Until we reach a point where income starts to come in and we can afford to speculate it will be as it is now.
That point grows ever closer and every week that goes by and we keep the squad we have shows what work is going on in the background to balance the books and reduce the defecit.
We may not be bringing in players now, but we aren't loosing them every week either, and so the squad remains largely intact.
Of course the sooner that point comes the better, and if people are holding on to their hard earned for any other reason than of necesity, i would suggest that income now may well be better than income in a month or two's time.
There will no doubt be players still to go, many are rumoured certainly but until any of that becomes fact i don't see the point of prophesising doom on a biblical proportion. As pointed out people have real problems and this is just RL at the end of the day.
If you can - get it spent now though!!

We can sit here feeling down/despondent/disappointed with where we are but that won't improve things.

WE (the supporters Wakefield Trinity) can actually make a difference to what happens next year if we really want to.

That team that The Clan has posted is certainly good enough to win games, and yes, we may lose another couple of those but if enough of us want it we can stop that happening and we can actually help to add to it.

This club has been a big part of my life for more years than I care to think about now and I hope it continues to be so for me and my 2 sons (and for the wife's sake who gets a temporary reprieve from me once a week!!).

What's gone is gone, nothing can change it. What is yet to come is within our control if WE choose to make it so.

This!!!!!
Too many people i speak to have the view that what are the club doing to bring me back next season, personally at times like this an attitude of what can i do to improve situations for us all is the better option.
Think not of what your club can do for you, but what you can do for your club...and all that jazz!!!

In all honesty I think we will be going down before we go up - if we can manage to survive in the championship as a pro club and get out in 1 year we will be much stronger

Listen Jacques, we stood together at Wembley in 68. How bad was that feeling!
Maybe our feathers have been burnt too many times to be a phoenix, who knows.
I am either too optimistic or just simply deranged, but I think something will come up, Mrs Micawber!
There are good lads around the leagues looking and waiting for the chance to shine. Many of John Kear's last "no hopers" squad are earning a crust in Super League now. Sure, more will go but others will come. Just think of the Pearman false dawn and all the big hitters we signed.
2014 will be a test of coaching mettle but we WILL be there.

Thanks for the response everyone.
Yep feeling low re.Trinity but still got season ticket, although I only get to a few games, and will be contributing in as many ways as I can to help the Trinity cause.

I'm down on the RFL rather than the club. The lack of them being able to sell the game to any main sponsor, imposing rules on clubs that cripple them financially only to remove them later (would we be in this mess if we hadn't spent it all on the roof?) and the possible introduction of what I think is a stupid and confusing change to the league and I'm quickly losing interest.

More than likely. It could've saved Andrew Glover a decent amount (if he subsidised the cost, is this what his 600k loan to the club is for?).

Quote: The Clan "I don't post too often anymore but feel I need to sometimes and this is one such time.

Like everyone else I'm feeing a little despondent at times and have to dig deep to find some reserves of positivity to keep me going.

When I look at the team as it stands today, it's still fairly competitive and certainly not bottom two material, factor in some siege mentality, which we do best, and with players not worrying about being paid and we could surprise a few next year, including ourselves.

As it stands our line up looks like,
Mathers
Fox, Collis, Smith, Cockayne
Sykes, Goulding (or overseas signing)
Poore, Aiton, Raleigh
Kirmond, Lauitiiti
Washbrook

Wildie, Smith, Tautai, Lyne, Anakin, Walshaw, Trout, Kaye?

Even if we lose a couple from that team it's certainly not the worst squad we've had in recent seasons.'"

You forgot to mention Mellars who has another year on his contract! icon_biggrin.gifOH:

I think we're going to lose 7 out of the 21 names you mentioned if even half the rumours are true as a few are on big contracts allegedly which is why Aiton is going. It'll come down to their cheaper replacements and whether there is sufficient quality to be competitive. If we lose Poore we'll have only 2 props in the 'squad' and we'd need 4/5 IMO.

Cockayne to HKR (terms agreed but no contact in last few weeks)

Aiton and Poore (possibly) to Leeds (funny prop Moore released today coming the other way?)

viewtopic.php?f=17&t=560423&tsmp=1382462285&start=10

Kay out of contract and gone to Fev Rovers?

Tautai on a 1 year deal so is he coming back?

Goulding out of contract and gone?

Lee Smith going to Newcastle Falcons?
It could be a small squad training session on 31st October....

How your feeling now is exactly how i felt at the start of last year and wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone, good luck and hope you get out of the mess your in.

Maybe you should remember how you felt more often instead of being a constant pillock to everybody else.
