With a very heavy heart Bazzo, I agree. I have had enough. We attract incompetents to run our club like shush attracts flies. I dare say I shall waste the odd Sunday and a few quid through the turnstile, I shall keep my 1873 going but I cannot justify the time and outlay of a season ticket on a club that repeatedly lets it's supporters down. Oh, it's all my fault for not supporting I suppose some will say. I disagree. I've put a lot of money through the coffers in the last few years and for what? To see a club being run by a bunch of amateurs, worse than amateurs, amateurs don't take the salaries some of these clowns have. We have, again, spent way beyond our means. We have failed to run a club in a professional manner behind the scenes and in the shop window. They have taken our money and p'd it up the wall frankly. Until I see a collection of people who produce a club that looks like a professional outfit that knows where it is going I shall be an occasional visitor, watcher from afar. I cannot tolerate the fiasco that is Wakefield Trinity anymore.

Well then we'll always be a selling club struggling to make ends meet and will naturally find our level. This may be the start of that process.

Best post on here in a long time.

Yes mate he WAS at Wests a couple of years ago but didn't play much I don't think - it was the year when Heighington played for England.

Seemed to disappear off the radar - he didn't play for wests last year I'm sure (I have Premier )

last year we had all on to compete this year with the exodus of the so called stars,can anyone see us winning a game,supporters wont want to pay super league prices to see championship rugby, that's if they can even produce that,i can understand mr carter wanting to balance the books but selling the players off wont bring in revenue next season

I appreciate that you're probably all feeling very low, but if no-one else leaves you still have a very good core of players and have more than a fighting chance of not being in the last two spots next year.

I haven't bought one, but that's because I work weekends so it would be a waste of my cash. I buy shirts etc. during the year, if I have to justify myself, and pay on the gate when I can attend.

The players are now back at the club

That's not a nice thing to say, oh yes I've re-read it now

Think rovers have signed a very good prop who's disciplinary behaviour should be able to be curbed by Sandercock.couple of questions I have looking outside from in with regards to the fire sale of players.

1) Why would the Wakefield club or any other that is trying to reduce the wage bill vote for a two up two down relegation ? Real risk if being relegated here which admittedly would allow the club to rebuild again in the lower division.

2) By offering expensive contracts in the first place then reducing the cost of season passes for two seasons has this contributed to the current situation?

1. I'd guess (and I have no inside knowledge) that we're towing the SL/RL party line, they lent us money to pay the tax man off.
2. Sadly yes.

1. Beats me... hegemony?
2. Not as simple as that... Higher prices - less customers - less sales..
