All very sad

Firstly, please accept my apology for this rather long post, but I wanted to post something “positive” and it lead on from there…

At times like this it is difficult to find “positives” (not the right word, but all I can come up with), but here goes..

1 The rugby league community – just have a look at the messages of support from all areas of the game and you will understand what a great sport we are involved in.

2 The RFL – often called, but they did the right thing when the game was called off on Sunday and for allowing us to call off the game on Friday if we wanted to

3 Sky – ditto RFL – could easily have forced us to play the game, but understood that some things are more important.

4 Wakefield Trinity Management– Again often called, but this time been a “family run” club is an asset and will help us through this dark time.

5 John Kear – without him at the helm, we would be in trouble.

6 Wakefield Trinity club and fans – we have pulled together before, and will do so again. The result on Friday doesn’t matter, playing the game is the result.

I close my post with a copy of the sean bean sky football advert words, with football changed to RL. I saw it again last night on the internet and it sort of sums up how I feel at the moment..



Life

It can be difficult

You know that

We all need someone to rely on

Someone who's going to be there

Someone who's going to make you feel like you belong

Someone constant

It's ectasy, anguish, joy and despair
Part of our history
Part of our country
And it will be part of our future
It's theatre, art, war and love
It should be predictable ... but never is
It's a feeling that can't be explained but we spend our lives explaining it
It's our religion
We do not apologise for it
We do not deny it
They're our team, our family and our life.
Rugby League
We know how you feel about it
'Cos we feel the same

Good post & so true

Agree with all that.

And also Celtic, Kear has had a lot of praise for them.

strength in adversity, Can only make the wildcats family stronger

So true, sums up the feelings of all.

Sums it up rather well Miami.

Should be posted on every RL teams site, we can all learn a lot form those words.

Id like this to be played on Friday, its Bill Withers "Lean on Me"

Sometimes in our life
We all have have pain
We all have sorrows

But if we are wise
We know that
There's always tomorrow

Lean on me
When you're not strong
And ill be your friend
Ill help you carry on
For it wont be long
Till im gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please
Swallow your pride
If I have faith
You need to borrow
For no one can feel
The times of your need
That you wont let show

Just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem
That you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me
When you're not strong
And ill be your friend
Ill help you carry on
For it wont be long
Till im gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem
That you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load
You have to bare
That you cant carry
Im right up the road
And ill share your load
If you just call me

Those words choke me everytime!!

Very fitting, ring the club and ask them to play it.

been told that the teams wont be running out to any music on friday night

Could be a good thing. I often find the music drowns out the applause and cheers as the teams enter the field. This way both sets of players will know how much they are appreciated by the spectators. I would hope both teams run out together.

Saints will come out first and both teams will be walking out and line up side by side I believe followed by Leon's family.

Read somewhere (sporting life?) that in all superleague and championship matches this weekend both teams will run out side by side.

and the minutes silence will be upheld at our Lewis' match under 11s on sat

Another touching piece from Kear.
