Two reasons.

3 hours peace and quiet away from her indoors. icon_smile.gif

The "tales of the unexpected" you just never know what you are going to get with Wakefield, don't really wish to miss the away win at Wigan etc that comes out of the blue

Now this season I won't go again until I am entertained, yes I love the club but common sense dictates that I want to spend my leisure time and money on being entertained.
I suppose my question is for those of you that still go religiously even though and I feel justified in saying this the product currently is atrocious, what keeps you going even when there is nothing visually of interest.

You say you won't go again until you are entertained. How will you know if you don't go?

This is Wakey, we are likely to put in a great performance against someone unexpectedly and you won't be there. You'll see the result, think "that's better" and now I will go again as it looks like we can be entertaining. You'll turn up at the next game and we'll get battered and be awful.
So the reason I go to every (or as many as I possibly can) game is because I don't want to miss those occasional games where we do something unexpected. I'd love it if we could do it every week but I'm realistic enough to know that just isn't going to happen - you just have to enjoy it when it does.

Take the midweek game in 1994 at Wigan as a prime example - We went there having been beaten in the cup 2 weeks earlier, Tuigamala was making his Wigan debut, everyone expected Wigan to walk all over us and Henry Paul ran the show and we came away victorious.

That's why I go, for moments like that.

Used to be a die hard but sadly no more, have a season ticket and can't see me ever not buying one.
Away games are a rarity these days because of time and money.

Love the club and I will always support WTW but lost interest in the game and the way its run.

Sums it up perfectly for me as well.

The start of Super League and our "expulsion" from the top flight almost stopped me going to watch Wakey and I fell out with RL at that point and missed a couple of seasons.
Started going again in the second year of SL but, the constant meddling with the game by the RFL, together with Wakefield's financial perils, make the game far more difficult to embrace that it used to be.
The 2 x 12 and 3 x 8 structure leaves clubs like ours under permanent threat of relegation and I firmly believe that we will end up with a 10 team SL in the near future, which will be unlikely to include Trinity.
We are certainly not a club for glory hunters and we do lurch from crisis to crisis, which prevents us from attracting some new fans.
However, there have been some great moments over the last 25 years (sadly, not enough of them) and this is why we keep coming back for more.

Another drubbing at Headingley was a far more attractive proposition than staying in watching some egotist on a chat show talking to a bunch of even more egotistical celebs.

That sums me up perfectly, is it an age thing or just the way the game is going?

Being a kid in Wakefield in the 60's meant Trinity was just a major part of your life.
Still the same now and, although I would prefer to watch a winning team, results never really come into it. Like others I have dropped off away games recently mainly because I've increased the amount of cash I put into Trinity direct. It kills to see Agar destroying the club but he'll be gone soon and Wakefield, in what ever form and what ever level, will still be around I hope. I'll be there, miserable as sin!

Cant see where you're coming from personally?

Looks like we've followed the club over the same period of time....those 25 years have in typical Wakey fashion been full of ups and downs....a lot more downs aswell....

There's been great moments in there though, moments that will live with us forever....the next one of those is always potentially one game away....like winning away at Central Park in the 90's....like going to Headingley at Easter 2005 after being absolutely trounced at home by Huddersfield just days before.....

I'm sure in the last 25 yrs following us you have spent time and money to be not entertained...by much worse players/teams but still stuck by us....just think how many embarrassing fruitless trips to Cumbria we endured...but we kept on making the trip and were rewarded with that fine win at Whitehaven that day when the players came over for a singsong at the end....

Why now then in the most important season of all would you throw that 25 year love affair away? Especially when a man like MC and his team have come in and done what they have to give us a fighting chance....still way too early to be throwing the towel in...IMO....

Can also identify with Al's situation...as I cant get to all away games through a combination of time...money...family etc.....not going to home games I see as a different issue though and one I wouldnt stop doing....especially not a season as big as this....

See you all Friday....lets be loud and proud for the club we all love!?

I tend to think the money is a big issue but then I ask myself this, if it was only £5 to go to an away game would I go? And the answer is no, I'm not enjoying the product on the field anywhere near as much as I have in the last 28yrs of watching Trinity.
I think the speccis at all grounds are much less tolerant and more volatile than in the past, we've been to Hull in yrs gone bye and stood in the Thruppany stand and not had a punch thrown, but that can't be said for a lot of grounds ( ours included) these days.
I'm not that enamoured with the new pre fabricated grounds but understand the need for them, the game is getting too sterile, the overall management of the game is abysmal and open to favouritism and the new relegation/promotion format seems to me a way to get rid of clubs without much chance of the lower clubs having a hope in hell of getting promotion, it all stinks and I for one don't like the stench!

Would be interested im hearing from fans of other clubs on this.

Do Cas fans feel differently bearing in mind they are flying high, does that alter fans views on their feelings for the club and the game in general.

Or Bulls fans have they fallen out with the club/game or as it galvanized them.
