| Quote feline="feline"If the story is true we can hardly complain, we are trying to get the folk of wakefield behind us by promoting ourselves as a family club. If true the cowardly act is despicable and the person concerned should not be at our club. Imagine if the girl involved was your daughter what would be your feelings then ?'"
Yes i agree if that had been my daughter then i would want justice but i would not plaster her mashed face all over the press. Very distasteful. |

Well all we can hope is that she is ok, that the person who did that is brought to justice and that the news article does not adversely affect the reputation of Wakefield Trinity Widcats which in all honesty I cannot see many,if any, not attending on the back of it. As they say todays news is tomorrows fish and chip paper, and yes when my son was beaten up by a gang it did not feature on the front of the paper , just as well as it meant none of his grandparents found out |

hope hes alright sue, these many worse things in the paper add to the fact its 2 week old .
that poor young lad that was subject to the missing persons investigation was laid to rest surly the fact that over 22'000 joined a group to find him shows which story demanded the headlines of Wakefield |

| Quote crofton-cat="crofton-cat"Sent my email to the editor and ceo and coo of johnston press. As below -
I would like to register my disgust and disappointment with the 25/02/2011 edition of the Wakefield Express.
As a regular purchaser of this paper I am totally outraged with the decision to run the story on the front page.
As far as I know this paper is a local Wakefield paper and as the cities only major sport team is Wakefield Trinity Wildcats I would of thought our local paper would be 100% behind the local sport team.
This previous week has been the biggest week in the clubs history, I am sure that a front page story in regards to the takeover of the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats would of sold more papers than a story about a player that has been arrested and not charged yet. I have no problem with the story being printed but just cannot understand why it had to be front page news. Surely the 7th or 8th page would of been more suitable.
This is a joke and I will never buy this paper again and know that there are may other people now boycotting this paper and any other papers affiliated with Johnston Press.
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats have a fan base over around 8000 and this now means you have 8000 less papers sold, in a small city this is a large number. I would also hazard a guess that many companies who are loyal to Wakefield Trinity Wildcats may think again before advertising with this paper.
Your paper is a disgrace and I and many others are very upset that this has happened. Surely a positive story of the cities oldest sporting team would have been a fantastic front page story. Someone has made a grave mistake and the people of Wakefield are looking for answers, where and who is going to provide an apology?
I look forward to hearing your response.
I can fully understand your reasons for writing that, and empathise with the emotions behind it. I thought it was disgraceful act to lead with that story.
BUT...you have boxed them in a corner and left them no honourable means of dignified climb-down. In that situation, usually there is only one way for a cornered individual - or animal - to escape - and that is by flying straight at you. That rarely yields the most satisfactory outcome?
Again, as I said on another thread - just a thought?

well here is my 2p worth...
i think it is a disgrace that our local paper, the one who should help us out (if you know what i mean), runs such a negative story. witht he exception of this story (which i was fully aware of), i have heard nothing but good news coming out of the club (and as mentioned on previous threads i cannot believe it!!)
there is so much good news from the club at the moment, they could nearly fill the newspaper.
and as for previous comments on here and elsewhere - i worked for the newspaper for over 10 years (part time) and i can assure you that there are plenty of "skeletons in the closet" in regards to to Johnson Group (wakefield express owners) employees.

If they actually printed up to date news that would be something.
