Some fantastic ideas on here, why don't we get together to see how we could bring them to reality? I'm sure the club would give us a room FOC.

Monday night Belle Vue 7pm

Would it be possible to issue one of the staff or even better one of the players with a video camera. All the events of the close season could be recorded and extended in to the new season. Trinity diaries could be shown on the web page but to access a fee paid either up front or on a weekly basis. The recordings taken would have to edited but could produce a 20/ 30 mins program every week.
The recordings would reflect the ups and downs of our club, with training, meeting , changing rooms before kick off and some private footage.
I don't think a fiver on a weekly basis or £100 for the full season would be out of the way.

Will Mr Carter/Elston/Glover be in attendance?

we will know the fine details nearer the time. Its not a time for looking back but to look forward

There are indeed some good ideas but they need coordinating. The Club needs big money and fast but it will also need cash during next season and beyond and some of these ideas can help with that.

We lost WiSCA who used to do such stuff but maybe the Trust could assist with the coordination.

Glover is keeping his head down in America. Elston is keeping a very low profile on twitter at the moment when he used to be a regular poster so it may just be Mr Carter at least we will get the truth from him.

I know this keeps being said, but many of the mistakes made recently have been by not learning from the past.

How about raffles on game day?
8000 home fans £1 per ticket on entry....

Be a mascot rather than it be given to friends and family of the club how about charging for letting kids run out with players..

If away games are being show on sky how about selling tickets to watch it at the catsbar..

fact is as an accountant i would imagine mr carer has already done a cost / benefit analysis on every area of the business and every post on the payroll, including the retention and disposal costs of those posts, second fact is companies are not going to speculate on advertising in a lottery situation so we can forget that, all advertisinig, again is viewed as viable by its potential return, and if for the losers its nil they wont do it.

but my main point and one that will get me strung up no doubt is that we may be better to drop a league and build rather as a successful club again, rather than flounder on as a struggling team.

and finally stop all talk of newmarket being the savoiur, in hindsight (yes i know!) it has deflected time resources and effort of willing and able people away from the day to day survival of the club


ps was going to edit mr carer, but actually its nearer bloody true!!

1. Close the shop in the Ridings Centre and sell merchandise on line and at the ground only.

2. Approach big companies in the Wakefield area for sponsorship such as the Wakefield Shirt company or the Car Supermarket Place at Denby Dale Road that was mentioned on another discussion willing to support the club but ignored.

3. Is there something we can do to appeal to those fans of the great Wakefield Trinity film of 'This Sporting Life' such as Mickey Rourke/Russell Crowe who were great admirers of Richard Harris playing Frank Machin. Or approach The Rank Group who have a net income of £164 million per year as they financed the film in 1963 at a cost 0f £230,000. Think they'll still be making money out of the 2008 DVD release ....

Might be worth a cheeky punt?
