Quote: Joe Banjo "Whats the supporters trusts view on investing ?'"


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.

Quote: Joe Banjo "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.'"


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.

I'd like to hear this could work but I can't see this happening as most are still fixated with head hunting, the Bradford fiasco was a disgrace and would put anybody off doing the same

Quote: Fordy "Right, now is the time to stand up and be counted. The statement from Michael Carter seems frank, honest and genuine.
Selling Smith was the only option we had and so even though it's disappointing that it has had to come to that, I'd rather that than lose MY club!!


A fresh start is needed and that can only happen if WE back the Club and the new Chairman who seems to know what he is doing.
On the plus side we will start next season as everyone's prediction for relegation which is when the Wakefield Spirit shows itself and we generally go out and prove everyone wrong.


The Club and the Team will get my full backing starting tomorrow at Huddersfield. I hope that others feel the same.'"

Ahhh Fordy, frank open and honest was what I thought I was getting from Glover. I am so saddened by this. I've seen some mismanagement in my 40 years as a Trinity fan but the apparent honesty fom the Glover regime seemed like a new start, though the amateurish running of the club on match days always gave me cause fo concern. I'll be back. It's in my blood but it is sickening to be the perennial sick man of the game when we can call on pretty good support and a club like Huddersfield can't really, not even in the best of times. 8000 and a bit to lift the league leaders trophy and Mr Davy to bank roll it...yes I am envious, of course. And bitter that the loyalty I and so many others have shown is so often let down by incompetents

Quote: jesper parnevik "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!'"

Sorry...can't be d to trace the post...but the cheerleaders are getting paid a significant sum? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I GIVE UP. NOW I AM ANGRY
A FEW DAFT LASSES WAVING POM POMS WHO DONT EVEN TURN UP TILL 15 MINS IN SOME MATCHES. ARGHHHHHHH

Quote: wrencat1873 "8000 tickets at half price only equates to 4000 paying full whack (notwithstanding the price of programmes and a couple of pots on match day)
IF we had all paid £200-225 for our s/t's it would almost make up the shortfall.'"

As has been said, we don't run the club. We don't get the accounts posted to us. We don't read the bank statements. We trust the a -holes that keep turfing up at our club to run it properly and Mr I am the f ing saviour Glover and his monkey Elston were supposed to have this in hand. I won't take this riff that it's kind of our fault fo accepting cheap season tickets. It's their responsibility to get their sums ight. Also, some serious money has gone untaken in shoddy, late arriving, over priced, merchandise, running out of stock and staff on match days and it would seem, waste on drivel like young girls waving pom poms from what I've read. It is as it has always been...mis management at Wakefield. I won't be blamed for signing a deal that was offered. For a start, I can only get to about 75% home games anayway but signed up to a gold memebership BECAUSE it was cheap and made sense. So they need to make a deal that suits someone like me that lives away...or I'll pay on the gate...or is that not good enough???! To be honest I've about had enough. I'm damn angry. I will be back but only because it's in my blood, but I do not trust this guy Carter. He is part of this regime and they have ballsed up as badly as any other; worse in fact

Sorry to sound like a broken record but if the foxy bingo deal is still on, then this would be an easy way of fans helping generate funds for an extra 10 quid.

Say we have c6000 fans including walk ups, I bet less than 1000 will have signed up to the deal so far. Consequently, if the other 5000 did then that would be 250k towards the 400k target

I am willing and perhaps fortunate financially in being able to do the share thing if the ST can get the assurances required and it is an option the club will entertain, but this is one thing that every fan not already signed up could do

We will raise the issue of Foxy Bingo with them.

Having met Mr Carter he is the chalk to Mr Glovers cheese! A genuine bloke, no frills, honest and un-assuming. We are in good hands! icon_biggrin.gif

Don't know him but I hear just the same things said, a breath of fresh air.
He can't do it without us so let's get behind him now.

Your point re: Foxy Bingo is well made. I hate Bingo but signed up, spent my stake and have never been on since. So its not about whether you like Bingo at all, its about spending £10 to earn the club £50 and we need more to sign up.

We are trying to broker a share issue on the lines of 400 people acquiring £1,000 of shares and I believe MC will seriously consider this. We also have an idea that will enable those not fortunate to have £1,000 to invest to own a stake in the Club.

Michael seems a very honest and open guy and as TRB has said we are in good and I believe safe hands. He was honest enough to say the next few months are going to be particularly difficult and without investment further players will have to be sold which with 2014 being so crucial is the last thing we need.

I believe that we the supporters of this Club have a great opportunity to invest in the Club, secure its future and own a stake in it. Don't like straplines but we the supporters can save this Club and secure its long term future which with Newmarket on the horizon could be very bright indeed.

The other guy is the one, he will just not let his heart rule his head.

I think we may at last have got two people who can do this thing honestly and openly.

Quote: Sandal Cat "Your point re
As i've mentioned in another thread, we had the biggest take up of the Foxy Bingo deal of any club. The fans have done plenty already and to keep expecting the same people to spend, spend spend is unrealistic. Supporters are already spending what they can over the course of the year and for the amount of fans we have turnover is pretty good. If I could make one suggestion to the club is get the new shirts sorted and on sale asap as that is a money spinner. If we can afford it and have a manufacturer who will do it of course.

I like what Carter said but I doubt he'll be chairman for a long time, just whilst the ship steadies. We need to find a real money man to take us forward otherwise in we will be in the backwaters of the championship for us for many years to come, whether theres a supporters trust member on the board or not.

400 share blocks of £1000.00 would be a great success if sold and would fill the void, however, this would seem to be aimed at businesses rather than maybe the 50 to 100 supporters who would take this offer up.

With a "Rights Issue", making the shares number up to 1 million and increasing the control shares for Carter/Glover whoever, pro rata, would mean that smaller tranches could be purchased by supporters, i.e. £100.00 blocks.
I don't think we are in a position to exclude any financial input. This is probably last chance saloon for us and everyone's money should be welcome. If the £100.00 blocks could be purchased via the supporters trust in an allocation to them, cumulatively, this could be part of the ST involvement with the club directors.
Sorry, hope that makes sense, just trying think of ways of quick funding and avoiding player drain.

P.S. Keep the British lads, shed overseas stars next for me!

The bingo idea is fantastic, but the problem is a lot of people won't do it as your having to put your bank details online. 2 season ticket holders at work won't do it for this very reason even though I've told them time and time again that its safe.
