Hopefully over the next 7 days you will get a new owner who has the clubs interests at heart and wants to do the best for the club, however let me pose this question - if the new owner decides that the best course of action would be not apply for a super league licence and drop down a league and start to build a strong team who were winning but would cost less to fund due to the lower wage bill and bring through players through your own ranks who had the club in their hearts- how would you the fans feel

I'd still go to watch

In some ways, and dependent on the situation, it could probably be the best long term scenario for the club.
But we'll see, and while we have a sniff, we'll fight on.

in fairness i will watch us whatever league we are in its in my blood, wakefields my city and my team followed them since i was 6 yrs old through good and bad times as long as theres a trinity i will be there , in all probability we may have to drop down a league and regroup but with new owners a team that shows the pride in the shirt and puts the effort in and try there best and enthusiastic new owners backing us alls good for me

so will i..doesnt matter where!

I'll go. I would imagine 60-70% of our core support would carry on supporting the club if we don't win a franchise. Should we build a top championship side then its quite possible our fan base could actually grow especially if we are playing in new surroundings.

There's no level playing field in super league so it wouldn't matter to me if we dropped a league and let another team get 5h1t on for three years

The club will be taken over next week and if rumours are right it will be an exciting future for sport in the City of Wakefield and Trinity being a SL side will be part of the plan. I'd expect the licence to be applied for playing out of oakwell until Newmarket is ready I feel although we I are in a very weak position at the moment things do change very quickly and there is alot of water to go under the bridge until the decision is made. There are only 3 big clubs in RL Wigan Leeds and hull fc then you've got saints warrington Bradford and hull k r as the group behind them, a well run WTRLFC could easily fit into that group

I will follow follow the Trinity till I die where ever they are...

As a 'Fax fan I completely and wholeheartedly support your comment, that's what makes this the greatest game,irrespective of my clubs' ambitions

I will watch whatever but for me we are still superleague yep we have gone through the harvester but we are 1 of the original finders of RL and with new owners hopefully willing to put money in and a possibility of a new ground . Its exciting times and if they want to kick us out SL will be a boring place with artificial garbage clubs

A very sensible course of action would be to seek assurances from the rfl that the door will remain open to the Championship teams as it has been the past 3 years.
Sign a core block of current players capable of winning virtually every competition in the lower leagues and preparing for 3 years on the road back to SL.

With Newmarket completed and a winning team we will be a very attractive option. Especially if the expansion of London and Wales continues to be underwritten. The long held notion of "healthy heartland before expansion" might not seem so insane after 3 more years of underwriting expansionist franchises.

I couldn't agree more with posters who rightly see us as being able to contend with the vast majority of SL teams, we've just been run incredibly bad for the past 2 decades and need to be essentially demolished and built again from the ground up- in more than one way. I honestly believe that a well run Championship side would be a lot more of attractive to the "floaters" over the recent SL model. With a new 12,000 seater ground and a well financed, well promoted club, with a winning team could attract 5,000 average in the Championship. And when we achieve our goal of returning to the elite we have a solid (& happy) fan base to expand upon once again- with the facilities and finance that we deserve.

Our new BoD can deliver all this.

However if a certain man wanted to I'm sure he could invest in the RFL and SL so to speak, freeing up enough monies to maintain/increase the current level of funding for all clubs, whilst being able to expand to include 2/1 more teams/team.

don't give up people who knows what the next couple of months brings ! We are super league !!
