| What you say is true, having an injection of cash is only the start, its how cleaver you are at managing the money that puts you on the path to success, we found this out with the last two regimes. The one before last said he had land to sell and would put the money into the club, on the back of this the management paid big money to bring big name players in, this was the time you may remember Bobby Goulding came, as it turned out he did not have the land to sell, Then the last regime Gambled, said they would inject cash and they increased the fan base by giving tickets away and inviting forgeries etc, on both counts we ended up further in dept all this after both plans had been veted and rubber stamped by the RFL, now the pressent management is trying to clean up the mess.

| You're in the game - as long as you possess your own ground. Or have guaranteed access to it through some legal arrangement which is worth the paper its written on.
Clubs which sell off their only real asset are like convicts awaiting their final appeal on Death Row.

| Wakefield were indeed a force to be reckoned with, during the sixty's? I remember Gerry Round a distinguished full back and Harold Poynton the stand off having a terrible clash of heads when they both went for a high kick, I think one them broke his jaw, I think Saints signed Don Vines from Wakie, wish we had him today.

| Paul Round had the makings of a fine player. Big. Athletic. Good hands. Could shift a bit, too.
I was surprised he didn't make a bigger name for himself. Although this was during the period when "fitness work" meant a competition to come up with the most innovative method of avoiding it (such as jumping on the bus during long-distance runs) and "healthy eating" was a trip down to The Mill House with Chris Arkwright and the gang.

| I think we also signed Brian Briggs from Trinity, a big fast second rower, a real tackling machine.

| I'm not sure whether "nostalgia" quite fits the bill but I remember that cold, wet and miserable evening in Wakefield when the all-conquering force that was "Andy Northey" made his debut.
As Ellery Hanley would say - "Zilled". ![Evil or Very Mad icon_evil.gif](images/smilies//icon_evil.gif)

Apparently there's a whole chapter of Austin Healey's autobiography dedicated to Andy Northey.

Reading this brought memories back for me. I was a very conscientious trainer and really enjoyed it as well, but I hated the long runs. So four of us used to drop off after a mile and go into a pub. We had a half of bitter and played dominoes until we saw the others returning when we joined in again. Happy days.

| Love these memories and i think wakefield got turner from oldem, still got video tapes of wakefields three cup final games at wembly, the one where rocky turner got a "knock" and was staggering around the pitch with the officials trying to get him off, they did eventually but he still came back on.

Briggs did most of Dick Huddarts tackling for him. Briggs was an outstanding player.

Don Vines (a Welshman) signed for Oldham in 1956 from Newbridge RU Club, he then signed for Trinity and played at Wembley in 1960, he moved to Saints shortly afterwards and made his debut against Wigan on 7th September 1960, his final game for Saints was also against Wigan in the 1961 CCC at Wembley, ( I will let Rogues tell you the result), Don returned to Trinity for the start of the 61/62 Season, he played in just 38 games for Saints, but what a player he was. Don Vines sadly passed away in 1989 at the young age of 57, May he rest in peace.
