Daddycool, a money bags Parkin-esque investor aside is there any potential investment coming in or is it looking like (in the short term at least) if we are going to bridge the £400k gap; it will be from those already involved - supporters and present board or the sale of players?

Now we have sold Smith and possibly Cockayne and backroom staff leaving, any idea as to how much has been saved and how much still to find towards the £400,000

Carter said in his press conference that the 400K was AFTER Smiths fee, so that makes no difference. Cockayne hasn't gone yet so we can't count that yet either. Other than Longo who goes after sundays game, so has no real effect til next payday, have any other backroom staff gone since the announcement? Has their been any redundancies?

So to answer your question, probably none raised yet really, but maybe a little pending.

Thanks for clarifying.

Nothing concrete this week despite lots of meetings. A good revenue earner came in courtesy of foz but will take time.
I will try to keep updating as and when I can

We wish you look Daddycool. We are all behind you.

Thanks for that Michael.
Just to say that all genuine fans of the club are thankful of your efforts and don't be alienated by some of the dross that I read on here.
This is my 52nd year supporting the club man and boy. I am sure with all the good work going on to save the club I'll manage a few more years of the rollercoaster ride

Daddy cool, a lot of season ticket holders are stating they are happy to pay on Sunday , or donate what they can afford, and forego their season ticket voucher. Can a mechanism be put in place to achieve this in the most efficient way for the club, for example perhaps attend at was the old club shop (portocabin)at back of main stand, as they fear if they merely donate at the gate the money will not get where it needs to.

The best most transparent way for any donations is for it to be done by cheque with donation written on back of cheque. Then hand them to myself or in club shop or leave with girls at players entrance or at bottom of benidorm flats or dolls. It will all get handed in

just to clarify
are the cheques to be made out to Wakefield Trinity Wildcats or Spirit of 1873 ?

Daddy cool. Thanks for the quick reply, I will do just that.

Come on season ticket holders, we all know we have had our rugby cheap this year at £8 per game and to my mind this has been the problem. If everyone donates what they can afford we can help the cause considerably. A £25 donation still means you have only paid approx £10 per game.

Have the club phoned all the season ticket holders from last season who have not renewed yet to try to convince them to sign up?
Or for that matter called the ones who have to find out if they expected to buy a shirt next season or what merchandise they might buy? , and try to get them to pre purchase or buy a voucher ?

So far I have had no calls , surely the marketing team should be in full swing

Spirit of 1873 ltd

Anyone hand a cheque over today?

I just paid on the gate instead of using my season ticket. Not making much of a dent into the 400k but made me feel a bit better!
