I'm aware that people can be hyper sensitive on here but I was wondering, I've watched Wakey for 25 years home and away etc etc.
Now this season I won't go again until I am entertained, yes I love the club but common sense dictates that I want to spend my leisure time and money on being entertained.
I suppose my question is for those of you that still go religiously even though and I feel justified in saying this the product currently is atrocious, what keeps you going even when there is nothing visually of interest.
I've often wondered this of diehards, ill stress again I'm am not judging you at all just interested in your drivers.

They are the team from the city of my birth. They are the one constant in a sadly changing world. We are not fashionable so the supporters of WT are that true RL followers. I have only seen us win two trophies in all the years the Yorkshire Cup and the first division championship but I will always remember those nights, if you support Wigan or Leeds these would mean nothing but to us everything.
We have a lower threshold for considering success and I can't believe why you and some on here think this season is any different to any other we have had. I think that because the team we have put together is far better than anyone would think possible some have unrealistic views of what they expect to see. I have seen many performances like those recently so why should this cause supporters to be so negative. I can only put it down to the reintroduction of relegation and the lack of faith that we will survive. The one thing I have learned over the years is that we are fighters, we won't win every game but we will surprise a few, we just have to hope that they are enough to stay up.

The most fervent supporters will go no matter what is being dished up on the pitch!
I go to every home match because I have season ticket. Not just that though, I think most diehard supporters go match by match hoping to see some improvement and encourage the team accordingly.
You may think it's bad now but you should have seen some of the players wearing the RWB in the 1980's playing the likes of Huyton etc in front of crowds sometimes just in excess of 1000! - think yourself lucky nowadays! icon_razz.gif

Two reasons.

3 hours peace and quiet away from her indoors. icon_smile.gif

The "tales of the unexpected" you just never know what you are going to get with Wakefield, don't really wish to miss the away win at Wigan etc that comes out of the blue

You say you won't go again until you are entertained. How will you know if you don't go?

This is Wakey, we are likely to put in a great performance against someone unexpectedly and you won't be there. You'll see the result, think "that's better" and now I will go again as it looks like we can be entertaining. You'll turn up at the next game and we'll get battered and be awful.
So the reason I go to every (or as many as I possibly can) game is because I don't want to miss those occasional games where we do something unexpected. I'd love it if we could do it every week but I'm realistic enough to know that just isn't going to happen - you just have to enjoy it when it does.

Take the midweek game in 1994 at Wigan as a prime example - We went there having been beaten in the cup 2 weeks earlier, Tuigamala was making his Wigan debut, everyone expected Wigan to walk all over us and Henry Paul ran the show and we came away victorious.

That's why I go, for moments like that.

Used to be a die hard but sadly no more, have a season ticket and can't see me ever not buying one.
Away games are a rarity these days because of time and money.

Love the club and I will always support WTW but lost interest in the game and the way its run.

Sums it up perfectly for me as well.

The start of Super League and our "expulsion" from the top flight almost stopped me going to watch Wakey and I fell out with RL at that point and missed a couple of seasons.
Started going again in the second year of SL but, the constant meddling with the game by the RFL, together with Wakefield's financial perils, make the game far more difficult to embrace that it used to be.
The 2 x 12 and 3 x 8 structure leaves clubs like ours under permanent threat of relegation and I firmly believe that we will end up with a 10 team SL in the near future, which will be unlikely to include Trinity.
We are certainly not a club for glory hunters and we do lurch from crisis to crisis, which prevents us from attracting some new fans.
However, there have been some great moments over the last 25 years (sadly, not enough of them) and this is why we keep coming back for more.

Another drubbing at Headingley was a far more attractive proposition than staying in watching some egotist on a chat show talking to a bunch of even more egotistical celebs.

That sums me up perfectly, is it an age thing or just the way the game is going?

Being a kid in Wakefield in the 60's meant Trinity was just a major part of your life.
Still the same now and, although I would prefer to watch a winning team, results never really come into it. Like others I have dropped off away games recently mainly because I've increased the amount of cash I put into Trinity direct. It kills to see Agar destroying the club but he'll be gone soon and Wakefield, in what ever form and what ever level, will still be around I hope. I'll be there, miserable as sin!
