Sums it up for me.

I guess you never read my reply crow123, i have been a family season pass holder for 15 years, paying nearly £400 last year, i do not buy cheapo tickets why would i when i paid nearly £400 for a season pass ? like i said you never read my reply, spent thousands buying ticket's, shirts, WISCA memberships as well as travelling to Catalans and Crusaders this year, but i must admit i don't but the league express i read it at work, but would never consider myself a glory supporter sitting in the pub with me shirt on....lol, I am a RL supporter whether that be watching the Rams, Batley or Wakey, 1 thing for sure i will retain my WISCA membership and be on the weekend trips to London and Crusaders. I may buy the silver membership to get my cheapo tickets though for the Cat c games if thats OK with you ?

Which part do you want me to comment on, the bit where you said you could get a cheap ticket from the con club if you so wished, but have decided to point out that you would not do such a thing, or maybe that you will probably buy a season ticket for the Rams instead of buying a silver ticket or whatever colour it is for us thus enabeling you to pick the best games at Wakey, no doubt with a cheap ticket from the Con club. As I said before I hope it stays fine for you, Is there any wonder we cannot sell season tickets when we are competing with the likes of the Con club and those stewards you are accusing of letting people in for a small fee, as for KR selling 4,000 ST it would appear then that their stewards are far more honest than ours are allegedly of course. I will take comfort though in the fact you will get the best of both worlds and at the right price small as the crumbs' may be.

Its not a dick measuring contest chissit ! I have been home and away for 24 years and have the right to voice my opinion on what has been ( for me ) one of the worst seasons in that time ! In years gone by we have had the threat of relegation hovering above our heads on numerous occasions and we have had to battle to the last game of the season to maintain our top flight status. They were shocking seasons with many a good hiding along the way but we knew that we had to secure enough points to stay up and would continue to battle until the last game of the season.

Now with the threat of relegation gone, teams like ours have been rolling up now for the last few weeks and are just going through the motions hence the number of hammerings we have received. It doesnt matter if Crusaders, Salford, Catalans finish above us or if our points difference is embarrasingly in the negative - the fact is our players lost the heart to play weeks if not months ago.

Now for those of you on here saying ' Wakefield Trinity ' is my life etc etc then fair play to you. You continue to spend hundreds of pounds on season tickets, shirts and so on but dont criticise us fans of many a year for saying that enough is enough.

I hope to god the meeting goes in our favour in September and if there are positive vibes and new signings made then maybe a lot of supporters along with myself will decide to buy a season ticket for next year but until that time its a no im afraid.

After spending thousands of pounds on season tickets for myself and my family and brand new shirts every year as well as corporate sponsorship over the years , this season i havent because i am sick of how the club is run!! Ive got hold of complimentary tickets this season for every game and not paid a penny and until we keep hold of players instead of flogging them for a quick buck and letting quality signings go because we cant meet our contractural obligations to those players i wont be either. Trinity have been sucked dry by the leaches for years and I for one as are many others sick to death of it!!!! Transfer fees not used to bolster the team (wheres that gone) wages of players that have left not spent to bolster the team (lot of money saved) apart from the 90K paid to that numpty Cooke who in my opinion hasnt been worth 9K!!! These are the views of not only me but many others i speak to!!!!!!!

My irony meter has just blown up.

People are entitled to vote with their feet, and the product hasn't been good for most of the year, but by refusing to pay over your money until the club spends some sounds like a vicious circle to me, because the club can't do the things you want without your money.

There are so many errors in your rant that it begs the question of where to start!

1 There are no leaches!
2 Transfer fees used to keep club afloat - because people haven't 'supported' the side with their own money!
3 Tronc / Brough / Newton out - Charlie / Gledhill / Cooke / Rinaldi in!
4 Cooke's wage from us is no-where near the figure you put.

I'm not saying that it's been a lot of fun this year - it hasn't - but it wasn't for the lack of trying then and there is no lack of trying now - but just how would you go about convincing players that we are a better option than many others in SL right now?

On the other side of the coin, it was always thus, but we have always done well when having to find players with points to prove who may not have opportunities elsewhere - and that gives me hope for next year, whether mis-placed or otherwise.

Stick with the club - and be a part of it's new beginning!

To put a comparison between Brough , Tronc and Newton(Silly lad) and the other four is an insult to the Quality and the Class of these 3 players!!!!!!!!
3 match winners to 4 bench warmers!!! Hell of a swap!

First of all nobody is denying you an opinion so lets not go down that route shall we, and as for a dick measuring contest as you put it, you are the one who is saying you have supported the club for X no. of years and spent so much
money on the club not me. It does not matter whether you have been watching for 25 miutes or 25 years you still only get one opinion and if you have the right to one then by the same laws I am entitled to one also although mine was more of an observation followed by a question. By your own admission we have had some shocking seasons so I will ask my original question again, what makes this year any worse than we have experienced in your time supporting the club. It seems to me that having experienced a lot of dross over the last 25 years we seem to have become a little too complacant with our expectations from the present setup over the last four seasons hence the massive disapointment this season. So you see pal we are all as fed up as what you are but some of us deal with it in different ways.

1 was banned
1 wanted to go home and sulked
1 wanted more money and wouldn't sign our massive offer

We can make them stay - but we can't make them play (well).

Most seem to quite like Charlie / Rinaldi and young Gledhill and a few seem to be suggesting that even Cooke could be useful. Not sure what else could have been done in the circumstances.

Newton Banned! Fair enough.

Brough allegedly wanted 100k a season to stop at wakey but the board said NO so he went to Hudds(Trinity making a couple of quid) Then we go and pay 90k (rumoured) a year to a player i wouldnt let clean broughies boots!

As for Shane Tronc?? heard in the pub was let go back to Oz for nothing (Leeds want a transfer fee for Eastwood 100k for remaining time on HIS contract) for not discussing the contractural downfalls on his Trinity contract that he was promised and not his wife being homesick!

Only rumours!!!!

So whos to blame!!!

If your going to go down this route - at least get some facts right!

Brough was offered in the region of £150k pa - from 2011 on. He preferred cash there and then. If we had kept him he would have walked for nothing - perhaps the club should have done that, but the feeling was that it was a good deal for the club at the time.

Cooke is on no where near £90k - FACT. I've already stated that once.

Tronc was playing like a pussy for the last 6 weeks he was here. I wouldn't have wanted him any longer personally. Eastwood is in another league to Tronc - and there is still no guarantee that Leeds will get anything for him. Tronc and his wife refused to mix with the rest of the players and WAGs - hence them being unsettled.

Come on - old stuff. The club are planning for next year, not this!
