| I dont think you have a hope in hell of attracting the investment you need, £500,000 is massive and why would supporters chuck money away when 2 investors (with much more money) have just walked away??
I would doubt that even Leeds, Saints or Wigan would get anywhere near that sort of investment from fans if put in the same situation........and they have all got some actual fans!!
If the basis of Wakefields future was based on getting a pie in the sky decision on this FREE stadium then it tells you something about the state of Wakefield Trinity Wildcats as a viable entity!!
The whole development at Newmarket will never be built now, its the end of all that, you lot have to face the facts and to keep slagging off Wakefield council is outrageuos in the extreme when you consider they have bought belle vue for a good amount of tax payers money 3 times in the last 15-20 years and sold it back to you for a quid 3 times so that you could sell it again to raise more cash to waste...........and you still say they havent helped you!!!!

| Phew, this feels bad. We're hoping for a franchise as a professional sports club, but we will be run by whoever sticks their hand up in a shareholders meeting. It might be one way forward, but it feels like we are going to turn into a small-fry community club.
And I can understand why the RFL would differentiate between us and Crusaders. Looking at impartially, one is a new club saddled with debts from a previous owner, whereas the other is one that would want a loan to help out the same owners.
As much as I want to help out the club, I can't help feeling that it will be a grand down the pan. We will be in NL regardless and what happens after that is anybe's guess.

Nonsense!
And the difference between the two ideals is that we are fans first, not business men. Only the RFL can explain why the sensible business route for the club is the one that we cannot take - despite them doing the very same with another club which is supposed to be on equal footing with us!

| TRB........Its time for you to stop being a busy body and cease trying to sugar coat turds and giving these poor fans things to cling on to, such THAT.... if you were not involved and read the rediculous garbage you have written over the last few months you would see straight away that there wasn't a hope in hell of it actually becoming a reality.
These fans deserve better!!
Its time for some cold hard truth on this forum and it will be tough to cope with, but stringing people along with pathetic petitions and new groups to join is a waste of everybodys time!!
The facts are thus:
- The club is in debt and without new investment will go bust within a month or 2.
- The club will not get a new Franchise.
- The club is probably unlikeley to meet its 2011 Super League commitments.
- Newmarket will NOT get the go ahead following the Public Enquiry and the project will be shelved.
Wakefield should not be asking the fans for all this money when investors won't touch it with a barge pole, they are banking on blind emotion and its a disgrace!!
If the fans want Ted out and to take the club over, why not let it go into administration and buy it for a lot less money, they could have a very good future in the championship and not have to throw all this money into a defunct Super League dream!!

'"
Because we were offering security against something that does not, and may never, exist? A club requesting financial aid when it has had the same ownership for years, and 11 years in the top flight to get it's act together is much different to a new entity bogged down by the debts of a previous owner?

| hmmm, champagne charlie!!!
i smell the work of a previous amber clad gremlin!!!
in answer to your well thought out musings (not) though,
1 all clubs are in debt, including yours.
2 we dont yet know, it may still be you.
3 cant see that being an issue, how do you come to your conclusion (please show all working out)
4 how do you know this to be true? i have had a letter sent to me today giving the reasons why it has gone to a "local" inquiry, and to be honest it doesnt look as bad as first thought, most issues should be addressed by the developer.
Wakefield can ask its fans for what it choses, a bit like buying a brick to make up for a cash shortfall on GH.
Last point i agree with, as long as the rfl are going to deal with us the same as crusaders, id deffo think it was the best way forward.
