no dont want it locking just makeing a statement that rebelrebel has been quiet on this post but he locks everything that bazzo44 has an opinion on.

My comments re the clubs position i do stand by and always will, somewhere during 2009 we got it badly wrong and we are paying for it now, newmarket or no newmarket the fans have gone and the current squad will not bring them back.

Any comments blaming trb and especially BigAl blaming them for everything you surely did not take without a pinch of salt, I dont know enough about the inside of the club to know whos to blame, but I do know enough about business modelling to know someone made a mistake in that period.

It makes you wonder what would have happened if Brough, Newton & Tronc had stayed. When they left, and free'd up, what, must have been 300+ grand in wages, we couldn't replace like-for-like because we didn't have the cash.

I don't think we'd have been able to pay everyone come the end of the season.

course i did but for gods sake but you didnt even blame anyone. personally i dont like how TRB he stands up for the club but thats his choice, but even i couldnt blame him for how poorly the club is run, but i could blame fans for standing for it

What's the plan then? Cos posting messages on an internet forum is hardly gonna bring down the Richardsons or get rid of Kear. What action do you think people should take?

well kear will not go weve no money, but i can see him getting some right flak this season. the richardsons run the club like a family corner shop, its our club, the fans and we should damand change through protest. we cant keep going on like this, yes imloyal to the club but we wont have much left if this carries on. do you think fans will desert us next year, it looks like were in for the fight of our lives to save the club, ted and the rest will have to be carried out kicking and screaming. he will never sell he likes the limelight too much

Sorry fact is I think there is nothing fans can do, theres no one to sell club to so theres no one we can back, unless someone with megabucks comes along in next 12-18 months or so I think we may be heading for at best the nl or at worst for the end, simple fact is our base of home fans was not enough last year, i fear it will be less this year, and when we move away it will diminish again, thus the money will keep going down and the playing standards will drop leading to gates dropping further etc etc etc its a spiral and its already started.
The only action we can take is to try and face facts and ask ourselves honestly what do we want from our club?
And perhaps face the toughest 2 decisions ever,
1 do we need to put in for a franchise now or drop a league and consolidate / rebuild
2 Do we need newmarket until the above has happened?

Yeah, it's a personal thing. I hate bazzo44 and get a real buzz from locking his threads. Just can't help myself.

Now if you want to add anything to that, do it by PM.

Cheers!

Not got an issue with the rest of the post, but to say that the club have struggled to deliver on the Stadium issue is a bit tight.

As someone involved in a small way in the process I saw at close hand the way in which WMDC duped us and dumped us - they were utterly convincing when promising Thornes and there is plenty of evidence to support that.

As for NM, sure we're all frustrated by the current delay, and we're all conscious of the implications, but all the parties involved have worked hard to get this far this fast, with the only significant delay before this one being the period earlier this year when WMDC tried to force the groundshare issue. We fought that then and believe that we were right to do so then and still believe it now. To have any future for professional RL in Wakefield, we need to keep fighting for NM and I only hope that enough of us will support this fight.

Management regimes come and go, so whatever you think of them (and I appreciate where the volume of support lies), we need to remember that Wakefield Trinity belongs ultimately to the City and the people of Wakefield. That has always been my motivation and in that one issue alone I think we have the one thing that still unites all on here - hopefully!
