| Quote: King Street Cat "When Leigh were pushing for Super League we had vitriol from some of their fans, then from some of the Bradford fans when we beat them in the MPG, then from the faux Frenchmen last season when Catalans were garbage. Now that Widnes are in free fall, we've got ScouseViking hanging around our board and VT threads like a bad smell.
There's a kind of complex developing where if one club believe they should be doing better, they aim their vitriolic abuse at Wakefield fans because 'it should be Wakey who are in the poop, not us'. It's become a barometer for which clubs are struggling - just see which club's fans are slagging Wakey off.'"
The only complex is that of Wakefield fans, they seem to think that everyone has got something against them and your post just proves it
You all need to get out more, you all have the worst case of small man/club syndrome I have ever seen, in particular Vastman - "Everybody hates us, we are always underdogs, we have a team full of players nobody else wanted "

| whats with the Wakefield bashing???
To me I pay for the experience, before, during and after the game. (home and away)
Being a Leyther, I was there last year (when we folded during the second half) and I must admit the Wakefield fans are superb, no gloating not one sign of trouble and everyone I met was most welcoming - credit to them.
When they played Warrington at the LSV, I was with them in the "Centurion" party atmosphere, great day.
The ground is what it is, people forget at least you can get under cover during bad weather unlike Cas and Leeds.
Are they holding their own in Super League - yes, so what is your problem?

Do you want to go and re-read some of the drivel you've been spouting on the Wakefield board over the last few weeks?

Why do you insist on giving it if you can't take it? Nobody is forcing you to spout your vitriolic rubbish on the Wakefield forum.
I mean you're so dim you don't even stop spouting crap when the Wakefield chairman himself shoots you down.
Have to say if you're one of the many false identities on here you're definitely one of the more tedious incarnations.

Well our chairman says we are over 330k below the cap and I know who I believe

How would you feel if your team was on its 4rs3 heading for the million pound game, while some perennial bottom half finisher with no fans, money or ground turns it around in a few seasons to be half a league better than you, and then on top of that they go and tell you they're spending 330k UNDER the cap.
You wouldn't be happy..right
Well, they're not happy, Widnes and Shudds feel the most let down by our non participation in the bottom 4, we were floating away on a seas of tears a few weeks ago from all the Shudds boohooing on our board when they were bottom 4 material, they've won a few games since then so its all gone quiet, no such upturn in fortunes for Widnes, so that's still on going.
Anybody else that's b1tching about Wakey are either-
A. In the lower leagues and b1tch about everything SL.
B. A club wanting to up the cap and buy success.
C. Arrogant.
All are trolls
It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

See your point - yea we were annoyed that Cas were doing so well last season and we ended up in the Million pound game, there is no justice.
Note: Cas fans this is a sarcastic post

Despite being in league one these lot are still on our forum giving us “advice”.
One Pratt is on there now banging on about speedway.
Vastman in particular is obsessed with Bradford and we even have mods at it.
We’ve even had carter on there trolling in the past.
They were allowed into superleague on the lie they would sort their ground out and they are still coming out with pie in the sky plans now that will never happen. It’s time the rfl stopped allowing them a free pass.

It's funny that the poster you talk about in the speedway thread doesn't post in the Trinity forum.
It's almost like he or she is just trying to give Wakefield a bad name on the Bradford forum and VT.
Seems tiresome hard work to me but who am i to judge.

| I LIKE WAKEY !
*it's true* have done since John Kear saved their s from the pit of Hell fire in that last game shoot out.
*Constructive*
While I believe that Wakeys attendance average is far too poor both for SL & for the standard & brand of RL they are playing currently, I also believe there are far less deserving Clubs than WT at the moment.
Wakeys ground is one of the worst facilities in modern RL at both SL & Championship level, however it didn't stop me enjoying the rugby.
Have I ever had a pop at Wakey attendances ?
Yes !
Do I believe attendances at RL grounds are important ?
Yes !
Do I believe stadium facilities are important ?
Yes !
*note that I accept Leigh were fortunate regards stadium in more buoyant times*
I would like to see all SL Clubs be set minimum standards of 6k average gates & minimum stadium standards, let's say for arguments sake 6k average by 2022 or year 3 for a newly promoted SL Club & stadium standards by 2025 given the current economic climate. These standards should be fixed to prevent an unfair Salford/Wakey/Cas type situation happening again & stop Clubs resting on their central funding while making no firm commitment to raising standards.
*just my own opinion on the whole attendance/stadium argument*
For balance I will say this. I like the way Wakefield have built on the on field performance steadily & seem to have a good plan & good recruitment, as a Leigh fan I would happily take regular 7 to 9 finishes until established & I think Wakefield have the ability as a Club to push on, do they have the drive to ? only time will tell.
I don't mind Carter, despite him voting in a self protectionist manner re the future structure, he seems to be quite stable & have a long term strategy for WT.
In summary, while WT are not ripping it in SL I would rather lose a Salford, Hudds or Widnes as though 4k gates are not great for Wakey at least the Club & it's fans show promise whereas the others show abject apathy & a disengagement.

Nice to have some support form outside of Wakefield
Although we would all love to see RL played the length and breadth of the country in packed stadia and for RL to be the no 1 sport in the UK, sadly, this is never going to happen.
Supporters of certain clubs love to sneer at certain attendances, I've done it myself from time to time.
Attendances only becam an issue when The RFL "demanded" that SL clubs achieve attendances of 10k which, as time has shown, is not currently realistic for all SL clubs.
Of course, Wigan, Leeds, Wire, Saints and Hull FC have no problem and Cas & KR are not too far behind.
However, the constant bashing of the smaller clubs doesn't help anyone and one of the issues is, even if the clubs with lower attendances were thrown out, just who could they be replace with.
Even Toronto, with all the hype, are nowhere near being able to achieve this mystical number and of the rest, there is only Bradford who could get close (assuming that the masses from the "Bullmania" days actually want to re-engage with the club should they make it back to the top flight.
As a sport, of course "we" should always be looking to improve standards, across the board, from players, officials, facilities and match day experience etc but, we should be focusing on the "product", the game of Rugby League, instead of looking for gimmicks.
Most folk that have a go at Trinity are envious of the things that the club has got right, from the Chairman, Coach, squad and their league standing.
Belle Vue, for all it's faults (and there are a few), is still a great place to watch a game of Rugby League.
It still has an excellent playing surface, which is full size, with no turned up corners and at some point, everyone hopes & expects either a move or redevelopment to take place, something that, with a little more political will, would have already happened.

Show me where I'm obsessed with Bradford - can't remember the last post I made regarding them until you started having a monumental hissy fit on here.
You should change your name to JCB the amount of hole digging you do - just read your own post back and you'll see this is all of your own making - you can read can't you?
As for lies I don't think there is a club in the history of RL that's lived a bigger lie than Bradford - get what I mean JCB?
