Wakefield Trinity became Wakefield Trinity Wildcats and now there seems to be a quiet campeign to drop the 'Trinity' part of our name via the back door.

The Twitter account is 'Wakefield Wildcats' as is the Facebook page. Journalists and TV presenters constantly refer to the club as 'Wakefield Wildcats' so are we witnessing the slow but premeditated deletion of our historical name?

What would you like to see happen?

My stance is pretty well documented. The stealth change has been happening for a while now, although the Guardian is a shining light with its insistence on referring to the club as Wakefield Trinity. Hopefully in the none too distant future we can drop the childish add on.

When I started watching at 8 in the late 1980s, I would have been the younger generation at the time. At no time did I wish for a cartoon cat to keep me interested.

The “Wildcats” moniker is way past its sell buy, Trinity on the other hand is sacrosanct (hell, my dog is even called it)

I’ve had enough this weekend, what with a trip to Amsterdam, followed by the cancellation of Twin Peaks – I’ve only been waiting 25 years.

But that pales into the number of years I’ve longed to see Trinity win something of some importance, but I suggest to the club they do it quick to ease my conscience when I hopefully relocate to Portugal.

Knowing my luck on all things rugby related, Mr Carter would probably come & live is the same area, just to remind me of our own personal betrays.

Trinity all the way, grew up with it and still call them by it now.

Didn't like it as a kid and still don't.

Can drop the Wildcard name revert back to the original badge but keep Mascot for match days. St Helens don't seem to do too bad without marketing gimmicks. Just need a well run club, some local players to identify with and professional performance on the pitch even up against better opposition.

Trinity for me.
I don't like the cartoon cat - childish - so revert to the traditional fleur de lys or a modern version of it. Everyone loves Daddy Cool. Keep him as the mascot and if anyone wants to call us the Wildcats as a nickname, so be it. We can still sell wildcat merchandise, Nicknames come and go sometimes eg. Dreadnoughts but we are Wakefield Trinity and Trinity has to stay.
