Quote: Tricky2309 "Not convinced this announcement is going to be enough to retain our sl status and therefore in my opinion it is not the most important meeting in the clubs history. In fact it has a bit of a feel of one of those infamous time share invites, promises a lot but when you get there, you feel disappointed

If this lottery is easiest way to get to 5000 members, why are we just unveiling it now?'"


Because time is desperate

Maybe you haven't noticed that all season we have been trying to push Silver memberships etc almost to the point of giving them awaywhen you look at the offers that have been made available
e.g. Get a silver membership for £10 and then get your Harlequins ticket for £10 - or pay £20 to get in (to me that is a no brainer - it is a free silver membership)
and yet all those so called stay-aways that wouldn't come when Ted was in charge still stay away

AG and JE have been trying to push memberships all season and the people of Wakefield have not come forward in sufficient numbers despite saying they would if Ted was to leave. Now our backs are to the wall and we have to do something and do it quick.

It's a personal choice but I'd rather have a pint less a week and put that money into trying to retain our Super League status - let's just hope there are other sufficient numbers who feel the same.

Think too much speculation has had people expecting ridiculous things on here. I was happy about last night. Some people need to get real on here and appreciate what he's done for us.

Quote: RebelRebel "We were told by the previous regime that we couldn't develop BV because of objections from the local community. We were told we couldn't develop BV because the terraces were built on some kind of ash, and it would be too expensive to develop on this. We were told by the previous regime that BV would be protected as an asset for the club against investors who only had an eye on the value of the land.

I understand the blah, blah, blah stuff, because I've been living it along with the rest of you for long enough now. The goodwill well has run dry.'"


Looks like the epic Sir Olivier Elima v Diane Rogerson battle about ground improvements has a different spin to it now.

We can [ifinally[/i move forward with an honest team on board.

I suppose you could call it progress now that you have finally realised Mr W has been leading your lot up the garden path icon_lol.gif

You hoodwinked yourselves. SWAG, the old regime and the new have all learned one thing - NM is the key and without it we are just treading water. That said and given the limited options I think they have done their best.

I personally like the stopping at BV though logistically Oakwell was better. I fel once a club leaves it's home and becomes another clubs tenant they are nomadic. This is OK if it is only temporary - but as we have seen things never go to plan. Whatever happens IMO staying at BV until NM happens is a must.

I said in an earlier post these meetings usually involve a begging bowl and this did in a way, but I'm not annoyed as perhaps AG is owed one shot at that.

Those (and there were many) claiming you heard it here first knowledge of Steve Parkin and co stepping in have made absolute fools of themselves. Give your heads a shake and smell the coffee.

I've said it umpteen time, Trinity have been a bankrupt club since the 1970's. You can scapegoat Ted or Rodders or even AG if you wish but the horrid truth is that no one including AG will throw real money at this club until we are at NM. It's been like that for 30 years. AG has offered to speculate on a SL franchise, I don't think we can ask for much more right now.

I think a SL approved Belle Vue is better than NM, but only if the terraces are made steeper, as the view for teens and kids is terrible. NM is just so bloody far from built up areas that if we have a poor run crowds may get terrible. I think we just get a bit envious of stadiums like the KC etc and forget just how unsuitable NM is.

I have to laugh it the child like nature of this post. So five month in and with only one side of the story you consider this board any more honest than the last - on what evidence exactly.

We had all the same meetings 10 - 20 -30 years ago and nothing happened.

As the old Who song goes "we won't get fooled again" unless of course we are a section of Trinity fans who belong in the cast of life of Brian.

Give the new mob a chance, but for heavens sake save your melodramatic adoration nonsense until they actually deliver. icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

Do you never listen, you certainly never learn.

Still anyone who hero worships a thug like Sykes and a third rater like Leano clearly has issues.

At last vasty you're softening and starting to talk sense, lets give AG a chance, I'm certain thats all he asks.

If he delivers this, and he's delivered on almost everything else he will be one step ahead of the dissapointers of the past.

The difference is between then and now is that they listen to the fans, they are delivering what the fans want, the fans have to appreciate their part to play in this, and they are trying to mobilise the support.

Unlike in the past, just pi$$ing off the supporters, who in turn stopped supporting the club and hey presto we stop giving the tax man his dues.

A vicious circle that will inevitably lead to there being no Pro RL in the city of Wakefield.

Just out of interest did you go last night?

I thought so too. PP may be required for a roof over the North Stand.

Re the thread title

Driving through Cas this morning looked in my rear view mirror and saw smoke in the wake, I thought it was Hicksons then realised it has closed down, the smoke was deffo on Weldon Road it reminded me of the Vatican wonder what all this smoke and my mirror was telling me should be an entertaining few weeks of media ping pong in the District.

that said where does if what AG plans comes off leave the likes of Salford, new ground yes but can they touch Cas and Wakey on the pitch over the last 3 years no!

Didn't need to I'd read the script (well most of it) eusa_whistle.gif

Glad I didn't sounded like a bit of a crush.
