Seems rather busy on this particular forum, don’t Trinity have their own forum.
Don’t know why they would be worried about a mostly part time team, when they are a full time team primed for SL.
Strange…..

Wow, you think this is busy! I suppose it's a question of what you're used to...
Not worried, just that years of being a Wakefield fan means we don't take anything for granted.

It's busy for us, but, we aren't from Agbrigg and can't spend all day on here. We have jobs.


...yes yes I suppose breeding XL bullies is a job.

The points distribution is heavily weighted towards the traditional superleague clubs as championship clubs get naff all competition points, in comparison. Plus loads of points are awarded for TV viewership over the last 3 years which gives Wakefield an unfair advantage.

The new stand etc. don't count for a great deal. If it was so heavily weighted towards the stadium York wouldn't be so far behind on IMG points.

It's just a fact Wakefield have been chosen for automatic promotion after which it will be closed shop making this championship season pointless for everyone else.

Just not as busy as when you used to be a big club, eh?

It's funny to hear somebody from Bradford being patronising about Agbrigg...it has its share of problems, but they pale in comparison to Bradfords. I don't actually live in Agbrigg, but regularly wander through when I walk into the city centre. Reminds me of where I grew up, rough and ready but friendly enough, as long as you weren't too snotty nosed.

Glad to hear you've got a job, somebody needs to pay for the pension increases I've been getting.

I'm not enough of an expert on the IMG farce to comment on those points. If they're correct, I can understand your bitterness...but what would you be saying if the roles were reversed, and Bradford in their iconic stadium were 'the chosen ones'?

I wish it was us. I'd snap IMG's hand off.

Retied eh? Smart move following ban on XL bullies. Just living off the proceeds of your cannabis grow?

What I grow I keep

Surely, those in the top flight should have a heavy advantage over those in the lower leagues ?
As for "viewership", Trinity were rarely on TV and not at all now.
We do quite well on finance though

Davies and Arundel in squad, if both fit they go straight in for me.

McGowan
Myers
Arundel
Gill
Taufua
Holmes
Lilley
Lawrence
Souter
Rogers
Davies
Fulton
Doro

Ott
Scurr
Okoro
Appo

Lawrence is key IMO. Need to keep calm in the opening 20 minutes.

I know Baldwinson isnt back in the first team squad yet but how did he look for the reserves?

I think you need to read the details again.
We are not guaranteed anything.

If we get enough points it's because people have worked hard in areas that get us more points than those around us in the IMG table.
