| I'd take 11th just so it can't be said that we stayed up because of Bradfords points deduction

| Want to finish with enough points to make Bradfords points deduction irrelevant. Dont want to hear every week that we only stayed up because Bradford had a points deduction. Would also like 1 or 2 extra teams between us and Bradford.

I have been attending BV 44 yrs. No way were there only 4079 there today. The puzzled silence followed by quiet laughter said it all. 5000 to 5500 at least. Don't know what is going on but I would bet my house there were NOT 4000 in BV today

This kind of thing should not hang over a competition; its a farce but the best way to deal with it is make it irrelevant. I think Bradford are highly unwise to go down this route. There is every chance that we will get 3 more wins and quite a chance we will get a couple more. Even with all 6 back that leaves them needing 11 - 15 points with points diff accounted for, from an available 20..can they really think that is on the way they are playing? I think the words...let it go spring to mind

| I think in previous seasons an 8th place finish needs 24-26 points so that would take another 6 wins but its a strange season this year so owt could happen

Ill take those odds if your offering Charlie? I could do with moving! When people have been used to inflated crowds in the past couple of years naturally when they see the stands this season and equate it to a past figure they will laugh. With the differentiation in crowds from this to the last couple of seasons but seeing similar amounts of faces in the ground evokes a question. The question is which crowds/regime do you trust the most? I don't believe we have got on a sound financial footing this season without being honest. There is no reason for Michael or the board to lie.
Capacity crowds are when people are shoulder to shoulder with the same room either side as when seated. When people spread out it looks fuller than what it is! Believe me the board wish they were announcing 6-7k crowds!!

| I don't think we can. I'd just like to see the same effort and determination like we saw yesterday in every game until the end of the season now.

Agreed Willzay, that's all I ask, 100% effort against everyone we play. The results, like yesterday, will then take care of themselves. People are happy again around Wakefield, plenty of shirts on display and lookiing forwards, not backwards and up not down, good stuff.

It's certainly not beyond the realms of possibility Lurcher, but I feel we've left it too late. If Agar had gone a few game earlier maybe.

| I just want us to stay up but have enough points for the Bulls deduction not to be thrown at us every pair of plates.

| I just want us to stay up, I don’t even care if it’s assisted by the point’s deduction.
People still snipe about the Crusaders “Dear John” letter that saved our bacon when the last licences were handed out.
Hell, some even go on about when we were first admitted to SL & what promises we failed to deliver.
At the end of last season we looked like dead men walking, yet now we are on the cusp of survival.
The saddest part for me is, invariably as Wakey fans, this appears to be as good as it gets. No Grand Finals, no Challenge Cup finals, just relief we avoid relegation & even that’s not certain yet, when you live in my world that is .

A Challenge Cup round win would be nice!

| Quote: wrencat1873 "At the risk of getting very carried away after todays magnificent win, is it actually possible to make the top 8 ?
Hull FC, Hull KR and Widnes would need to be caught and all 3 have to come to Belle Vue.
Widnes will also be distracted by their cup semi final against Cas so IMO, it's game on !
Lets try and encourage the stay away's to come on down to Belle Vue and get the place rocking.
The atmosphere was great today and with a low crowd, just think what it would be like with a capacity crowd.'"
Agree with your 2nd & 3rd points but top 8 ?
Think you must have had 1 too many sherberts

Spot on mate, i've always noticed that the amount of shirts on show around town directly reflects the current form of the team and the pride of the fans. Lets be honest most of us think twice about going out in the shirt if we've been getting tonkings but can't wait to wear it all week when we've won. Stinks a bit by Friday i'll admit.
