Quote: Donnyman "The RFL is little more than Rimmer and a few staff.
I'd guess there is well over a Million people 30 minutes away from Wakefield Trinity in Barnsley, Rotherham and Sheffield??
Good luck to anyone trying to boost Trinity's crowds from that angle.
What Trinity need is a modern ground to boost local support. The modernisation of RL grounds was certainly the catalyst for improved attendances and higher income pro rata..'"
It does strike me as strange that Wakefield, a club with an impresssive history, don't get bigger crowds.
Like Warrington, there is no other significant local sports team, although I'm sure Leeds United have quite a few fans in Wakefield just as Liverpool and Man United have a lot in Warrington.
