From what I have read the stadium is still years away. I certainly don't believe all the bluster, especially given previous blusterings!
In the meantime crowds are down, big rumours of Wakey being potless etc. Not exactly an avalanche of good noises.

Sad to know so little about your own club. However they treat you like mushrooms re stadium naming / STs etc.
Not seen a singe article saying the cost of the stadium and how it wil be paid for. Have you/ (or are you in the dark..again?)

Give the guy a bit of slack MG. I don't know the ins and outs of our club and why should I?
Do we have £100,000 to spend on a player? etc - I can not answer.

Yes, if the stadium does happen it is years away, but that is no different to Cas, Salford, Saints, Bradford
Cant really comment on rumours.....what do you want me to say?? Suppose all l can say is non of the players so far have said anything.......would you not say that is a good sign??......you would expect the players or the agents to go public if they believed there was any truth in the rumours.

| The bit im struggling with (not hard i know) is why would you sell your stadium in 2007 with no new stadium in the pipeline back then, looks to me like your in the proverbial big time.

I wonder if they've been stung by the image rights tax loophole closure?

no the recent closure. Hence the need to raise some cash but selling a player or share issue. It looks like it is cash you require rather than salary cap space / player.

| Yes, that's what it seems like to me. Cashflow problems, possibly due (at least in part) to reduced crowd levels from their projections.
Either way, what will be will be.

| Just to add in some Wakey attendance stats here:
Average YTD is 5,772. Average for 2008 was 6,962. Down 17%
Average compared to the like for like fixtures from last season is down 19% and on a round to round basis is down 24%
Wakeys highest attendance of the season so far (6,57icon_cool.gif is only 222 more than our lowest of the season so far (6,356).
Now, assuming that the crowd average stays the same that equates to 15,470 speccies less for Wakey this season. At an average of say £10 a pop, well, you're talking about £150k.

| The people of Wakefield need to have a look at themselves.
Their team are doing them proud and deserve better support than that.

Unfortunately the people who will read BG's statement are the ones who don't need to. It's the other people sat at home on a Sunday. You've had it tough this year and you need your supporters to turn out in force - the team is performing but the support isn't.
