There are lots of things that the club might not be able to disclose, such as individual player contracts. And its possible that the terms of the lease with the RFL are covered by a confidentiality agreement (although I'm surprised that RL fans generally aren't demanding that the details are disclosed).

But there must be lots of information that the club could easily disclose eg how much we owe HMRC. I really cant see how that would be covered by confidentiality agreements. They just dont want to tell us.

Well they never told me when I asked.

And when they did tell you things they turned out to be lies anyway.

I just can't trust this lot. £1 million is a conventiently round number btw.

Great point.

Without wishing to trivialise the situation, would you prefer to hand over £100 (or any amount) to someone in the "blind faith" that they'd put it to good use, or to someone who has given a proper explanation as to what they need the money for and how the circumstances wouldn't be repeated?

Who decides that the target has been met? Remember that if the 500k isn't reached we are not liable for our pledges.

As soon as we have reached the 500k, we must pay. Mmmmm

I imagine the Bank/HMRC will decide won't they?
Either the club will be able to pay them=target met or we go under=target not met.

I have supported Wakefield for a long time and was a shareholder. When we were in trouble last year and our board asked our fans for money I was not prepared to put cash into the existing board. I felt it wouldn't be long before they asked again for more cash.
