittance we are led to believe Sky give you, because if you follow the path your club has taken this season buying quantity instead of quality I doubt you will be up there challenging with the others, which I'm sorry to say makes your supposition that we would be entertaining you at Dewsbury academic, and lets also assume that your right and we do play at Dewsbury with home advantage, is that an admission on your part that we will beat you in this years final enabling us to finish above you next season as well.

Thanks for your concern rog, I've always said you were one of the better ones on here, hopefully we won't have to go to Dewsbury, with a bit of luck and good management we will get sorted out, I'd like to think your club will get sorted out with a new ground also, as you well know it's not much fun being a tenant in somebody else' pit.

Good to see us renewing aquaintance with the Wakefield cognoscenti.

Don't care where the game is but a neutral venue would've been better. I expect such a feat of organisation wiuld be beyond the RFL.
