| Some real embarrassing posts amongst that lot for a few who are still around. But equally a few who can hold there heads up.

Cant blame the fans DC, at that point we were at the bottom of a very deep ravine and the actions of Smith (Tim) and Locke, seemed to have us at our lowest ebb.
Brian Smith did have a decent record as coach and perhaps only you and he know the actual facts.
Forums are a hot bed of over reaction in both directions, overstating how good things are in the good times and utterly desperate when things aren't going to plan.
At the time I didn't think Chester was the man to put Trinity anywhere near where we currently are but, I'm more than happy to be wrong.
What does seem obvious now is that Trinity and Smith weren't right for each other.
All water under the bridge now and they say "never look back", which seems wholly appropriate.
Onwards and upwards and if we can ever sort the ground issue out, Wakefield would be the envy of much of the RL world.
Also worth remembering that most of the fans were right about Mr Agar

| Quote ="Adam_Harrison9"Followed since I am old enough to remember and I'm 25 now so possibly a good 15 years at a stretch.
I didn't say a top coach. Right a team with B. Tupou, A.Tupou, Arona, England, Johnstone, BJB, Simon, Annakin - you're telling me any coach from the championship wouldn't want to coach these players?
[uI wouldn't want Chester[/u and I'm not saying they can do better than Smith but I think some on here are really overrating Smith. Coaches don't always do well at certain clubs. Just because Smith did well at clubs with resources doesn't mean he would do well at Wakefield. Why would any coach stay at Batley/Dewsbury over a Super League club with the above players.
Smith didn't work miracles. He won a one off game against a team in a lower division. I don't think Smith did a particularly 'bad' job per say, but the reaction that people are having on here you'd think we wouldn't have only won 3 games all season last year (1 under smith, 2 under webster) against super league opposition.'"
Don't think I'll be putting this one on my CV
The power of hindsight...

Tbf, the lad's clearly posted that after a bottle of whiskey. I was probably sober. Well, maybe...

| certain clubs seem to attract these kinds of trouble makers,they seem to just lie dormant until the first sign of trouble then all of a sudden 4 or 5 will just appear from nowhere like scavengers.Strange people who would be better finding something else to do with their spare time

| Apologies there Daddycool. I will eat some humble pie there, a very large piece.
It was pretty much straight after the event and in the heat of the moment.
Like someone earlier said, think a lot of the fans were very down at this point.
Hopefully we all and the club can keep looking at the here and now and take things even further, hopefully to that next level..

His post on page 2 is just as funny. You're the grim reaper apparently
One thing that is certain is that he's comfortably the worst poster on this forum.

| Thanks for the compliment there Jakey!
Is this because I'm not rose tinted on here like some, and not afraid to say what I think at the time.
If I am the worst poster on here then why did you waste your time trolling through the posts to find it and read It?

Wasn't specifically looking for something you'd posted, you just happened to post something terrible on the second page which I found after about 30 seconds of looking (I've been on a bus for 8 hours today so you're correct, I don't have anything better to do).
You're also the worst poster because you usually post absolute diarrhoea whilst attempting to make out that you have some kind of knowledge to do with running a rugby club.

Give over, that last paragraph is complete and utter shaet, whilst not always agreeing with EW, as Poptart says he's a million miles away from being the worst poster

| I am pretty new to this forum, and have read some of the posts regarding this.
One thing I will say, regarding EW, I have known him for about 25 years. I worked with him at the same company for a few years.
He is a loyal fan of the club, and has been for much longer than I have known him. Maybe if he does have a fault, it is sometimes been a little too passionate in what he says, and wears his heart on his sleeve a little bit.
I have read some of his posts, and I will be honest, I dont always agree with what he says, but I dont ever recall him saying about having knowledge on how to run a rugby club.
He has played the sport to a decent standard, worked within more than one super league club, including ours, and done some voluntary work abroad with an emerging nation, so although he probably doesn't have the knowledge needed, he will have some I would think, and probably more than some on here.
I caught up with him over a beer at a game last year, and he was saying about ideas of generating extra income. Some of the ideas I don't think were that bad. I wonder how many fans have actually thought, are there any ways, we can get more people through the door, to generate more income?
As for the doom and gloom bit, and the grim reaper bit. Lets be honest, there was probably a lot of fans that felt down at this time. I recall this morning, the interview at the end of the MPG, and I will be honest, I wasn't that confident that MC would be running the club, much longer after that, the way things were worded. Maybe, just maybe, he thought that, at the time of writing his posts, and didnt think MC's heart was fully in it at that point

Second account then EW
As a few have already said, EW is nowhere near the worst poster on this forum..

All joking apart, it's another indication of how far we've come in such a short time. Long may it continue!

He is a loyal fan of the club, and has been for much longer than I have been married to him. Maybe he does have faults his biggest for me is listening to the gossip in the local chippy because they know absolutely nothing about rugby, it is because sometimes he's been a little too passionate in what he says, and gets too excited and carried away with the moment.
I have read all of his posts, and I will be honest, I dont agree with much of what he says, I dont ever think for one moment that he has a clue how to run a club, but I don't recall him saying about having knowledge on how to run a rugby club he might have thought it but he's never said it.
He has played the sport to a decent standard at Eastmoor Dragons, worked within more than one super league club the other one being Hull KR as well as ours, and done some voluntary work abroad with an emerging nation when we went on a fortnights holiday to the Ukraine, so although he doesn't have the knowledge needed he will have some, I would think reading all the rose tinted glasses brigade, he will probably know more than some of them on here.
I caught up with him over a beer or three at a barbeque at our house last year when I was busy hosting family and friends from the Hull KR club, and he was saying about the good ideas of generating extra income he had for the club, most of the ideas were silly, but there was a couple that I don't think were that bad. I wonder how many fans have actually thought as much as him about how many different ways there are to get more people through the door, to generate more income?
As for the doom and gloom bit, and the grim reaper bit Lets be honest, we all get carried away when we've consumed too much, there was probably a lot of fans that felt at this time that my Andy was probably overthinking things, I recall this morning over breakfast with Andy the interview at the end of the MPG, and I will be honest, he wasn't that confident that MC would be running the club much longer after that, the way things were worded convinced us of that. Maybe, just maybe, he thought that, at the time of writing his posts, he was convinced that MC's heart was not fully in it at that point'"
