maybe we should wait and see exactly who is owed what before jumping to any conclusions.
as the lines between wakefield trinity s accounts and those of ted richardson seem to be somewhat blurred.
it is common sense that no one would buy the club from ted as they could not be sure

a. what they were buying
b. whether it was his to sell

presumabley this was the reason anyone intending buying the club would choose this route.

we all hope this is a totally different case to crusaders admin, where the same owners simply carried on minus the debts. as no one here wants this to be the case in wakefield.

That happened didn't it? icon_beat.gif

That's the difference between Fax fans and Leigh fans. Expectations and a dose of reality. Get some TV boy icon_wink.gif

It's about time the RFL started to support teams in the heartland of rugby league instead of bending over backwards to expand to places with little or no interest.

What will probably happen if a big money investor comes in is that they will want promises from the RFL that they will get a SL spot from 2012 onwards otherwise what is the point in investing. Interesting to see what happens but you would n't want to chuck your money in if you get kicked out in 12 months would you?

Quote: Sal Paradise "Pre packs seldom actually work - the problem with them is the same people who got them into trouble are the very people who are going to run the new company? In this case Ted and Denise!!!

Most creditors have become very wary of pre-packs and as a result the promised holy grail simply fails to materialise - obtaining credit is difficult so cash flow gets squeezed as the owners are usually overtrading.

Wakey have little/no chance of getting a franchise - so in the short term they would be better dropping down a division with a view to doing a Widnes and rebuilding for the round of franchises in 4 years time'"


This is where posters like you fall down. Should we gain a new owner who matches RFL requirements and Newmarket takes a positive turn (watch this space) then we have every chance of gaining a franchise.

The only reason there is any interest in the club is down to Newmarket, which may end up being Teds great legacy not that he will get any credit. No one wants a BV based Trinity, that club died yesterrday. Everyone wants a Newmarket based Wildcats including the RFL, that is the potential club they are after. That's the trump card and the only game in town, I'd suggest that the amount of interest in the club leads me to believe there is a lot of life left in Newmarket and thus Trinity reborn icon_idea.gif

Is it really Ted's legacy? A man who wrote that Belle Vue was not fit for top level sport in 1993 and it takes nearly 20 years for his 'legacy' to get anywhere near complete? Piggy backing on any scheme to get a stadium for free/on the cheap maybe.

Yes - because someone had to do it.

Short memories here - before 2004 and SWAG there was absolutely no appetite at all for any new stadium in Wakefield. We now have a local authority who are actively involved in trying to deliver this for us as part of a team that included Ted.

Sometimes you have to separate emotion from fact.

Doesn't matter what you think of Ted or his motives Newmarket is his baby, I can tell you that as fact from my SWAG connection.

In the dark days after the Thornes collapse and Council betrayal (why are people not frothing at the mouth on that one which was a far bigger betrayal than anything Ted has managed) he got off his backside and literally rang up any developer with a piece of land, he struck lucky. At the time he was the only one with the nouse to do it, and without that no one would be the least bit interested in the club now. No one at SWAG will take credit for Newmarket, we were still licking our wounds when Ted pulled out that particular rabbit!

Today would be the first day in a 100+ years Trinity did not exist but for Newmarket IMHO.

This is not an attempt by me to reform Ted reputation on here, clearly he has made mistakes and has clearly suffered a down turn in his own fortunes but that doesn't seem to matter a jot.

However let's for once let fact get in the way of a good vendetta. Whether by design or accident Newmarket is all that stands between us and oblivion.

Quite ironic that the man many blame for steering us towards the abyss may end up saving us by default - what pain what will cause some one here

Talking of betrayals perhaps you would like to explain to the fans on here why we did not get the land on Denby Dale Rd after Yorks CC declined Wakefield council's offer to rehouse them from Headingley, or perhaps that was not Teds fault either.
