How so?

I could not attend so take what is written on here as truth.

Telling people it's the most important meeting ever and then asking to spend money on membership/lottery.

A build up to whip up the crowd consisting of people you respect similar to how make a million semenars are structured.

Multiple sittings because of the hype. No solutions/resolutions/answers only another possibility and a drawing of what might be.

People expect results at a big presentation meeting not ideas and plans. It's less impressive than the Newmarket/thornes build up which were delivered with less hype.

You have both failed to start work on a new ground before the deadline day, so why would this put you in a better light, infact from a business point of view its stupid to spend all that money on something when you could be getting the go ahead for a new stadium in a matter of months. And the RFL are mad to put clubs in this position.

The RFL is a shambles.

For once I agree with you, I think from Trinity's point of view and most other people, once you're out of SL it will be very very hard to get back in and maybe that why this decision has been taken

thinking about this announcement, AG wouldnt bother with this if you werent going to get the liscence... is it possible that he has had a little word from RFL that we will get a liscence. otherwise he is wasting his money dewveloping a championship ground, which isnt a good business move for anyone ... just a thought

Re: NEWS FROM TONIGHT'S BIG MEETING : Wed Jun 08, 2011 8:57 pm  

Although it wasn't the massive announcement we were all hoping for it is still big and it shows that we really do mean business and we are going to fight all the way.

I am more confident of us achieving a longer stay in Super League than I was before the meeting.

I cant take this news serious at all.

Just another in a long line of plans and drawings.

Doesnt make any sense.

Why would anyone fund the redevelopment of a ground they dont own and potentially will be moving out of in 2/3 years.
Even if there is someone daft enough to fund it,cant see it been ready for start of 2012 season and cant see the RFL been gullible enough to believe it.

Quite a bit, but if you take it you are in the same position you only have to beat them on all the other criteria and prove your club has been run on a sound basis over the last franchise period

If they believe the poop from RW, they'll certainly believe this
