| Quote: wtid71 "I was really saddened to see on twitter that our chairman is feeling the strain of being at the helm of our great club.
After the incredible high of the end of season match v Cas we the fans were sunk to the depths of despair when the whole truth about the Elston/Glover overspending came to light.
To come to where we are now at the start of the season with what I believe is a competitive team is nothing short of a miracle through the efforts of MC, Kath, Martin Hopkins and what appears to be a very small back room team.
Yes it was an abysmal performance on Thursday aided by a certain mr Hicks and the fact we were on telly added to the embarrassment but let's please us the fans not forget how far our club has come in the off season.
I firmly believe we have some of the best fans in the league with instances such as the works going on to sort the ground out, the efforts of the supporters trust & instances like the fans sponsorship of Wildie.
Yes we have a right to moan about our teams performance but I think our constant moaning about issues such as pies/bars & entry to the ground need to be put in context. I can only imagine the hard work and efforts that must have happened down at BV for the first home game of the season.
It is all too easy to have a go from the comfort of our armchairs when I for one couldn't even begin to organise such a big occasion on such a small number of staff. Yes there will be mistakes but us as fans need to support and get behind them.
Rant over.'"
Keep ranting mate......+1 from me...

| There is no doubt that MC has done a superb job in taking us from the brink of admin to where we are now.
Patience is the key, a trait that sporting fans are not usually known for.
I don't think the hard work and stress of running a club like ours will ever go away but, as we start to get some results things will get better all round.
Come on MC, realist the excellent work done and despite the moaners, EVERYBOBY appreciates the job being done.
The problem with twitter and the forum is that there is always a knee jerk reaction on here and in the bigger picture, things are never that bad.
The highs are not as high as they appear and the lows are not as low as they are portrayed.
More of us need to remember just where we were 3 1/2 months ago !

| I guess after working near miracles to get to the start line, the reduction in capacity was a real kick in the nads.
I think MC was quoted as wanting a 6.5k average crowd this season to stay buoyant and he should, quite rightly, have expected at least that figure for the first game. The light at the end of the tunnel was in fact a train coming the other way.
With only 3 matches at home in the next 3 months, cash flow will be a big challenge.
Maybe we need to be a bit more proactive in getting the numbers up, and perhaps this is somewhere the Supporters' Trust could take a lead?
With season ticket sales being fewer than we would have been hoped, we need to push advance ticket sales. Getting people to commit to attending, (especially after a couple of pints with their mates?) and guaranteeing entry could be the key.
If we had agents in different areas around Wakefield coordinating sales through local businesses (shops/pubs etc.) and amateur clubs, the numbers could improve. I've seen posters advertising the next home game in such places in Stanley, perhaps we could extend this by making tickets available. Sale or return basis, with a deadline a few days before the match?
There will be some cost, printing tickets etc., but if the coordinators/agents were volunteers, it should be minimal.
Another possibility would be to have tickets available on-line which could be printed out (like Salford?), but maybe security and technology costs would be prohibitive?
Worth a try?

| No one has done more for this club than MC has in the last few months and you will get the fans throwing a teddy after performances like Thursdays but that's frustration and not aimed at MC.As for the bars etc lets remember the club have just taken that side in house again so give them chance.

| Don't let us lump constructive criticism in with whinging for the sake of it though.
