| Certainly seems overwhelmingly in favour of reverting back to Wakefield Trinity
With the caveat that we keep Daddy Cool as a mascot
Only 2 votes to drop Trinity

| As an outsider...I can understand any club trying to appeal to children, especially given the way football seems to hoover up fans as it becomes more and more global. So some of the new club names have been embraced. I think a lot of Widnes fans like being the Vikings from personal experience.
But I can't say I've observed a lot of love for the Wildcats name, and with Trinity attached it's a bit of a mouthful. Trinity is your identity, wildcats could simply be a nickname (like The Toffees is to Everton etc) and a mascot and the club would benefit much the same from it with the kids. Just my tuppence worth.

Let's just talk about the depressing stuff then!
I see no reason why we can't debate any number of things, who's counting or putting a limit on it?
Whether the club places any importance on what's said or polled on here is doubtful anyway.

| I'll always prefer just Trinity but i don't see much point in changing anything right now. Bigger fish to fry.

| I remember when Trinity re-branded to the cartoon cat - was it about 1999? - the response from Tigers supporters was that it was a copy of our badge and there was even a ridiculous theory that by Wakey using a feline mascot (similar to ours) it was another attempt at a merger of the 2 clubs. I mean if you are going to have to pick an animal you could have avoided picking one of the big/medium cat species - there is another 8 million animal species to choose from.

| I'd suggest it was more to do with alliteration and nothing at all to do with what Cas were doing.
By that logic, it reduces your 8 million options by a fair few doesn't it...?

Wildcats are not a big cat species and are not medium sized either.

Not sure if you're trying to be helpful or not but what Cas Tigers fans think, now or in the past, on this matter is pretty irrelevant. Thank you.

The moniker was added as part joining in the spirit of Super League. If I remember rightly various names were suggested by fans as part of a Wakey Express/Trinity completion. Didn't something like Wakefield Trinity "Tornados" come a close 2nd?

Bren - alliteration doesn't come into it. Wakey didn't have to pick a moniker beginning with W (e.g. Leeds Rhino's and Castleford Tigers).

| They didn't have to.....but that's why they did.
Pretty big Cas ego to think it was to do with them.
