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.

Quote: wildycat "]

I think it may have some thing to do with sorting out a club thats gone bust,sorting staff,sorting players wagers,getting a bid together for a super league bid, looking for new players, sorting a transfers, doing the club up, talking to new sponsors,having lots of meetings, resigning players, getting new people for, stewarding,selling food,bar staff, advertising the club/matches, getting people to buy season tickets, memberships... I could be wrong
But according to what I hear we need 5000 members or no SL. Therefore if this the easiest way of reaching that target then wouldn't it be above putting new TV screens in Cats bar?

Luck you icon_heartkiss.gif

The reason i asked was because, even the most loyal Ted follower, could not have been more impressed by the passion and commitment shown by AG and JE in particular, i know you're far too clever to trust such a pitch sleepy.gif , but it really was impressive.
Of course what matters now is them following up and delivering those words, we've all heard far too many empty ones over the years, but added to the period of fire fighting followed by the period of "cosmetic" and real improvements, we now seem in a position where we are visibly trying to push the club forward.
It all hinges on a SL licence, but our chances have gone from 0% to 50% in a few months, so that can't be bad, but we all need to buy (no pun intended) into it.

Stick it everywhere i say. just to clarify, we dont need 5000 new members, just 5000 in total, i think we need around a 1000 more before the end of the month, but its a lot better deal than the lottery, so i think its doable.
it should also be promoted in the WE, because im sure a lot of the wakefield populus would be interested, as the deal for the draw alone is a good one, let alone the add ons, it may also encourage new support.

Also bear in mind there are people who have recently cancelled the old trinity lottery as it turned out it had nothing to do with the club. Surely these people will sign up as they were paying into a scheme anyway.

Quote: kinleycat "Luck you
I'm not a Ted follower, I believe in fair play and two sides to an argument. I've no issues with AG other than it's to early to judge.

He can be as impressive as he wants, great. However I've been involved in all this since 2001 and I know what an absolute basket case this club is. It will take some sorting and as of now non of the main issues have been addressed. However his willingness to invest in at least gaining us another 3 years of SL is a big step forward. Whether it will work is open to debate.

Overestimating/selling AG doesn't help him (not saying you do). Last night was evidence of that, he marketed it as the most important meeting ever, well it may have been but it nowhere near hit the utterly unrealistic ambitions of some on here - with the term "hoodwinked" being used!

We must remain clam and objective about all things and that includes AG and Elston IMO.

PS: When I said read the script I should have said guessed it, I didn't mean to infer I had insider knowledge - apologies.
