| Quote: The Clan "By bringing together the board of investors who are prepared to underwrite the costs of reaching and sustaining a place in super league in the same way that the much maligned Ted Richardson had to do for the first two years of Wakefield Trinity's stay in super league, by methodically building the revenue streams that support the club and doing so on solid foundations, by employing quality people to carry out essential roles within the organisation such as marketing, community work and junior development, by attracting sponsors will share in the vision of seeing the club compete in the highest division our sport has to offer, in short by employing long-term sustainable strategies which build the club from the bottom up, which are adaptable and sustainable and to which everyone is committed to a long-term.
'" But it didnt happen did it Wakefield didnt do it. In fact no club did. Why make something much much more difficult for no real benefit.
Quote: The Clan "That is one of your most ill informed and ignorant statements of recent times.
The relaxation of the overseas quota, EU employment law, the development of the KOLPAK ruling and the relaxation of the exemption rules are what lead to a number of clubs recruiting far too many overseas players.'" No, clubs employed overseas players because they saw it as an easy short-term option to help them avoid relegation. There is a reason for the correlation between the bigger clubs having fewer overseas players and the lesser clubs having more.
Quote: The Clan "Your suggestion that Wakefield Trinity did not develop their own juniors during that time is simply moronic! Unfortunately for Wakefield they do not have the financial strength to hold off larger predator clubs like Wigan, Melbourne, Leeds, Warrington even a Ken Davey financed Huddersfield. Stripped of their home developed talent Wakefield had little choice but to sign overseas players in order to compete against relegation but this was a symptom not a cause.'" Absolute balls. Wakefield did not have the financial strength precisely because they couldnt put long term strategies in place because every season their main and only priority was to avoid relegation.
Quote: The Clan "OH! I'm another poster making things up, change the record, if you can't understand the statement or are incapable of formulating an answer just say so!'" '" ]no, if it is just a factual untruth which you have made up, i dont need to argue against it. Just point out that it is a factual untruth which you have made up.

Absolute rubbish. The club have already indicated that whatever league there in, next season will be at Belle Vue

I'm not going to analy argue every point that you make, it's clear you haven't got a clue what you are talking about and have no experience in sports administration particularly at the amateur/semipro level and more importantly within a full-time professional environment.
The only point I will make is that Wakefield lost Ben Westwood to Warrington, Gareth Ellis to Leeds, Keith Mason to the Melbourne storm, Frances Stevenson to Wigan, David March to Huddersfield plus Wayne McDonald along with a number of other juniors.
In Wakefield's first season in super league the Academy team came close runners-up in both the league and grand final to the Leeds team that contained the likes of Rob Burrow, Danny McGuire, Mark Calderwood and Ryan Bailey just to name a few.
Around the same time Wakefield Trinity's team consisted of a number of home-grown players such as Graham and Martin Law, David March, Mark Applegarth, Rob Spicer, Martin Holland, Paul Handforth, Steve Snitch, Tommy Haughey, Chris Feather, Kevin King, etc etc. The club continues to operate a very effective and productive junior system to suggest as you have that Wakefield has not always done this is just ignorant.

I have read that very same post 3 times on RLfans, seems the records stuck on an un informed poster.

Where have the club indicated this out of interest? I was of the understanding that this was their last year at Belle Vue as they had sold it and development started on that site after the season is over? When did this change (or was this ever true?).

Don't know where you got all that from!
Wakey can't sell BV - the last owner did that already! (Very shady, tabboo subject it seems).
There is also a covenent stating that BV can not be developed until a compensatory facility is built i.e. until a new ground is done BV must remain a sports ground (this seems to be the basis of Wakey getting a good rent deal to remain there - without them the land is worthless).

As dboy said. Plus the club have indicated some temporary stands would be installed with cover if we remained in SL. Obviously the hope is the PI for newmarket goes well, and then we go there (although clearly there are no guarantees)

With that one comment you have alienated two sets of fans for NO reason.
