For a club with our resources, we should be finishing in the bottom 2,3,4 league places.
Clearly, anything above this is indeed punching above our weight.
It cant be stressed too strongly just how well MC and Chester are performing.
As I said in a thread on the VT, Trinity are pound for pound THE best side in SL and if you were to give our budget to ANY of the coaches in the top 4, they would be nowhere near 5th spot in the comp.
Nuff said'"
I wasn't denouncing you guys at all, was an observation you are doing extremely well. It does just go to show when people talk about Wakey fans on these boards and their comments, try give praise to the team and still getit thrown back at you like you have come on slating the side. Seems fans of other teams cant win at all with you lot at times jeez

I agree with your original comment. Although we have done very well considering our resources, after a few good seasons of relative success at the right end of the table, perception starts to change, from plucky over overachievers to a team with a good squad who should be up there. It's a bit like what happened with Cas, Powell got them up at the right end of the table after being near the bottom and people thought they'd end up back there but he's kept their standards high year on year since and now are considered almost a given for top 4 nowadays. We're not quite there yet but not far off. When you look at the quality in the team now it's night and day compared to just a few years ago, I don't know how MC has done it but whatever we spend they're worth every penny.

Without doubt the work done by MC has been phenomenal. Also with Chester being able to attract the right level of player whilst staying in budget and then improving the player also has laid the foundations for you going forward. Maybe as you say with Cas and Powell there is something with the coach feeling at home at his home town club which challenges them to make them the best they can be.
It is pretty obvious that slight bit more cap available would allow you to possibly push that little further, but without getting into the politics of it all if a new stadium was able to be built, given the product on the pitch being as good as it is would a new stadium attract enough fans back to allow you to spend the full cap?

Sorry Mr Pimp, I wasnt meaning to have a go at you so, apologies if my reply was a little strong.
In a way you are right and at some point the mindset of the club and players needs to be that of a side that really wants to challenge at the top of the league (they may already have the belief, time will tell).
Personally, much as I want Trinity to win the league and rule the world, I'm not sure that we actually can until we are able to spend the cap and truly compete with the "big 4", in a way, it shouldn't be possible, although Leicester City had their year, when spending a fraction of the big sides in the Premier League.
Sustained competition at the top of the pile will require sustained spend on the squad.
Again, sorry if you felt I was having a pop at you.

No worries at all. I totally agree that the off field and playing side has done remarkably well. I genuinely think you can push for the 5 next year and will watch with interest. Your pack is one to be envied throughout the league for a start. Hopefully Broughy can provide that last bit of spark to get you into the 5

Without a doubt, a brand new modern stadium would do absolute wonders for the Club in a number of ways, from attracting new fans both home and away, sponsorship and more money from hospitality, as well as giving Trinty a base to train from. if it was ever to happen, under the leadership of MC and Co we would thrive imo, similar to how Warrington have when they moved. But unfortunately, the Community Stadium looks less likely now than it did 8 years ago when it got full planning and was passed by the Secretary of State. it's all turned into a bit of a bad joke tbh.

Definitely seems that way and a massive shame for you guys. Just seems a whole political mess. Hope something does come to fruition as it sounds whats needed to really push you on
