If Wakey has such bad youth development then why is half your side littered with ex Wakey players?
I'd like to add that whilst Wakeys crowds are not quite as good as Hudds, there are a few differences, one being that your season tickets are dirt cheap, two being that you play in a state of the art ground, whereas Wakey play out of a ground with no cover on terraces that are so worn in that the concrete is visibly sloped! Three being that your owner has been able to bankroll your club and its expensive players for many a season.
Some clubs fans have such short memorys, and have been lucky in many respects regarding their ownership and stadium. Having a soccer team has been a blessing for the likes of Wigan, Hull and Huddersfield.
Anyway I digress (It's easy to when people open their mouth without actually thinking much) With the very important public enquiry decision due in a few months time, Wakeys future rests on that decision and it could either turn out to make or break us as a club.

My club is not the Huddersfield Giants. I do however have the upmost respect for Ken Davey and what he has done for the Huddersfield club.
A quick check reveals that Quins have more Acadmey produced players in the first team squad than wakey and Salford, and you know as well as everybody else that your club is drinking at the last chance saloon as regards building a new ground, or a total revamp of Belle Vue.

3 Years minimum- Hughes only owns 40% of Quins- The club is looking for further investment as are all clubs I suspect

Had to laugh at the old Wakey fella on Boots n' All "We should have got rid of London" no attempt to justify it or rationalise it. You've gotta laugh, either that or pat him on the head.

Wakey is my favourite away game. Easiest to get to (by train), great pubs, great old ground (never rains when we go there fortunately), great friendly locals, great pubs - er, did I mention that - but a couple of years back I got chatting to a local in Harry's Bar who told me there was no place in RL for a London club, but he hadn't watched Wakey for ten years "because they're sh*te". Priceless!

What a total knob you are......look at the facts before spouting rubbish.
Wakefield average so far this season 400 fans less per home game than you do and we are at the bottom and you are at the top.
Wakefield take more away fans than You do thats a fact.....Giants fans dont travel.
Lastly take a look back at academy and you will see that that we finish higher most seasons and have won the academy championship unlike you.......now slither off you misinformed, clueless baboon !

My club is not Huddersfield, so #### in your nest on that one.
Your ground is the worst in Super League by a country mile. thats 2 up to me.
What about the signing of Ryan Tongia, what sort of message does that send to the young British players at Wakey. Tongia has not played a single NRL game, yet is deemed good enough to play for Wakey in Super League.
3 nil to me and i wasn't even trying.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Not sure where we are at with the whole Harlequins thing, but I was at an event last week and there were some representatives from the RFL there.
I enquired about Harlequins, and one of the guys from the RFL, who seemed to be 'in the know' said that it was very unlikely the club would be playing as Harlequins next season.
