I don’t understand why there wasn’t any noises made by the other teams not getting the same type of deal. Nigel wood signed off on the deal, then left the rfl and became a director at odsal. You couldn’t make it up.
It seems that wakey now have an owner to pay back their loan and I wouldn’t expect them to default. It’s still a great deal that kept them alive and allowed them to get ahead of us in the stadium wars.
Each council barring a couple are talking of bankruptcy, they can’t afford to write off £3m debt and then close swimming pools, council offices and sports centres. If a swimming pool has the same number of users over the year, the question would be what hurts then financially less. So, at worst they could restructure the debt.
