| Quote: t-r-i-n-i-t-y "I remember reading on here that the Dolls are "hired" by the club, so to speak, to perform on match day etc. Was that company run by someone also employed by the club at the same time and were any other "dance troupes" ever considered for hire, based on costs etc.
Don't know why I've thought if this now, but may as well ask.'"
The Dolls as a company are "owned" by Sarah Elstone and have been for some time. Hence the reason that the girls will be the dancers at the World Cup now Sarah works for the RFL.

| When they dance at other events are they known just as the the Wildcat Dolls cos to any one outside rugby league that will mean sweet FA in terms of publicity for the club.

| OK replace guess with I am certain that it was confirmed that Glover loaned a least £500,000 to the club. It was also stated that he had agreed not to request payment of the loan. I hope this clarifies the situation for you but if I am wrong I am sure someone will correct me.
For the last time our total debt due is less than £400,000 and we have no overdraft at the bank or any outstanding CCJ's as confirmed by MC.
I have great respect for him taking it on however, I did have a problem with how the news delivered was all negative. He was speaking to those who are still to renew their season tickets and human nature does not respond too well to the only bit of positive news that the club will start 2014 but could be just cannon fodder for the rest of Super League. I believe he is learning because the last interview did contain some positives.

Yep they use the generic term of the wildcat dolls and dress in non club branded clothing. We gain zero publicity out of this.

He has promised (note not signed up to) not to call it in YET. For two years is the timescale mentioned. But whilst that debt is on the books it prevents the ckub getting any credit and puts off off potential investors. So to say the actual debt is just 400k is extremely shortsighted, the two million overall debt affects the club EVERY day.

Yes it does, it almost seem like he's trying to defend the mess the clubs in and those involved in that.
Maybe there is a reason for that i don't know.

Because he was part of spirit of 1873 not long after it's inception?

| You said it "you don't know" other than MC nobody on here does but that doesn't stop them pontificating about everything Wakefield related.
I still have not heard of any new investment now Elstons gone but its early I expect by Monday they will have come forward after all some on the forum said it would happen.

It took a while before JE bit the bullet. Maybe they are waiting for the dust to settle.
rickjude is phoning Monday if that helps?

| I agree Agent XIII it is bound to happen as those in the know on the forum say it will. Pity MC is not in the know.

| If only MC had come in a lot sooner things would not have got to this stage but here we are and its out in the open.As for the dolls all I can say is £400 is one expense we can do with out at the moment.Why not have some local dance troops take it in turns to do it and hand them £50 thats £4550 for the season not a lot but every little and all that.

| I'd say either go without or have a good team. No £50 kids play time.
I think the dolls do a lot more for the club than just rah rah cheer leading.
I think we've got bigger fish than this to worry about.
