By the way, I wasn't born in 1873, just a bit later.

Seriously though, thanks to all who attended last night, it shows the passion there is for this Club that's so much part of all our lives.

I know people are brassed off with the situation, I know I am, but the fact that we are where we are financially demonstrates how difficult it is to run a Club in Super League without massive investment from a wealthy benefactor. It has been said that that Ken Davy invests around £2m of his own money every year to keep Huddersfield afloat. Apparently Jack Fulton puts a substantial sum into Castleford and they are on a par with us performance wise. The same applies to all the top Clubs with the possible exception of Leeds and maybe Wigan. Leeds can pay full cap and remain in the black because they pull in around 15,000 at every home game.

If you do the sums based an our attendances, SKY money, corporate and sponsorship and then look at expenditure on players, running costs etc. in order to pay up to full cap we need to generate a minimum of a further £0.6m per annum. Michael said we would be running with a budget I think of £1.1m which seems to back this figure.

Without a Ken Davy figure we need to generate a substantial increase in income if we wish to be a Super League Club and sit with the big boys at the top table and we are the only people who can do this. If we don't then we have to accept that we are a Championship club, and no disrespect intended, and play with the Batley's and Dewsbury's.

Whilst ever I have a breath in my body I will do all I can to stay in Super League because I enjoy playing against Leeds, Wigan, Saints etc. and beating them now and again.

If you feel the same way then get behind the Club and as I said last night renew your memberships, join Club 1873 and sign up to Foxy Bingo (remember code WTW).

The Trust is still working with the Club on other ways to generate substantial investment into the Club but we will need the support of all of you who care about Wakefield Trinity. If you want to help us and I'm not going to beat about the bush it will involve you putting some more money into the Club then give us your contact details by e-mailing us at wtsupporterstrust@aol.com.

I hate cliches and straplines but together we can really take this Club forward.
