| The clowns win OK I have no problem with Wakefield Trinity I wish them well
But I have being losing interest in the game for a number of years in the main down to the Muppets who run the game Sky and the idiots Stevo Hemmings and Clarke
So it is with an heavy heart that I have decided to walk away from the game at all levels I have cancelled Sky I have cancelled my 1873 and wont be renewing my season ticket I have watched my last game of RL live or TV I will not support a game that has lost its soul It was fun for 40 years but all good things end and I have my memories that will stay with me for life the 79 semi the Wigan 7s win in 80 43 10 v Leeds at home Ashurst Toppo Smith Kelly Ella R Price Dave Smith Julith etc etc
Good luck Wakefield
Also got to laugh at Danny Broughs comment I don’t want to finish top IDIOT
THE FANS DO

Nope he isn't.
I really struggle with Fri night games and Thu night games are even harder to get to.
Its my last season as season ticket holder, and that's only because I've already bought mine.

And they shouldn't be dismissed as a small percentage having knee jerk reactions, there are many disillusioned fans considering the same

I was discussing this the other day and was thinking of a thread to start. I might just start it as it seems there are a lot more people with mixed feelings than I thought there would be.

He's certainly not a knee jerker and he's been through enough it seems.

I totally agree with you. My dad took me to my first match at Belle Vue in 1962 so I saw the greatest team in Wakefield Trinity history. My dad who is in his mid 80's now went to the RL Cup Final at Wembley in 1946 & can still tell you the team from that day.
When we saw these new proposals we both laughed and said this is the end of Rugby League for both of us. Now we can sit & read a good book rather than listen to the idiots on sky & bbc eulogise about the game.
At least we both have brilliant memories & we can both say we saw the great Wakefield Trinity teams unlike the youngsters of today.

| Very depressing to read all this from seasoned campaigners!
I love my days out at the game, but meeting the boys and having a few pints has long since been the main priority over the actual RL.

Agreed, people actually walking away from the club and sport because of a structure change?
For me its all about getting away from the norm, meeting my friends and cheering on the trinity no matter what league we are in. As long as I have a team i'll go watch them. Some comments ive read today are so petty and ridiculous.

That wasn't my point to be honest.
What i was saying was that much of the passion i once had , had gone and the main objective was to see the mates and have a few pots and get out the house for a few hours. Sadly i can do that down the boozer and it wont cost me a ST and a load of hassle either.
The thing is it gets to you, all the stuff with the club and all the stuff with the bent rfl and the bent league.
So i don't think for a minute the posts are petty or ridiculous, i can totally see where those points are coming from, i'm just not as far down the track as they are.

| Each to their own, but there is only one thing you're going to hurt by walking away, and it isn't Nigel Wood or the RF or indeed other SL clubs.

| Sorry if my post offended, it wasn't the intention as its not my nature.
Just dont understnad why people would walk away from the club when at this moment they need the fans more than ever. But hey if thats how people feel then fair enough.

| I don't underestimate the passion or disappointment felt to say you would walk away from watching rugby league but it wouldn't happen to me for these reasons.
I might not watch if my family commitments got in the way or I had to move out of the area for work but the change in league structure makes no difference to my enjoyment of watching Wakfield. I want to watch them play rugby. If that was in the second division I'd still watch.
I may not go to Whitehaven like I have when I had more free time but I'd certainly go to a lot of games.
Each unto their own but i think there is a lot of negativity towards the structure because if the way the RFL deliver the message rather than the pros and cos of the system.
