Absolute success would be the "business" growing and profitable and Trophies in the cabinet.
However, any improvement in last year (on and off the field) would also be success.
Right now, seeing the ground improvements begin and a solid season on the pitch would be a great season.
This would show that the club are indeed making progress both on and off the field.
Still dreaming of Wembley though
Imagine getting to Wembley and not being able to attend, would be just our luck....
I agree, success is relative, it`s also personal based on expectations of outcomes so not only is there a massive difference in opinion on what a successful campaign or a failure is club by club but it will also vary massively in a clubs fanbase.
In my own head, I try to find a better word for "success" in what I refer to above as I think there is a massive difference between relative success and what I would call actual or absolute success, that been Silverware 100% IMO, however if we made the grand final that would be a great success for Wakefield Trinity as we stand relative to our current circumstances.

| I can't equate financial prudence with lack of ambition. All but 3 clubs operated at a loss at the last reckoning and these include the perennial winners who are consistently able to buy success and outbid any efforts of other clubs to usurp their position. This situation will persist whilst the SL clubs run the game and they are allowed to change the salary cap requirements to suit their own ends.
Wakefield Trinity has successfully negotiated 23 consecutive seasons in Super League, defying all odds and with several self inflicted disasters heaped upon us - but we are still there with a chip in the game and a chance to shine this year.
As for success. Last year saw some great development of young Wakefield lads into Super League standard players led by Jordi Crowther's massive improvement to a point where he reminds me of Nigel Bell, a true club legend. Established players should rightly be concerned that there are several youngsters pressing claims for positions they may feel they own. So, my hope for this season is that all our senior players show a marked improvement in their game but may be unable to hold off the tidal wave of talent coming through to take their places.

what I want this year is a change to attitude I do expect a loss along the way as I'd be foolish to think otherwise I want to see someone laying the law down and I want to see a unity within the group even if the going gets tough'"
Amen to that.
