How many people were calling for the club to have a shop in town to raise the profile of the club about 18months ago.

Now it's a really bad idea and we should go back to the ground. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
The problem is a lot of fans want champagne but only earn beer money.

So what would you suggest? What are city centres usually filled with (other than drunks)?

i still think we need a presence in the city centre.
we did a bit of deal with the gym, so there may be mileage there for an area or partnership.

here is hoping that kath gets her little black book out.....

It's the Wakefield District where exposure is needed through the schools, community centres, rugby clubs etc we there is a population of over 300,000 rather than 76,000 just in Wakefield City. 23,000 people alone live in the Stanley/Outwood area outside of the city.

As sure as night follows day. At Hull, when we wanted RA sacked, I think she was the one who offered him a new two year contract which he signed April Fools Day.



Genuinally hope your fortunes turn around though.

As you say...

During the meeting was the question raised regarding the nightmare scenario?

By that I mean if the club, in its current guise, was to go belly up & the Administrators were appointed.

If someone came in last minute ala Glover, would those at the top table like to hazard a guess as to if season tickets would be honored ala Glover, under a new regime?

I suppose I could half answer my own question & say, some people are prepared to take a punt just to keep the club afloat. Many however will think twice about splashing out a reasonable amount of money, when there’s no guarantee of seeing a single game for it!

Any news on how the ST figures in the clubs future?

More positive of our future after tonight's meeting, Kath Hetherington is a good appointment knows her RL and has good contacts. We need to support the club more than ever, good to hear everything is positive regarding Newmarket.

Not finalised yet. need to wait a week or so for more news on a share offer type deal.

I couldn't agree more. I get pretty frustrated when I hear the likes of the skysports idiots and people who don't know the area talking as though it is a tiny little town with no potential, and we ought to just merge and belt up. There is so much untapped potential but we never seem to have truly tapped it, though, albeit stimulated by the discredited cheap tickets, we have seen the potential support, if only we ever had a bunch who could run an RL club
