Quote: vastman "TBH I couldn't bare that - it would be 2006 all over again and your probably due the spoils. Even if we won I wouldn't have the heart to lord it over you as I could really empathise with you on that one. Both sets of fans are well overdue some silverwear especially us, lets take it from Saints or Wigan as they already have plenty.

This is no Vasty love in with Cas - I love beating you but who needs that extra edge at Wembley. If either of us made it all the way we'd enjoy it no matter who we beat - if we lost at least it wouldn't be to our nearest and dearest - to much for either of us to face up to the next monday.

I don't need that much pressure
Would be brilliant though wouldn't it, would really show the other teams not to write either of us off, which I cant believe a lot of other teams fans still do.

Of course you would lord it over us if you won, and rightly so, it's just friendly banter!

Disco - Expansion of the game is a good thing, undoubtedly, but in the main what people simply want to assert is that you don't kill the roots to spread the tree. The Curtism - The battles are fought on the field and the friends are made in the bar. There's no hatred among real men. EFC - In Martinez We Trust 9th Place RLFANS Poker Tournament 2010:24084.jpg

Bad weather syndrome - need to pray to the sun gods to keep the sun shining on all our games.

However back to previous Trinity postings - if the town of Wakie got behind their team i.e. more speccies watching them, they would get taken more seriously!!! Thier attendances have not broken any records - certainly does not reflect their league position!!

It's not about speccies is it - that is such a myth usually peddled by teams who are underachieving. If Wakefield can produce a 4th placed SL team within the budget they have then why would bigger crowds make us a more serious opposition - don't talk such rubbish.

You don't take clubs seeriously because they have more fans, or make more noise or have better bogs, it's what happens on the pitch and only on the pitch that matters. The rest is irrelevent rather like your post.

The Roosters are one of the NRL's least well supported teams, but they do OK all the same.

When will some Cas fans crowd obsession ever end, it's not like you have ended up doing better than us is it.

Finally if there was only 6,500 at BV today then the ground has shrunk, more like 8,000 - why we think it's a good idea to put out the wrong figure I don't know. It may save a bit of VAT but it's crap PR.

A team can announce any attendance they want, but they have to state the correct amount to the Inland Revenue or could face a hefty fine for tax evasion icon_wink.gif

Oh come on, Vasty, a guess the crowd thread with post match analysis of the figure appears on the Wakey board every time you have an home game.

However important and valid you believe the crowd issue is, it's clearly something that interests/concerns many Wakey fans.

And then moan about when the attendance is announced over the tannoy. I mean, it's not about speccies is it, but still the thread has continued about how the attendances must be fiddled..

There are a number of elements that make a succesfull club of which attendance figures are one. However there importance is greatly exagerated IMHO.

This week was more a simple case of no one believed the figure, and it's not the first time the club have later revised the figure upwards.

Well they've stuck it on the official website as that, so it must be right. It's done on ticket stubs and turnstile clicks so you can't really argue with it. Plus, it's illegal to fiddle the attendance figures.

True enough which makes me wonder why we do it. i must say I bull my club up a lot and by and large they deserve it. However one weakness we have and one think Cas excel at is understanding PR.

As you say you can announce any figure you like so why give the lowest. What I suspect we have done is give the paying attendance. What we have not done is include all the freebies, comps etc - we never do. This may be honest but it's also plain stupid and a real flaw in the way the club projects itself IMHO.

If you could combine Richard Wrights flair for spin and Teds eye for a bargain we's have a great set up - STILL WE'D HAVE TO MERGE FOR THAT - NO!!! icon_lol.gif
