Well said. The fact that this is still an issue is bizarre. Don't like how the club is being run or decisions made, in reality, it's tough luck. Carter owns it, he can do what he wants to run the club in a way he sees it as staying afloat.

I'll say this, for far too long, some individual supporters were indulged by those in charge. I'm glad that seems to be no longer the case. This is a business, not a social club.

Can someone explain the legislation that we are working to that is causing this and why other clubs do not have he same issues? The whole issue appears to be health and safety gone mad. Appears you can't bring a piece of fruit into the ground as it can be seen as a missile but you can buy a beer in a plastic bottle which in my view is a more potent missile.

Utter madness.

It could be Adam!, one things for sure its not Gaz, he's not sensible enough

Behave

Although you may know each other, the forum is built on people knowing they can stay anonymous.
Lets keep it that way. No outing each other. It's up to the individual to use their own name if they wish.

I'm Spartacus!

But your petty jealousy against anyone who stuck their hand up and tried to help is irrelevant here - Al has never rubbed shoulders with the management and has always stood shoulder to shoulder with the 'man on the terrace'.

I feel really sad about this whole episode, and whilst the current situation continues, WTW will be forever that bit poorer for it.

With reference to the WW1 'celebrations' ongoing - I'd want Al at the side of me every day of the week!

I wish I could broker a deal!

It might be a Business and not a social club but can you imagine any of the super stores rubbing 50,000 customers up the wrong way and that custom staying away or going elsewhere they would soon have a massive drop in income.I can see it from the clubs side not wanting certain stuff brought into the ground but can also see it from a fans side when some cock sure steward who thinks hes God without any manners can do as he feels what he wants.

Sorry to say this because on occasion you talk sense.

However to suggest that a club like WTRLFC is a business not a social club is frankly the dumbest post ever IMHO.

It's the exact opposite and this club absolutely depends on the goodwill and hard work of those "over indulged fans" and MC will realise that hopefully sooner rather than later - you really come across as bitter and there is no place for it in a small community club involved in a very small sport with very little money, get a grip.

(This is not about Al, by the way, never met the guy, and is just an observation from the past decade or so.)

No petty jealousy here. I admire those who help, I don't have the time to sadly, and don't have a problem with those. I've always had a problem with those who were quick to brown nose whoever was in charge for their own ends. Management should always keep as far away from supporters as possible.

Those who were quick to slurp up to Rogerson, Richardson, Elston and Glover then kick them once it all went wrong. Those are the ones who do my head in.

If it means upsetting some to run the club on as close to an even keel as can be possible in sport, so be it. The long term future of Wakefield Trinity is far more important than any of us individually.

If I come across as bitter, so be it. When you see "super fans" banging on about being loyal and stuff on here when scrabbling for freebees, you start to get annoyed. C'est la vie.

Apart from mentioning about renewing my season ticket within the context of this thread, I along with others' have kept out of this Bigal debate, along with snowie and bazz I pride myself on being a friend of his and his family. If your post was aimed at me then I'm sorry to say it's misplaced, it was simply a bit of banter meant for noboby else than those two to try and lighten the mood on a sad state of affairs,
if I am wrong then please accept my apologies for jumping in with both feet.
