I admire the honesty of the opening post. I also have a feeling that you're not alone in those thoughts.

I must admit having had a similar feeling for a while myself, the only thing that keeps me going is the fact that I have followed the club so closely for so long and I am the type of person that once I commit to something I stay loyal to it.

It is worrying though that large numbers of fans will be fed up and will stop going. If diehard fans are starting to feel like this then casual supporters certainly will be.

I'm not sure what the answer is though? It's an entertainment business at the end of the day and one thing you can say for sure at the moment is that a Sunday afternoon at Belle Vue is anything but entertaining. It's totally lifeless with no atmosphere at all...the pre-match and half time entertainment is again not entertaining at all and the product on the pitch has been very poor of late too..

Even when results are good and we're playing well that is not pulling in the punters. IMO the club need to do more to encourage people to go to games and make it feel worth the £20 entrance fee whether we win or not or play well or not.

It goes without saying and is obvious to everyone that we need the new ground to lift everyone's spirits. I think the long slow process is grinding people down and we just all want that sorted out. If that doesn't come about we're doomed!

Quote: Micka "It's not very often I post on the forum, However I've had enough of the continual trauma that is Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.
We never advance, it's the same almost every year a roller coaster ride of mainly lows, player unrest, a shop where the manager would have been sacked years ago if his Dad had not been in charge.
As a share holder, I have not been notified of meetings.
Yet again we have nose dived from a promising start to the season.
We are expected to support our club blindly, never given an explanation of the deals that are done, it's always " an undisclosed ammount "
It seems that our club is restrained from ever taking the next step up, and always seem to take the cheap option, that situation rests with TED !!!, who I feel is not really bothered about success.
The last two home games I witnessed were diabolical, a win against a pathetic Salford side, and a no show against a poor Crusaders side, in both those we lacked any real attacking ideas, a good side would have beaten both of us those days.
So I've come to the agonising decision to stop spending my hard earned money going to the games until, instead of me being told to be patient, and wait for something to happen, I will wait until I see some positive moves by the club to rectify the position.
I'm cheesed off with things too but in mentioning Wigan you have hit the nail on the head. Compare the average attendance of both clubs and the thing that makes a difference is they have lots of money due to a fan base of around 15000 and ours of around 5000.

Mmmmmm? 2007 - 8th out of 12. 2008 - 8th out of 12 + CCSF. 2009 - 5th out of 14, so 1 season of progression in fact. This season I think we'll be lucky to even finish in top 8.
Fraid I agree with the original poster on this 1. icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED:

Fraid I agree with the original poster on this 1. You don't think 8th, 8th (and a CC Semi-final), 5th is progress on the majority of the previous 8 years?

As much as I detest the goings on at Wigan over the years, with blatant infringements of the rules etc, one thing you can say about Wigan is that the board did whatever it took to bring success to the club.
I will always consider Wakefield close to my heart, after 52 years enough is enough.

so you have followed wakey for half a century and Saturday was you lowest point of all eusa_think.gif

Wakey are an example of a club punching above there weight and playing some decent rugby. Yes you are in a slight blip at the moment.

Get to the Stoop. Before Sat we had won 2 in 25!! Sat at the bottom of the league

Quote: Micka "I too have followed Trinity for many years, (52) and I too would watch Trin whatever division they were in.
Were the unthinkable happen and the club fold I would watch some other team that I had some sort of affiliation with, in my case Eastmoor, having spent my early years there.
Never would I join the ranks of what I call "Glory Supporters" and switch to the likes of L***s.
Having said that I do believe that We and Cas will share a ground at New market.'"


Some change of heart.

frustrating times for the fans, but also for John and the staff, I have had mixed feelings, yes paying £20 is a lot of money for a poor performance, maybe £15 is a better entrance fee, would we get more coming in ?, possibly. We do need a few more quality players but we do not have the money, the gates play a big part in how much we can spend so how do we get more in ?, maybe someone from x factor every home match may help !!, I just feel that we have to ride the storm and hope the results will come, but, as a realist, I believe we only look like 8th or 9th place material. Lets hope the players dig deep in the next few weeks and bounce back, the fans, John and the staff deserve it.

The gate price of £20 seems to be the biggest problem when I try and get new people to come to the games. I never think about it because I've had a season ticket for the last 6 or 7 years but £20 is a lot. Add a couple of kids to the mix and you're looking at a lot of money for a family of 4. £60 is it?!
