Your post does bring a point to mind for me Briggy that in reality we haven't been a big club since those days.
Late 60s we had a championship winning side, but from then till now, we have had some good players, and maybe even some great players, with some good wins, but we haven't been a big club.

Even when Dave Topliss and the Wembley team were playing, we were getting low 1000s in attendance. The city needs to support the team to make it great again.
We seem to have numbers interested now, just not the Cash flow. If we could just turn the investment part around, we could be great again I'm sure, but it's not looking like it's going to be any time soon.

Either way I'll be buying my ticket and supporting the team, but I do yearn for a day when the massive potential of Wakefield (City and Trinity) are realised.
