I thought we were 'building the team around DK'? I can take losing Aiton, Smith, Poore, they all had their off games but Kirmond always gave 100% and seemed Wakefield through and through! If he's gone then I can't see the club selling many more season tickets!

i bought my s,t when mc said he would build a team around dk,
if he is sold i will be the first to cancel my s.t ,
the club are doing nothing at all to try and get fans to buy there s.t.
if the club was 400k under capitalized not in dept ,then the 400k as been saved on the wages of the players gone alone.
all it is with mc is money money money never mind the paying fans

hes the ken bates of rugby league

Fair enough but i would ask do you support Wakefield Trinity RLFC or names in shirts?

Don't know what honest fans have done to deserve this gapshire, we deserve better after all the crap we've been through over the years.

yes we do deserve better, el rey , but its true , we are being lied to all the time,
dont you agree,
when he said if we sell 3000 st no one would go, i rushed out and signed up for 2 platinums,
680 pound ,do you think its fair on me now all the players have gone wich i paid to watch.

Forget about Kirmond going it may never happen, it may be a rumour.

However its the wider picture that interests me. We are selling players and clubs
are willing to buy them and pay transfer fees. However people are happy with that
because they think when we stop selling we will go out and build a team with new players.

Who are these players ? and why are the clubs that are buying ours not signing them ?

Personally, the job I have is a very demanding and time consuming one, I am always bringing work home and far too often have to offload the kids at weekends to get caught up. Going to watch Wakey takes a good four plus hours from my family time, sorry but I am not willing to give that up to watch a selling, uncompetitive club that just keeps letting us fans down. I need to see evidence that we want to compete next year and all I'm currently seeing is evidence that we are setting ourselves up to be Leeds 'dual reg' team in the Championship.

Good point Jack.
Of course the Kirmo thing is just rumour at present but, IF we've sold him for 200k, then its good business, regardless of the fact that he's our captain.
However, what/who we will have next season is going to make the Kear squad of 3 seasons ago, look like world beaters and it's certainly going to test the "loyalty" of even our most die hard fans.

The silence from the club on the website is deafening and I have to say that our new management are not giving anything whatsoever to the fans right now.

An interesting tactic for boosting income and generating S/T sales

But if your figure is correct, it still doesn't help the current situation, those savings are for next season not today. If HMRC come calling or the gas bill arrives on the doormat, what do you pay them with?
The money we get from transfer fees, season ticket and merchandise sales, sponsors daft enough to pay now before the season starts etc is what pays the £400k we needed to pay bills (and this figure is apparently rising as items 'come out of the woodwork')

Tut tut






With regard to the second part, as I have said previously on another post, we've 3 months to go, a little patience is in order. Now go and change a nappy, that will keep you busy

Yes I've heard the same. However The dynamic duo have been gone for quite a while now and carter has been in charge a good three months. Seems a bit strange that people who are owed money have waited all this time to start demands.
I would have thought they would have an accurate financial picture long before now. Still we can only accept what we are told, time will tell.

5 pages of what could just be a rumour, Danny was at the book launch yesterday not sure if anyone asked him or not
