I reckon a lot of people will take as long as they need to take to weigh up the situation before committing to the offer. The 10 who have already committed may already be aware of all the details. The vast majority of other people are not.

Wont get past 100

Pretty much sums it up for me I'm afraid.

Very Optimistic there Mirfield.

i will not put any money in while ted richardson is associated with our club..i have watched wakefield trinity for over 30 years and can not believe the incompetence and total dis respect for the supporters of the club! why has it taken so long for this to come out? if it had been announced 4 months ago then people would have had a chance to save money etc but the "board" kept it quiet! last minute begging..LET THE BOARD QUIT AND MAYBE PEOPLE WOULD THEN PUT IN SOME MONEY!
ps..hope we are still alive for catalan because i have already booked!!!!

Spot on!

Going through the motions because if/when the administrators walk through the door, as the BOD probably know they will on the 1st Feb, then expect Ted to say that the BOD have been trying their best for the last few weeks to avoid this but in the end the fans let us down!!

The thing is now the BOD must realize that the chances of 500 people coming forward before the 31st are virtually nil. The meeting we are led to believe is to discuss the formation of a Supporters Trust.
So whatever is going to happen why can't it happen immediatlely, why have another 3 weeks of going through the motions before the medicine is administered.The patient is waiting for it.It will only make the recovery longer.
Come clean, tell the truth, there's very little chance of a reprieve. So why wait any longer ?

I think you might as well for all the good it will do true WFWC fans.

That is a fairly good point, as it will give us breathing space before the start of the season. But what if the HMRC agree an individual payment plan with the club. For example, the club can give the taxman a big grin and say that if you want the money, you're going to have to agree instalments, because if you force us into administration, you can swivel on this for your money (at which point Daddy Cool raises a big foam finger).

Yes but the Revenue may also take the view that the situation will be reacurring with the present incumbants and that they will forever be trading at a loss as they have not demonstrated otherwise, so then decide to force the issue.
Which if you look at the present this may have already happened and a payment plan will not be acceptable to them and refused.
But we are all in the dark arn't we

Now that would almost be worth a grand to see.

10 actual investors is laughable but in all reality its a realistic figure for the way the club tried to actually get investors to sign up.

Sadly its the end, but I agree with a few on here, you know full well the blame will be shifted to the supporters way for not saving the club. Everything will be our fault etc...

We should all go down to Belle Vue on Feb 1st, bend over on the pitch so Ted could give us a spanking for not saving him.

I don't think that will be possible if the happenings at Batley are set in concrete.The chairman did continue some dialogue on the Widnes forum,but here is a link with his experience.

I suppose we are nearer to the Batley situation than Crusaders, in that the Welsh club were bogged down by a previous owner's debt, whereas with us, it's the same old same old.

But is an agreed repayment plan an indebtedness? Tax is owed by every club probably about twice a year. It's called a tax demand. So the RFL can't suspend all play until the newest tax demand is paid. And my knowledge of company law may be flawed, but I assume that if the HMRC force us to wind up, they'll never get the money.

Or does that depend on how we own Belle Vue; ie, do we still own half of Belle Vue (in which case, HMRC could put a charge on it, which would force repayment when Cala Homes complete the full sale), or do Cala Homes own all of it, with an agreement that we can use it, rent free, until such as time we get a new ground, or they want to complete the purchase, whichever is the latest? Because without Belle Vue, I would have thought that the HMRC would get nothing if they wind us up, and other than sending a message out, I can't see how that benefits them. As a taxpayer, I want the country to get that £350,000, not see it thrown away on "making a point."
