Yes it just about summed the day up and gave everyone one final chance for the day to have a good laugh at shoddy old wakey

SUPPORT SWAG...:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10363.jpg



Quote: Willzay "Like an aging dog, it's clear to see that this club has had its last day. If anyone thinks the club can recover from this atrocious season and management your living in cuckoo land. It'll take years to just get on even keel with some other clubs without being relegated. It's sickening to see this once great club dragged the mud and going through a slow lingering death. To spare an old dog another day of pain and humiliation the owner puts it down peacefully. But Carter is a leech, has been from day one. No colour, no life, no atmosphere at BV anymore.'"


Sadly it's hard to argue much as I want to - I agree I'd rather it sink now than endure anymore of this - it's not just on the field as you say everything is now wrong and it does look a hopeless cause if I'm honest - after 25 years the inevitable seems to be happening despite countless efforts of countless little people to stop the rot. We have been let down by the Wakefield elite who just don't care a jot about the City and it's people who helped make them - they give nothing back,

At least Carter tried (Ed Milliband style) icon_biggrin.gif

No point giving it to the club as phone lines probably down so no one could call him even if they wanted to!

Sorry, but anyone who wants out just quietly walk away. Otherwise, whinge away as much as you want, but at the end of the day you have to give your support to the name of Wakefield Trinity. Players, owners will come and go, so don't come on here bleating about how you are going and how you want the club to sink, & encouraging others to do the same!

Jesus Christ, youre having a bad season, you've had a few bad seasons, you might have another bad season next season.

So what if you get relegated, it's not the end of the world.

You'll still have a club to support no matter whos running it, the coaching staff or players. They all come and go, supporters and fans don't.

I don't know your financial situation or if theres anything in the noises that youre not far off from admin, but that doesn't matter either, you could fold, be the end of the wildcats, but as long as you've got the fans, and they want Rugby League in Wakey then to everybody outside Wakey you will always be Wakefield Trinty.

well said , that man. if they are not up for the fight, bugger off home and stop moaning. look at the super league clubs that are supposed to be in good form against championship opposition today. Catalans kept Featherstone out by 1 score. Widnes kept Dewsbury out by 1 score. The last time Leigh lost was against Leeds. 25 games unbeaten. They are not numpties, came out in the 2nd half threw a few handbags, disrupted our game, that's when the game turned and I would have a good bet that that is what was talked about in Leighs dressing room at half time. We are not Widnes or Catalans. We are well down on confidence. We should have never let them come back but I won't be commiting suicide over it

Irony is represented below. [quote="JEAN CAPDOUZE":162hm7sy]He is not telling the truth. He is talking paranoid rubbish.[/quote:162hm7sy]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_59837.jpg



The gulf in rugby league isn't as big as people think regarding super league and the championship.

Ignore what the commentators on sky say, just watch some games.

The championship teams have given a good account of themselves in this competition, don't knock them

I don't think you have given Leigh enough credit,they are a good team,your first half lead was down to the amount of possession given to you by Leigh's dropped balls a 2- 1 penalty count against Leigh and a couple of dubious forward passes, then we have Neil Fox at half time telling you the game is over d040.gif d040.gif have a word with yerself Neil another 40 to be played yet.Next thing you know Jeds a Millionaire. icon_lol.gif

Agree totally. Think of all the past who have given blood sweat and tears. It's in their memory I will keep going

To be fair to neil for any other super league team the game would have been over winning 24 6 at half time against Leigh

We just dont have any game management and no mental strength

But still another other SL side with an 18 point lead at half time would've finished you off. Trinity have no mental strength, poor fitness, absolutely no game management and players short on confidence.

Agree with the majority of that post, with the exception of "Leigh threw a few handbags".
When watching it back, it is plain as day that Kirmond threw 2 or 3 punches in the tackle & he was even useless at that, that is what caused the fracas.

Anyway, I haven't come on here to gloat about Leigh or deride Wakefield, just a message to reiterate what I posted earlier in the week.

The Championship is a good comp, it has good, strong Clubs & teams with great fans. It has been said in several quarters that the rugby is in some ways more exciting than in many SL matches where it is all 4/5 drives & a kick.

If the Wildcats do end up relegated, all is not lost. Teams & clubs & even fan bases can be rebuilt. In the case of Leigh we had no money, bucket collections for players because they weren't getting paid, 3rd bottom & saved from relegation at the final hour.
Even in those darker days, we still had the fans, more fans than any other Club & when the board wised up & changed the team improved, the club improved.

Has the Championship killed Leigh, Bradford, Halifax, Fev & Sheff Eagles ?

Never.

So, heads up Wakey fans, you live to fight another day & if that fight is in the Championship, so be it, it ain't the pit of despair painted by some.

Best of luck to you all (Genuinely) with all your on & off field issues, but.should the worst come to the worst & you are relegated to the Championship then -

Come on in, the rugby's lovely.
