| Huge, huge thanks MC, without you, there may not have been a Wakefield Trinity and certainly not a Wakefield Trinity in SL.
Every fan wants their club to spend, spend, spend and to be successful and MC has copped a fair bit of stick over the years for "not doing more".
However, what he has done for the club has been superb.
From total basket case, in an old shabby ground, to one of the best run clubs in SL and all on a relative shoe string and finally, a "new" stadium to enjoy.
Things look way, way better than they did 10 years ago. Thank you !

| Wonder if the new owner of Wakefield AFC, has considered investing in us, as they are now moving in.
By all accounts, he, and the company he owns, look to have a quid or two.

| The ground is the issue really, as far as I can tell. New stadium that generates income that buys players who attract the crowds. I think what we are getting is three years too late, and we all know the blame doesn't lie with the club as it is at the moment. I think the stadium a few years ago would have attracted the bigger support he was after. It wasn't going to happen with the stadium as it is.
As soon as I saw the IMG criteria, I knew we were done. He must have done too.
The problem is that we are just no longer competitive. I don't expect us to win games anymore, and no one is going to shell out £25 to watch a poor team in a poor stadium.
Chicken and egg, self-fulfilling prophecy, whatever, but he's done a sterling job. The future is grim though.

Idiotic comment as usual.

Underhanded maybe, but idiotic it is not. Football is after all MC's first love is it not?
If MC wants to go do something else, and that something else is be involved in an exciting new footballing venture, who are we to undermine that dream?
I don't think that MC being involved in Wakefield AFC would ultimately be a bad thing actually, read of that what you will.

I'd normally agree but I don't really see anything wrong if Carter wanted to do this.
Clearly Egg doesn't know either way but if that's what he wanted to do then why not.
