I'm in the trenches with you Phil

| Well said TRB. It's a shame there aren't as many people trying to be positive as there were happy to be overly negative last night. We have lost bigger and better players than Smith in the past.
Just come off the phone to my two rugby going mates and we are all up for the fight! Dare I say it but together we are stronger!!!

| Anger is part of the grieving process.
We'd had disbelief, now we got on with dusting ourselves off and making a new start.

Could we have done much more the last couple of years? Best crowds we have had for ages! 3 of us in the fam with season tickets as always, it's just same old same old.

| Right, now is the time to stand up and be counted. The statement from Michael Carter seems frank, honest and genuine.
Selling Smith was the only option we had and so even though it's disappointing that it has had to come to that, I'd rather that than lose MY club!!
Quote: "The past should be a learning experience not an everlasting punishment. What’s done is done. Constantly going over the ordeals you previously faced will only be a burden in your life.'"
A fresh start is needed and that can only happen if WE back the Club and the new Chairman who seems to know what he is doing.
On the plus side we will start next season as everyone's prediction for relegation which is when the Wakefield Spirit shows itself and we generally go out and prove everyone wrong.
Quote: "You can’t have a better tomorrow if you’re always thinking about yesterday.'"
The Club and the Team will get my full backing starting tomorrow at Huddersfield. I hope that others feel the same.

| Most people on here already spend everything they can on the club, that well is close to running dry. Its the floating fans that would have to dig deeper, the ones who weren't there before the cheap ticket offer. You really think they will all of a sudden see key players leaving, the prices going up and say on the back of a probable 7 game losing run and say 'yeah, i'll have a bit of that'?! Sorry but it just isn't going to happen. I'm lead to beleive we have sold less than half the 4K target to press and I doubt that is going to double on the back of recent events.
We will back to the same amount of people as there always is putting in the same amount of money they possibly can. And respect to everyone that does. But I for one already spend more than I should on the club over the year, i'm afraid no more funds can be directed that way. The fans spend what they can and always have but that obviously isn't enough as this keeps happening. What we have to do is find significant new investment and find it quick. The best thing we can do is ask our bosses whether they want to part own a rugby club with plenty of commercial potential and hope they say yes. Otherwise I fear the slope might just get a little too slippery.
