Well put. And sadly you get the feeling it might continue to get worse before it gets any better.

Yes we must be, otherwise why would we spend our spare time and cash on this club.
Together we are touched.

| Some things in life are bad ![Crying or Very sad icon_cry.gif](images/smilies//icon_cry.gif) , They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle ![PRAY icon_razz.gifRAY:](images/smilies//eusa_pray.gif) , Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best. ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

Without question its another kick in the guts, but its only rugby.
Our supporters prediction league donation this year went to the Wakefield Hospice, the people who use this service and their families are the ones who are down and frankly would love to have "only our problem".
As dissapointed as i am, we are still alive and very much kicking and have much to look forward to.

Very much this.
As nice as it was to have a false sense of security for the last 2 seasons, as far as being a Trinity supporter this is pretty much standard. A squad made up of cast offs and unfancied players fighting to retain their spot in SL. I would've thought we're all accustomed to that by now.

I too am in agreement on this. I follow a remarkable doctor from Wakefield on twitter called Kate Granger who has terminal cancer and has the most remarkable spirit, she inspires me to be positive and always put things into perspective.
I can't wait for the next season for so many more reasons than the team we can put out on the field.
The quality time me and my family spend together and the team spirit you always witness from the Wakefield dressing room to name but two.
We are down but definitely not OUT for next year and you need only look at the number of topics and comments that are put on here compared to other clubs to appreciate the strength and resilience of Wakefield Trinity fans.

| I don't post too often anymore but feel I need to sometimes and this is one such time.
Like everyone else I'm feeing a little despondent at times and have to dig deep to find some reserves of positivity to keep me going.
When I look at the team as it stands today, it's still fairly competitive and certainly not bottom two material, factor in some siege mentality, which we do best, and with players not worrying about being paid and we could surprise a few next year, including ourselves.
As it stands our line up looks like,
Mathers
Fox, Collis, Smith, Cockayne
Sykes, Goulding (or overseas signing)
Poore, Aiton, Raleigh
Kirmond, Lauitiiti
Washbrook
Wildie, Smith, Tautai, Lyne, Anakin, Walshaw, Trout, Kaye?
Even if we lose a couple from that team it's certainly not the worst squad we've had in recent seasons.

| We allways suport our team. and our spirit of never giving up we hope will rub off on players and board.
Now having said that things will get worse and not sure we have the right stratergy to get out of this mess.
Unless someone convinces the rest of the suporters we have then am afraid season ticket sales new merchandise [shirts in december is pretty late }
We will generate the income we need resulting in more player sales.

| Until we reach a point where income starts to come in and we can afford to speculate it will be as it is now.
That point grows ever closer and every week that goes by and we keep the squad we have shows what work is going on in the background to balance the books and reduce the defecit.
We may not be bringing in players now, but we aren't loosing them every week either, and so the squad remains largely intact.
Of course the sooner that point comes the better, and if people are holding on to their hard earned for any other reason than of necesity, i would suggest that income now may well be better than income in a month or two's time.
There will no doubt be players still to go, many are rumoured certainly but until any of that becomes fact i don't see the point of prophesising doom on a biblical proportion. As pointed out people have real problems and this is just RL at the end of the day.
If you can - get it spent now though!!

| We can sit here feeling down/despondent/disappointed with where we are but that won't improve things.
WE (the supporters Wakefield Trinity) can actually make a difference to what happens next year if we really want to.
That team that The Clan has posted is certainly good enough to win games, and yes, we may lose another couple of those but if enough of us want it we can stop that happening and we can actually help to add to it.
This club has been a big part of my life for more years than I care to think about now and I hope it continues to be so for me and my 2 sons (and for the wife's sake who gets a temporary reprieve from me once a week!!).
What's gone is gone, nothing can change it. What is yet to come is within our control if WE choose to make it so.

This!!!!!
Too many people i speak to have the view that what are the club doing to bring me back next season, personally at times like this an attitude of what can i do to improve situations for us all is the better option.
Think not of what your club can do for you, but what you can do for your club...and all that jazz!!!
Ill copyright that for any future merchandise opportunities!!!

In all honesty I think we will be going down before we go up - if we can manage to survive in the championship as a pro club and get out in 1 year we will be much stronger
