Mopsey bringing it to the hole!

more petrol

I agree, hardly ever agree with Mopsey and give a bit of flack his way, BUT this is a well thought out post with reasoning and not a load of vile that looks like a vendetta.

I cant say I agree entirely about some of the issues and ways to solve them but I respect his opinion and can see his desire to see the club move forward albeit in not the ways I would do them.

Whether you agree with him or not, you have to say that it's a sorry state of affairs when someone who clearly cares so much for the club feels so disillusioned and let down - supporters are the life blood of any team, and the club aren't doing nearly enough to keep even some of it's most loyal supporters, let alone attract new ones.

Having said all that - I'm starting to feel that little spark of optimism I do before every game, and think we can win on Saturday! (OK Nurse, I'll take my tablets now...)

Yes but the Mopsey were selling all drinks for 2 quid at the weekend so he's had time to sober up

all this stems from years of depression nowt much to shout about for years and nearly dropped down into the lower league,

we have improved in the last two seasons to an extent that we looked close to competing with the bigger clubs above us, but the present slump has made many feel that they can't step backwards again,

while many feel that they can't keep coming to support what is our critical part of our future it just goes to show that even mopsey for all his beliefs can at least still show his presence at the matches and that is what we still need,

I aint a fan of the board and feel that they don't always want to listen but at they have to else they are going to be left with nothing, you can't knock their effort to the community with the trust and learning zone

you have hit the nail on the head about wanting to get players to play for the club but how do we do that, we haven't the money to keep talent players even if they did,

a viscous circle which will spiral out of control the more the attendances drop.

while I'm not happy for second best we are in the super league and as fans we should at least help the club in this and the next season to maintain this position

so it a case of gritting your teeth and getting on with it

Yer just cant help yerself can yer, it just comes out of yer gob just like them ten pints and that keeebabb does every friday night two reasons why your off to match Saturday one is me mams having an Anne Summers party and yer bard outer house cos of yer leering through the keyhole last time she had one, and they all said they wouldnt come again if you were there and secondly yer off to match instead of the club because youve confiscated our young uns ticket with him being grounded for hanging about with that lass from next door but one round the back of the garages, if her dad owned a pub instead of just being a Cas fan it would be different I suppose when youve gone to match me and our kid are gonna use your laptop and go on the trin forum and talk some sense for a change , that'll confuse em all

u dont agree wiv what ? ALL OF IT, which bits ?

"Local players who care about the club" soon become professionals with an agent, looking for the best pay packet, when they are successful.

Overall, it’s a well thought out post and I can't help but agree with most of it, however the quoted section is frighteningly true!

We have to temper our despondency with a little bit of reality. The last 35 years have been tough on the fans, the club and its image and peoples wider perceptions of its worth.

As stewards of Wakefield Trinity the various Chairmen and Directors, who are charged with protecting and preserving its legacy, have lurched from crisis to fire fight and back again.

Sometimes those in charge have been the problem and sometimes they've been the saviour but I have no illusions about how difficult the task is or has been for all of them. All we can do is as fans is support the club through thick and thin and hope that one day we find the ingredients that will return us to the top for a while.

I know this much, without the club to support over the last 40 years I would have missed out on some emotional extremes that have both tested and elated me. I've had my head in my hands in despair and my arms raised in celebration. What else might I have done that would have taken me on that rollercoaster journey, fishing, cinema, a ride on my bike, I think not.

So I'll hang on for a while longer and see how the present challenges and dilemmas pan out, who knows
maybe this time.......
