Dear Board of Directors,
I was at my first final in 62, then 68, 79 and then the Yorkshire Cup Final win. Highs, average and many lows have followed. Thin and thinner as many say.
That’s 60+ years of support, many players and boards of directors. Many proposed sites for stadia etc., etc.
This season has left me empty, sad and very angry, like many.
It does seem like capitulation, there can’t be any other reason for recruiting the quality and low number of players now wearing the red white and blue. Everything seems to be on the cheap. An inexperienced rookie coach was an impossible gamble.
We, as supporters all comment on the absurdity of the contracts given to Lineham and Gaskell by a former coach and what seems to be the worst pair of overseas signings in recent memory, Proctor and Atoni (I do remember Jarrod Hickey!). Pathetic performances, pathetic stats, minimal playing minutes and always rewarded with another game,(when not on holiday). Why? Players used to be dropped for being useless.
Your club’s weary supporters are watching this insane management and inept rugby and leadership and slowly but surely slipping away from care and interest in the game and club.
I am in that bracket. The first season in around 20 not buying two season tickets and now paying when I can be bothered. Believe me, many in my age bracket feel and are doing the same. Forty years in amateur rugby league gives you a lot of contacts, these lifetime friends don’t lie when they speak.
Your communication and social media output is not good enough, is there a simple reason for this? Can’t you be bothered?
17 games left, no structure, no plan, no leadership, no points, no change. No supporters and no income will be the result.
I have tried to be measured in comment and I am sure you read the vitriol on Facebook etc so why are you allowing this decline to continue without intervention unless decline is the plan.
I intend to have two more games and if as expected, no change, then that’s it for me. I’ll do what Kevin Proctor does and go on holiday.
It’s in your court, it always has been. Is there any sort of a plan to change anything? Should I hold my breath?
A very dejected lifetime Winless Wakefield Trinity Nil supporter.

Nice Post and I'm sure you are not alone but you know there are no directors on here right?

How old do you think I am for crying out loud!
Hopefully someone will get a message across to them if they can’t read as well.

We have three directors but only one is to blame for this terrible squad. Things will not improve whilst ever he signs players.

Sadly, one of the most heartfelt and sincere messages that I've seen listed on this forum in my eight years on here. No anger, no venom, no sarcasm, just a good and honest post. I agree wholeheartedly with what Manuel states and just to rub salt in the wounds all this in our 150th year when we should be celebrating, and my sixty seventh year as a supporter. Very, very sad. Come on someone down at Belle Vue. Give manuel and ALL other supporters some explanation please. We deserve one.

Give over they are all over this board and even if they weren't there is plenty of the Carter police willing to inform him

You will not get explanations only excuses and pointing the blame everywhere except his own ineptitude on running a rugby League club

Manuel don’t forget you are not allowed to say what you think on these threads unless it’s positive. I’m with you 100%.

Petitions are old school but maybe an option, even an online route.
