Will make interesting reading when season tickets for next year go on sale even if and a big IF the club are still in SL and if the club are who would want to come to a club who don't have a place to call home and will look like they are going from one bad time to another apart from players who are not wanted elsewhere.

It didn't matter that we were playing at Belle Vue this season, people still wouldn't buy a season ticket because they 'didn't know what sort of squad we would have'.
It's just a shame MC wasn't in charge 4 years ago, when we had the cushion of a 3 year franchise!

It will be a lot worse this time round as I said though what player will want to come here apart from those that cant get a gig elsewhere the one hope is that these unknows like Sio etc bust a gut to prove they are capable that's probs what we need if BS decides to stay on with the club.

The question right now is, can we stay in SL with the playing roster that we have.
With the exception of Locke we seem to be trading down with the players that we are "swapping" which is either cashing in/cutting cost, or preparing a Championship side.

As others have said, Brian Smith apart, it's all getting very depressing.

If there's one thing watching Wakey has taught me these last 15 years, it's it ain't over till it's over.

In previous seasons I would agree, but you only have to look at the points against column to realise this lot aren't made of the same stuff as previous squads.

As I said earlier, there is nothing positive to grasp onto right now. The perilously uncertain state the club is in is no way to build a club. The pitiful support will be even smaller if the club some how manage to survive into next season.

No coach, no players, no fans, no ground. Chin up eh?

Well, although I understand a lot of what Vasty says, this bit "I honestly can't believe after the last two seasons any of you still have any belief in the club - what planet are you on!" is unnecessary.

The problem is from an on field point of view, when you judge the season on what has gone on so far, it's the worst in a long history at Belle Vue. The point for me though is that, the season isn't how we'll be judged. We don't have to beat Warrington or Cas. We have to beat the 7 teams in the middle 8. That is not the same.
I'm not daft enough to think it will be easy but I have seen enough since Smith has arrived to think we have a decent chance.

The ground issue is ongoing and I'm not in control of that. The team for next year will sort itself out same as every other year. We don't have to have those contracts yet. We have some, and not bad one's either, and when we know what league we will be in we can do the rest.

I share the sadness about the club but I don't share the view that everything is dead and I don't share the ridicule of those that want to try and stay positive. I don't "trust" the club any more than I trust Marks and Spencer to keep making the socks I like. I just pay my money to watch rugby in Wakefield and will do so regardless of where they play, even if that puts me on the proverbial 'other planet'

Yet there are a lot ridiculing those who are fed up and dare to air that view on here.
It works both ways ...

I don't share that view either.
It's really all just "tone of voice" when writing. It's hard to deliver and judge what is intended so we'll just have to ride it out and see where we end up.

Aside from a win against a tired and poor Hull FC team, there is little difference from now to Websters performances, especially defence and effort wise. We'd scrape by Halifax, Sheffield and maybe Salford but that's all.

Not no fans. I will admit there won't be many at this rate but there will be some. I'll be there next year, just like this year, last year and the previous 20 odd. You may think that makes me deluded, pathetic, whatever, I think it makes me a Wakefield Trinity Supporter!

I understand the doom and gloom, things don't look good but this is still my team and I'll keep supporting them while ever there is a club with the name of Wakefield Trinity.

I don't agree, but that's just where we are right now.
That same Hull team beat Hull KR and Cas. They aren't mugs.

You may be right and we may not win any games, but I feel more confident about it.
Cas obviously knocked confidence a little bit but like I said on another thread, we are not playing Cas.

We are playing
Widnes possibly without Brown
Hull KR with no Campese and a limping Kelly
Salford without Chase and very up and down in form
Leigh and Bradford are looking for scalps and look ok but have not really been tested over a sustained 7 weeks so it is unknown what they will do.
Sheffield and Halifax have some form but I don't think they will have it in the end.

Of course they could all list things about us that are weak too.......but we are not a long way away from the rest in the 8s. It's time for us to show what we have got. If that turns out to be nothing then so be it, I'll be watching the championship more than I wanted to, but we might just......and that is exciting to me.
