We're all Trin aren't we?:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76901.jpg



Quote: alegend "Can we stop all this back stabing , When the loan is paid off to the council we will own the ground ,We have got a guy in charge who as said ,he is getting us back into S L .Salford are way in det and unlike us ,are not paying any thing back on the loan the Council gave them .If they do pay it off, they still will not own the ground. This is the best thing that as happens to this club off the field in my 69 year of watching them.My problem is at my age I hope I see us get back into S L and win something ,my other problem is we still got fans pulling the club to bits now. Some fans on here do not no when to shut up .'"

Group hug guys icon_biggrin.gif

The thing we do all agree, including Mopsey is that we are in a dream situation for a Wakefield fan, even those that remember the 60s.
We have earned this by turning up when getting beaten 70-0 and still coming the week after, year after year.

I'm really excited for what Ellis and Powell can do for the club.
Clearly we all, even I, who is openly all about the IMG stuff, want to just see the team winning and competing with the big guns. I don't think those days are too far away.
I can't wait for that first game.

Quote: PopTart "Group hug guys Well we’ve had the group hug, let’s get back to the on the Mire topic. Having taken time to read and ponder the Salford statement, it appears to me they have very clever by design and orchestrating and choosing the right moment for this announcement.
Salford Council, like every other council in England, are cash strapped, but are knee deep in the Salford Mire themselves. The RFL/Super League, are about to announce the 2024 season fixture list, and the Salford public have already raised tens of thousands £. It seems to me that everyone has been backed into the corner by the Salford club into ensuring the club survives. Salford council is Damed by the tax payers if it provides precious funds for the club st the expense of more worthy tax payers projects, the RFL/Super League, can’t afford to replace Salford with another club at this late stage, therefore, a compromise will follow to provide funding for the club. Remember the behind closed doors secret deal between RFL and the Bulls over the Odsal lease, I think that has worked out a loss of £350,000 of RFL club members money.
I have said elsewhere, Salford have been living beyond their means for years, I now think no more throwing good money after bad.

Quote: PopTart "Group hug guys
A skeleton was created by the previous BOD. Ellis now has chance to put meat on the bone. Without the previous BOD, he wouldn't. He's rich and he's shrewd, but he's not devine, he cannot raise the dead, he needed a start, and he still needs all the help he can get.

After the collapse of NM we were basically on life support, that ten million has got us into the recovery ward, that is the legacy of the previous board. Matt's legacy might be far more exciting, or at least we all hope so, but they all count. Nothing worthwhile is ever created solely by one person.

Why people can't give those people who came before some credit and respect baffles me. Even if they had actually been inept I can't see the point, but in this case they weren't.

Next time I see John or Michael or any of the rest of them, I'll give them a handshake, but they can buy the beers. icon_biggrin.gif

I don't really care if I ever meet Matt Ellis, all I know is that I believe he has a very good chance of being the man who finally brings this great club back to full health. My purchase of a season ticket will be my pledge of support. The expression 'the king is dead, long live the king' has been used for a thousand years when a new monarch is crowned, and for good reason, it works. Let the past be the past, and use all your energies to create a better future is what it means, and I think we should all buy into that sentiment.

Onwards we go......

It will be interesting, and a real show of intent. I think nothing has frustrated Wakefield fans over the years more than the inability of our teams to match expectations, and win those special games that get the club noticed. Winning million pound games is great, but in truth they are games between failed teams, where survival and not glory is the only reward. A Trinity team that goes out there to win for the joy of winning, and doing so because they want to be the best - most of us can't even remember that - we've had glimpses, but that's all.

If all goes as we hope, this new era should be fantastic fun.

In think that despite the fact that we have been relegated I'm feeling far more happy than I have for the last four seasons. Most of us, I'm sure, believe that we are on the threshold of a brand new era for Trinity and cannot wait for the new year. Oh! and by the way, nice to see vasty back in action like him or loathe him.

Really feel for the fans on this one, and so glad we're not in the same predicament.

Someone on the RWB Army page wree saying there is a possibility that they could lose their super league place, and be replaced by a championship club. If it were to happen and it to be us, although our squad is starting to come together, not sure how competetive it would be just now.

Also, if we were to continue working on the stadium, it might be to our benefit in doing so, if our crowds were a little lower, than what they would be for super league games.

Personally, I'd be looking if we could take any of their players, if they were to fit us, to reduce their salary cap spend

You’re in the hardest league to get out of. Good luck even with your IMG presents.

I don’t think there’s a single post on here, even from the most optimistic Trinity fan to indicate getting out of the championship will be easy and a foregone conclusion.
As for our IMG ‘Presents’ they came as a result of hard work by the club management of the time and not as a gift.

It certainly won't be easy, and there will be clubs who will wany to take a swipe at us, such as Fev, Bradford and Toulouse. I am, however confident.

I think the phrase Shaun Wallace uses in the Chase comes to mind, you know me, I dont take anything for granted.

Nobody doubts that. But I think even you would concede that as everyday passes we are looking stronger.

All any Championship team fan can ask for is that there team is one of those with a realistic chance of promotion. I think we would probably have been in that list even without Ellis, like a number of teams. Now we've nosed our way up the list, but for now it's all speculation. After all nobody thought London would do it, or that Fev would fail so badly, so that's proof positive that money doesn't always get results.

Mercenary though it sounds, I'd happily take Salfords place, sounds far easier.
