| Quote Sandal Cat="Sandal Cat"I can understand where everyone is coming from and there has been no one more peed off with the performances than me. I've hardly seen an away game the second half of the season I've been so brassed off but we are at a crossroads.
The next 8 weeks are the most crucial in the club's history. We have a winding up order, a search for new owners/investors and an important planning decision on 22nd October. If we fail in this we will have no club to support but if all falls into place I think we will have a great deal to look forward to.
For what its worth I'm confident that everything will fall into place - not like me I know being a pessimist by nature but I really do believe it will all come together. So much so that this afternoon I not only renewed my "season ticket/hospitality package" but also my sponsorship for next season.
=#FF0000I know things are difficult and we have not been entertained this season but the Club needs us all now more than ever if we are to survive these difficult few weeks. I urge as many of you as possible to renew your tickets, sponsorship or whatever you do because without us the fans there will be no club.
Better times are just around the corner - I genuinely believe that.'"
 Thats the bottom line, help now and give the club a lifeline or play a part in the demise of our club, its that simple. No murky grey bits just black and white.

| Quote TRB="TRB"I can't.
The only thing I can say is that my intention is to try to give the club the best possible chance of paying it's dues and having a little left towards new recruitments. It's chicken and egg time, only HMRC are strangling the chicken so there are few eggs appearing. If we don't pay - the club have no money - if they have no money then we can't pay bills and can't sign players. If we do pay.....
I am not, and have not, said that there is anything against being critical of the club - so please don't throw that one at me. I'm putting one side (an unpopular one at that) of the argument and you can put yours.
FWIW, I completely agree about the lack of information - and it frustrates the hell out of me as to why we continue to be so poor in that area!
However, if WE are to have a positive effect on the club, then WE need as many people as possible to buy ST's.......'"
Well said Phil  ....
FWIW I got ours last week, and was proud to do so, albeit it cost me more than I was expecting as we no longer qualify for a family ticket, as my eldest is now a student, so my bank balance is now £465 lighter
BUT.... we are all loyal fans in our household, and would be lost without our Sunday afternoon rugby at Belle Vue (or Newmarket  ).
I can understand peoples apathy to a certain extent after the season we have just endured, but Phil is right..... do you want more of the same next season (or even NO RUGBY AT ALL !!!), or as so-called Loyal Supporters, do we all put our hands in our pockets and SUPPORT OUR TEAM when it needs us most ?????
P.S... Phil, you can buy me a beer next time I see you

People feel they're being shat on. Lied to. Fed false promises. Taken for granted.
Whether true or not, it's easy to see why they may think that.

Its a good job I'm thick skinned.
Seriously I understand the way people feel, indeed I feel the same way also. I could either say f' the club or get behind them, its my choice as it is all of of us and I've chosen for all the faults with the Club to support them and give them another chance because it could well be our last chance.
I do believe that in around 8 weeks we will all feel a damned lot happier.
Chappie, hope to see you in Perpignan again and I would reciprocate and spill beer on you if it wasn't so damned expensive.

The time the media manager could actually earn his keep is now, so what do the club do get rid of him (can't be paying him that much as part time) and we get Teds Daughter and her ramblings.
Fans have been taken for granted for too long - the club needs to wake up and address this and quickly. If they really need the fans to buy Season Tickets now, then say so and explain why (given Teds daughters assurances HMRC nothing to worry about) and also tell us what players have been signed.

Far be it for me to answer for Phil, I don't think he is, he just chooses a different approach to channel the frustration into something that could help the club out of the mess they're in.
I completely understand why people are holding back, that's their choice, and the loudest critics usually peddle the fact they feel they get set on when they post their thoughts, but recently their has been a swing in the balance where anyone who shows support for the club gets mocked for doing so. That's the bit I don't get.
If people want to take their bat home and keep hold of their money, fine, but don't expect things to improve next season.

| Well I'm renewing my season ticket this weekend, I'm not in the rose tinted brigade but I'm a WAKEFIEILD TRINITY supporter. The new stadium is our life line and good news on the 22 Oct followed by a steady season until we move into Newmarket and we will get a franchise.
We are all Trinity supporters on here and want whats best for the club ands if the club came out and were honest with and we all worked together we can succeed, weather the storm and get into newmarket, new owners and fulfull this clubs potential on and off the pitch.

| Season Ticket number 37 ready for 2011.
Bought mine the day after the Salford game & just before the tax man came in to view !!
Surely all the diehard supporters we have on this site should be buying a s/ticket if not for any other reason than it will be the last season superleague will be played at belle vue.

You're so wrong - I feel it just as everyone else does, but I'm not prepared to throw away everything we've worked for and, when you start on that premise, then you must continue to nudge and nurture as much as you can.
5 Years ago last Friday was the first big meeting for me as a SWAG representative. I was called to a meeting at the Town Hall with Ed Balls, Mary Creagh, Peter Box and Denise Jeffrey, John Foster and Andy Wallhead. Also there were Ted & Eric and Diane. I had to leave my mum whilst she was taken to hospital and following the meeting I had to find out where she was in Pinders. When I got there she was unwell, but well looked after. A couple of hours later I left her, as she seemed stable and comfortable. Another couple of hours later I got the call.  In the meantime I had the chance to explain the meeting and what we had been trying to achieve - my mum was very proud of me and my efforts. That was one night that I will never forget!
I hope this goes someway towards explaining why I am persistent in trying to keep things going and if anyone is irritated by my constant 'clubman' view then I am sorry, but I have to continue - whoever is running our club (although I am only sorry that Ted doesn't have the funding to do what he, and all of us, would like to do with our club).
Together we are Stronger!

| I hope the club sorts the tax situation out for the next year as if we don't move into Newmarket for 2011, season ticket sales will be down the toilet if the games are at Oakwell.

I don't recall anyone saying that they would not buy a season ticket, they just decided it was better for them to wait. How exactly does that put them on the soap box. I am sorry to say this but the silent majority as you put it obviously like the mushroom treatment
