Quote: Manuel "Anyone heard goss that there’s been a bust up at the top.
I am as fed up as have ever been and this is probably my time to give up. I’m very fit and in my 70s, love going, but so many old fans like me seem on the verge of finishing too, they are worn out by constant crap.
Stuff like players allegedly having to bring their own breakfast and lunch due to penny pinching. Everything seems toxic. Are we going in one direction or two? Can it be clarified if we are allegedly trying to offload blocks of players, the stadium and control? Sponsors are probably edgy too, I know one is. The Facebook stuff is dreadful to read and thoroughly demoralising for fans to read as it looks like it’s asset stripping.
After Thursday’s game, win or lose, hopefully the former, a statement of intent would help (before it would galvanise support).
At the end of the day, Trinity is a business, entertainment, there is none, and whoever is responsible needs to relinquish decision making immediately even if it’s ordering coffee or a pizza!
If Thursday is a disaster, the revolving door will be in overdrive with no chance of avoiding the trap door.
PLEASE b.o.d. Give us a clue WTF is really going on.
'"


I was told a couple of months ago, that the relationship between John & Michael wasn't as rosy as it once was, but was still workable.

I've also heard that the relationship between MC and some players isn't great.

This was not via Facebook, or any food establishment

Anyone in mind.

There are some, but fans forums, just like this one, are there for fans to speak. I would imagine every team has such pages, with similar individuals. It's when comments become abusive, personal, or threatening, that it becomes an issue.

I, myself have come off some, and one in particular, connected to Wakefield Trinity

Don't worry. I hovered over that choice before thinking better of it. Lol.

There seems to be a real toxic minority, unique to our club, within the various SM platforms. They get their orgasms from stirring the poo. Its existed as long as we've been in Super League which probably corresponds to the emergence of the 1st club message board and the original free standing Virtual Terrace.
I've never felt the need to abandon SM though. FCUK 'em.

There's posters on here just as poisonous as on the Facebook page. And, as this thread proves, some fans are probably a lot more snidey than they are on social media.

A lot of people turning their noses up at the Facebook group, but between everyone they've raised an awful lot of money for the club over the last 12 months.

I think the club clearly made mistakes, Shaul and even possibly Gale should have been signed along with a hooker. But we are a club with 4k fans, the people of the city either aren't interested or we just didn't grow the fan base due to making sure we got the club in a balanced state. So I guess aiming to just finish above the promoted weak club has been where we were and this year Leigh invested. With everyone fit I still thought we were by far the weakest team.

I'm starting to get to the stage where I feel maybe due to money Super league isn't for us and the IMG stuff tells me second league should probably be our home. I know its bleak but if the new pitch and stand do generate 500k as MC hopes we could build a good COMPETATIVE side to be proud of and i just don't feel it now. Saying you support Trinity means that whatever league we are in, the fans clearly in some circles think the owners want to destroy the club that clearly isn't the case but we need to realise we are the poorest club money wise and with no rich backer we just can't compete.

The RWB FB group has 3k members of which around a dozen are serial trolls who just generate and perpetuate as which poo as possible.
It does generate a lot of cash and online activity for the club and still carries some good threads too. I hope the admin guys don't get worn down.

The Dreadnoughts FB page is a good one as the admin just don't accept negative .

Absolutely. The RWB page is really good. It's only the odd poster that taints it a little bit but I'm on it and like reading it.

The Dreadnought one is much more tightly moderated and that's quite refreshing.

It's a fine line between allowing free discussion and stopping trolls from posting. I have to say I'm tighter on posts on our forum than others on RLFans. Some like that and some don't.

You gave the board a laugh tonight Manuel as I showed them this thread.

I think it's fair to say they don't know how people come to that conclusion and that they seemed happy with each other.

Very true, and well put.

You do get to know which ones are trolling for the sake of it, and don't engage.

Also there are some, in all social media groups, where despite the comments by others, if you feel strongly, and have substance to your points, if you make them known, these moronic trolls soon back down and disappear. I had one the other night. As soon as I'd reacted, proved my point, they were gone.

Some just do it for the reaction

EVENTUALLY, WE'LL WIN SOMETHING, ,MAYBE, IF I'M STILL ALIVE THEN:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_31007.jpg

I agree with this. There is just no fun watching Trinity anymore and a win is no longer an anticipation. We know it is money down the pan that could have been spent on something more enjoyable. I don't criticise anyone. We've ridden our luck for a while, but luck always runs out.

I see the future quite positively, however. With the money the stadium can generate away from the rugby, we may well be one of the richer clubs in the Championship, so have a decent chance of coming up again (which will involve watching competitive games and wins), and when we do, we may come up as a better proposition than we are at the moment, so more sustainable in the long term.

Yep, a short term blip, but we've a better chance than most at coming up, subject to how the new league structure will work with the IMG proposals (it cant be that a side can only be promoted when they just happen to finish top in the same year that a category B team finishes bottom).

Think of it this way: the excitement around Leigh is due to a promotion after a successful season. There wouldn't be half the excitement if they'd just had ten years of finishing ninth in the Super League.
