I think the (I trust M Carter) is the call. If the club could send a flyer to all season ticket holders,outlining the plan and and proposed meeting held by the supporters trust. |

| We need to identify major companies that have had a long affinity to Wakefield where sponsorship would increase the profile and their customer base even more. What about Greggs to approach as a shirt sponsor? 
Greggs Bakery Wakefield started his activity in 1951, when John Gregg opened his first small bakery. Since then the Greggs Bakery Wakefield became one of the largest bakery company in UK. With over 1600 shops they want to open another 600 new shops. Visit the Greggs Bakery Wakefield, in Wakefield, at 6 Kirkgate Way, All Saints Wal, WF1 1US.
They have an annual turnover of £739 million and a profit of nearly £54 million. Their head office is in Newcastle but they've had a bakery in Wakefield for over 60 years (seemed to do a bit better than Hoffmans over the years).
The money from the fans alone may not be enough whatever they say(remember Bradford last time?) we need local business to contribute. |

The History of Double TWO now THE WAKEFIELD SHIRT COMPANY - Possible Sponsor to approach
The company was founded in 1940 by Mr Isaac Donner and Mr Frank Myers to make and sell men’s shirts.
A small room for a factory was found on the fourth floor of a building in Kirkgate, Wakefield, and over a period of a very few years the partners gradually bought up the whole of the building and developed it into a large shirt-blouse factory.
In 1946, when the war was over and the men returned to working in Britain’s factories and farms, a big market developed in men’s shirts, which was the original speciality of Mr Donner and Mr Myers. They therefore switched the bulk of production to collar-attached shirts.......With these two products both selling well, and ladies’ shirts once more back in the range, Double TWO needed to expand its production further, and in 1952 the company acquired a large wool textile mill on an eight acre site to the south of Wakefield.

I will be there on Sunday shouting the boys on! I wont lie, I am miffed. Elston needs to go! Why the cheerleaders are getting paid that stupid amount I will never know, tbh I would rather watch young kids (lads & lasses alike) showcasing my sport! Very honest interview from Mr Carter, hard facts that many don't like/want to hear but he would have been slated if he didn't tell the truth. People who want to walk away, well that is their prerogative, I cannot comment as people have different situations! All is I can say to those going, take your tin hats and prepare for a bit of stick from 'some' (not all as many want to see our rivalry continue) Tigers fans, ignore them whatever the score and get behind the team! Because we, Wakefield, deserve better! Red, White and Blue forever, not just for glory!

Lets be honest not company will be looking at Wakefield and thinking its a good idea at the moment.....what else can the fans and club do to raise the funds? what did Bradford do?
its time to get together and chip in...Fan nights,auctions etc......
Should the RFL save the club.....
Should the club sell players and start again.....
Should the club go into championship until they have a stable financial footing....
I think its about time the club came out and said who the debts are too, because I feel there is far more than meets the eye with this...

2. He said he also had a letter from AG giving an undertaking that he wouldn't pull his money out.'"
I hope the letter is a binding legal document because a letter doesn't stop him changing his mind at some time in the future. Nick Rigg describe it only as an 'handshake' which is totally worthless. |

We are discussing the possibilities, including the mechanics of it. Can't say much more just yet, but clearly we would be keen to see this happen if it can be worked. |

TRB has also mentioned this already but we are looking into this.
As you have already said 400 people putting in £1,000 would go along way to solving our problems. However we believe that the investment should be in the form of shares rather than just a "donation". Having said that we don't want to be in the position like Bradford where people "donated" £500,000 only to see the Club go under in any event.
If the right conditions can be found I will be happy to invest £1,000 into the club and I'm sure I would not be on my own.
Watch this space. |
