So now my rage has gone down and the apathy hit in today after the Hall news.
I have no issue with Dagger or Hall for wanting out if it was at his bequest.
We know Carter wants out. I’ve said a few things I thought I’d never say about someone who at one point saved our amazing club.
When the heart rules the head, as I’m sure most on here know.

So it’s maybe time for us fans to take direct action to if not stop this season from falling but to build out club back together in the future for us all. We don’t all have to agree with one another’s points of view but with respect for each other.

Is it time we put our money where our mouths are and look to build a fans consortium?
1 member one vote, a monthly subscription and either a board member with money backing from the rest to compliment other board members or the whole club with monthly income.
We’re not getting that wealthy backer are we, but we could be that man. One and everyone of us. No club people telling us to just give, we would be the club.
I know we are thin on the ground as fans especially with money to loose but say 500 at £100 month gives us £600,000
And what if we could get 1000 plus. 2000 and drop it to £50 and we 1.2 mil a year.
Start a board to get it going, get members then run it like a proper members club. One member one vote.
Could we take our future into our own hands? Are we grown up enough? Are there others out there who like me are getting fed up of waiting for the one rich person who isn’t coming?
Let’s us the obvious hard core fans a least debate this and maybe change our own fortunes for the sake of the 150 yrs that have passed. My grandad would be turning in his grave, my mother gave up after Willie was sacked and she’s 76 and been since she was a toddler. I can’t take the arguments at my parents anymore as dad still goes.
Could we do our past families and future families proud and make the change ourselves???
Can we bring the Dreadnoughts back to life???

A very difficult time for fans to put £100 a month into the club. Especially after some already giving £500 for 'shares'.

With the current high inflation in the UK and people struggling to make ends meet, i don't think you have a cat in hells chance of getting your idea up and going. Sorry, but a lot of Trinity fans have been putting in extra money lately and they are getting robbed.

Nice sentiment but given what else is going in the country right now then there’s zero chance of it happening. The club has already bled the same fans dry of money time & time again, including the very recent share scheme that isn’t really a share scheme. The well has truly been emptied and right now good will towards the club is in very short supply by all but the most loyal of its disciples. Also it seems a lot of Wakey fans don’t like each other! It could be carnage! So we are just going to have to suck it up and keep watching from the outside for now.

My dad was the same. He's 78 and has been going since he was a kid but said he was done when Willie's contract wasn't renewed (don't think it was technically a sacking).

With the greatest respect, if 500 people were here who could put £100 a month in, they would have taken up the share offer from the club.
I'd be surprised if you got 2 people to do it, including yourself.

One can only try to have a different idea to throw out there.
I wouldn’t put money into the clubs share scheme they tried. Give them the money just to say I can have a certificate with no bloody say in what happened to it. I did that last time the club sold shares I have the very expensive certificate to prove it like so many others on here lol
Yes I’d be the first btw if people were up for it. I have ate, slept and breathed trinity since I went to Wembley at 5 yrs old in 79’ and In my pushchair before that.
Maybe this is probably 10yrs too late I know. Times are bloody hard, rugby seems less important than heating etc.
But I’d give more for a proper say than I would the club to just spend on my behalf. I don’t dislike the board past n present as people have tried and to some point succeeded in differing ways but unfortunately we’re now run by accounts as having businesses in the past we all know business need accountants but accountants don’t actually run successful businesses except accountants lol if you get my drift.

I'm sure if you took a loan out for 15 years at £200 a month they'd give you some voting rights.

Nice post Pop Tart , think a lot of us 75 year old felt like packing it in when W Poaching went As said he was on the look out for younger players . I feel less angry now ,in fact was thinking of stopping my donation to help bring on the Academy that I have been paying since Glover took over.Great idea what you said on paper, but people are having to watch there spending with what is going on in the world .Was in hospitality last week and when the Coach came in you could tell the fans were not too interested about what he said

Times are tough and RL in Wakefield wasn't important, before these hard times - it's even less now I'm afraid.
Perhaps there's never been a better time for the club to be run by an accountant - another leader might borrow in the hope of spending to get out of this mess but who's available anyway?
There's only one thing to do this season, and that's for those guys who have got us into this mess to get us out of it.
We need players back, Bowden, Tanginoa etc but more than that we need a leader on the field and I cannot remember the last time we had one. Ashurst comes across as a nice guy and no doubting his commitment but when times are tough you need a Mr Nastie on the field.
Unfortunately the likes of Turner and Karalius don't seem to exist anymore - how I wish we had the likes!

Proctor is absolutely that leader. We need him back on the pitch, and fit.

Turner now there was a leader Can remember when we played Wigan in the Challenge Cup Final .Wigan were all over us in the first 15 minutes , And you could ear Turner laying the law down above the roar of the crowd

I already put my money where my mouth is to the tune of a grand. I feel very let down by people, like yourself, who I wouldn't have heard a bad word said about.
I don't think I could justify 100 a month. But 50 maybe. I'd certainly be willing to discuss it but I wouldn't commit to it till we had the numbers you state signed up.

People moan about paying £5+ a pint, no chance you'll get any more cash from the supporter base, certainly not beyond the £500 somebhave shelled out earlier this year.
