Quote: "Want to change at the club in the board room and if administration is the best way then so be it but I do feel sorry for the local businesses, some small ones I'm sure, that will lose money when they need it.
Can't think WTW has a good name to work with anyway but def not now.
if we are talking about sponsorship I can't see why they can't be honoured by a new owner'"
the church near belle vue used to offer meals, special dietary needs for players, conference rooms etc and were owed an amount of money when Trinity went into administration in 2001 - this money was just to cover costs and the church saw it as doing a good turn in the community at no risk to themselves or the other more important services they do in the community around Belle Vue.
So, Wakefield Trinity went into administration and as part of recovery plan was to pay 1p in to the pound for all outstanding debts. The church, hard up and finding that they would have to cut corners on more important community work complained and refused to accept it, intending to go public and stop the deal - at which point the club put pressure on the church by essentially letting them know that if wakefield trinity go out of business they would make it known which creditor in the community had forced them out of business.
The church no longer does business with WTW, the volunteers who help out at the church were disgusted with the behaviour of Wakefield Trinity and at least one of them (whom I heard this from many years ago) is finding it very difficult to have any sympathy for their current plight, he also finds it difficult to square this incident with their claims of being a community club.
I swear to god this person is not me, I'm closer to Richard Dawkins than anything with my religious outlook, but it's worth bearing in mind some of the victims in the whole administration shenannigans
I could also mention how Leeds United and Ken Bates shafted St John's ambulance service with their admin...
It's not always businesses trying to make money that suffer, it's charitable organisations just trying to cover costs whilst providing an important service that also suffer
