Quote: newgroundb4cas "At least the new regime are TRYING to make improvements to a club that was on its knees. The old regime had years upon years to put a stand up AG did it in 6 month!'"


You miss the point.

It's nothing to do with Ted or AG it's to do with the general state of the club and the ground IMO. BV has been improved significantly over the past 20 years starting with the floodlights, boxes, new toilet blocks and new barriers. All this cost it just happens that the latest and most visible was the roof.

The sad fact is that despite AG's best efforts I fear we still don't generate enough cash to run a SL club at a level to compete. We are not alone just look at Salford and even Bradford.

I assume you are young. Thus a bit of history. After the Hillsborough disaster a lot of clubs were clobbered by new ground rules (by law). BV was hit harder than most and money earmarked for a new stand was continually diluted to meet these new criteria, the floodlights being an expensive one along with the underpinning of the kop.

I feel very sorry for anyone who takes on WTRLFC the BV version unless of course they are midas rich which would be nice.

I wouldn't argue that BV is a millstone that will drag down whomever owns the club, so long as it is based there; NM can't happen soon enough.

Quote: TURFEDOUT "Firstly to use carphone warehouse as an example,is just silly.They are part of a international group of companies,established for over 25 years,with a positive(millions and millions) balance sheet.Not a new start business with a negative balance sheet.
Secondly the dispute has already been resolved --- by the court -- we lost!!!

The facts are quite simple,weve been found against by the court in each of these matters.We could then still have avoided having the ccj registered and in the public domain,if we had then paid up within 30 days.
I dont have an issue with businesses going to court over disputes,but it is foolish in the extreme once youve been found against not to pay up within 30 days.'"


I disagree, to use carphone warehouse as an example is not silly at all, it fully supports my point. A big, well known and financially strong company has CCJ's against them. Do you think any less of CPW or think they will go bust? Do you think they have financial troubles? I suspect you don't. So to say it is a silly example is missing my point completely.

CPW lost their CCJ against me. CPW lost. The court ruled in my favour. If the court ruled against Wakefield Trinity does that mean the situation is vastly different?

Only the club know the true ins and outs of this CCJ, we can just see the public record.

I think, as I said before, people should calm down unless they know the facts.

Quote: vastman "It's not "like" it's exactly the same.

I said this until I was blue in the face and continually got shot down by certain poster. The old regime didn't fail because they were incompetent or especially dodgy. They failed because eventually they were overwhelmed by a business simply incapable of sustaining itself at a SL level in it's present circumstances.

The line between success and failure is as narrow off the pitch as on. It is BV tah simply cannot produce the income required - it never could and it never will. NM will not offer drastically more revenue certainly not at the begining. However the difference will probably be enough for us to be on the right side of survival - just.

Until then we will limp into NM with the BOD having to borrow/lend to keep us afloat. If they manage it and it's not guaranteed the new stadium and a hopefully improved economy (an issue many on here don't seem to register) will see us through.

Before the AG protector brigade come along, I'm not blaming him or his people for anything - it was always an impossible ask for the last owner and it will remain so for this one for a few years yet.

Best of luck I'll question your logic on that one, the rest i wholly agree with though.
Ted's business failed on the back of the point you raised not the club.
The club (and Ted) failed because of incompetency and dodginess almost completely.
Incompetent at bringing in investment and speculating on ways of moving the club forward and making the most of what it had in order to improve and go forward, incompetent at spotting the deserting fans and the reasons of dissatisfaction amongst those fans.
A mixture of incompitance and greed at not handing the club on when he had the opportunuty and taking us right up to the abyss.
As for dodgy, the lack of support from the RFL was probably a reflection of this, based on the years of lies and failed promises handed out in the direction of Red Hall.
A view held largely by the media and the watching RL public i might add.
Also the lack of support shown by the drifting dissatisfied fans and when he came out with the begging bowl prior to us going pop, the air of distrust shown by the fans was more than evident.
So, sorry i dont go along with that premise at all - i guess that won't come as much of a surprise though!!!

Sorry,but youve just highlighted yourself why its silly to compare the two.
"Big,well known and financially strong" add into that well established,everything Spirit of 1873 isnt.

I havent suggested anyone is going bust/having financial troubles.

Any new start business attracting this amount of adverse info is doing itself no favours at all.
The public record is what every single financial institution will use to establish the strength of the business.

No surprise - best I can say is you had to be there to know how it really was whilst fully accepting not everybody could be.

From a catering firm. The owner really has a cheek was caught with sticky fingers in too many wakey pies. I wouldn't have paid the little scrote up either after what he did

Thought it was a company owed money by Northampton RLFC who went under and because we were involved with them at the time they are trying to claim it off us. Heard we've been advised not to pay it as we don't owe it and the RFL are one of the parties that advised us. Nothing to see the future is good for our great club.

Quote: Khlav Kalash "I suppose that depends on whether its can't pay or won't pay.'"

So from the past few posts it is a case of won't pay.

I wonder if the club are considering any legal action against this person who is seemingly dragging their name through the mud with, if I've understood correctly, unreasonable claims.
