Don't have a dog and don't drink if that helps.

Just trying to educate myself in the "ways" of running a RL club for when i win the lottery

And i like to keep my head above the sand.

Good luck with the lottery, but don't let anyone kid you into 'investing' in any sports club. Personally I could think of better things to do with my money if I won it, although I will always watch Trinity as a speccy.

As for heads in sand - its literally not my business how the club is run, my interest stops at being a supporter of the team. Try it, you might find it makes you less bilious.

Can you not see the link between how the club is run and the experience for us as supporters ?

I no first hand that the club doesn't run properly money wise, Iv heard many roomers including that AG is pumping 60k of his own money into the club.

It would be a shame if anything happened to Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, But some big changes need to be made asap. It is obvious Jobs for friends & family at the moment. In my opinion there should be full transparency of running the club.

Do other clubs have such cynical supporters or is it just us after years of disappointment. BTW I won £25 and got it no problem.

Was it cheque? Or cash?


I REST MY CASE!!!!!

And rightly so, thats how it should be.

OMG! This is getting painful to read.

Andrew Glover once cut me up on the M1.

Suspending "reality" for a moment; how many companies do you know would offer another company a 200K line of credit when said other company has a credit rating of close to zip? Seems unlikely, doesn't it?

Sorry... carry on.

The internet and technology have got a lot to answer for! I remember rolling up in 1974 when the club ead probably run equally as bad or well as it is now but all we cared about was how well Topliss, Morgan, Skerret, Smith, Sheard, Crook, Ballantyne, Handscombe, Hudson etc would play and the result. The Board were names in the programme and nothing else to the supporters. Get over yourselves and start supporting the team or sod off. That is your place so stop thinking you have any other part to play and leave Glover alone. Without him there would not be a club at all!

If anyone thinks they should have a say in running the club there are ways and means of doing that - apply for a position or buy your way into the board. Unlike Govt, business is not a democracy.

Indeed (although you have to wonder whether government is a democracy too, but that's another matter).

To take up a point that was mentioned earlier: Joining the supporters' trust and bringing the membership up from a poxy 200 to 2,000 might be one way of having a little more influence on what goes on at the club. That said, it does cost a massive 2 pints a year, so you need to consider carefully how you spend your money.
