Quote Trebor="Trebor"Glover spends more than this on beer in a week. get over it. the only negative image portrayed comes from someone like you putting it on here in public.
Why don't you go full tilt and put a claim in yourself? all you have to do is go on a website and fill it in then there is more bad press for wakefield. you could claim for wasting your time and ours having to read your pathetic posts.'"
So far off the mark it is untrue. If anything the club should be more open about things and maybe we could help.
If they don't want the bad press that CCJ's bring they could run the business in a way that doesn't run them up in first place. Sorry to say it but things haven't really changed too much from the last lot when it comes to bill paying. I will say though that the Eric France situation was a kick right where it hurts and cost the club a lot of money but the problems had started before then. Glover is putting his own money in to keep things going but this cannot happen forever, we need some other financial help and the sooner the better. There is also a court case against Macron to pay for, which in my opinion there isn't a hope in hell of winning.
In the meantime if you were planning on buying some merchandise buy it now. Get a programme on sunday, buy a beer and a burger. They sold cheap memberships but thanks to EF going bust there is now a hole in the cash flow that needs filling. If you can afford it, spend it because they need you to. Bring a friend to the game, buy a shirt, whatever, just support the team now otherwise finances will have to be raised some other way and i'm sure we have some players that other teams would be interested in.
The RFL are changing the criteria for licencing next time around. Much less emphasis will be placed on stadia and a lot more on financial governence. A ten team superleague is coming to get rid of the weak and unless these debts are paid it will count against us big time, we will end up in a second tier of ten also-rans. They may re-introduce P&R but only with strict criteria in place which few clubs outside that top ten will be able to meet in their current form. I expect you've noticed that all of a sudden the talk in the media of groundshares has turned to talk of mergers, well that isn't coincidence. It is an underlying policy and still the ideal scenario for the RFL. The will NOT be two teams from the Wakefield area in the top teir of superleague come 2015. If it is to be Wakefield then we have to be squeaky clean come assessment time and the CCJ issue is not going to be helpful.
The sight of Newmarket on the horizon will help but the application will be based on a speculative business plan which will hold less creedence than teams who already play in stadiums that have the ability to pay their way 365 days a year. And despite the rhetoric coming from the club and SWAG we will not be playing in NM until 2016 at the earliest. The whole process has taken way too long for any ealrlier to be possible i'm afraid and whilst it is vital to get everything correct and gett he best deal possible the delays have not helped the clubs cause. To have any slim chance of being in 'on time' the buliding of the B8 units would have to start within a couple of months as they are to be built first. That obviously isn't going to happen so we will be delayed in moving, which makes having a watertight business imperative. Right now we have sprung a small leak, we need to fix that up asap before it gets worse.
