You sound like you know him better than I do but I can't imagine Al would want a public campaign about this.
It would be great if it were resolved, and MC could help I'm sure but I'm thinking this is better for a provate conversation.'"
I attempted to contact MC in private, and on social media including the club's Facebook. However it has fallen on death ears/been completely ignored in some cases. I'm running out of places to get my point across. The club should have apologised at the time and by not doing that they have forced me to express my opinion in this way. I would do anything to be able to go back to watching wakey every week with my Mum Dad Brother Auntie and Uncle but it would feel like siding with the club over my own Family. What would any of you guys do if it was you?

| Maybe the stewarding issue is cheaper than getting whacked with a massive fine for crowd trouble from the RFL?

And no, im not picking sides.'"
Yes actually if it's required (not sure if it is on this one because I don't know the full story).
Far more important people i more important fields than MC have had to say sorry to the public and individuals in the past, what makes him so special?

One your argument is foolish, two they have fallen out with those currently running the club not the club itself, three this is a free forum - MC is airing his opinions so why not anyone else

Not that easy to walk away though. Not when it's something we have done as a family for 20 years. So I'm continuing to bang the drum about this until I feel there's no chance of anything been done.

In response to your other points and the overall gist of this thread, feel free to find someone else to run things as you want? I said from day one I would happily step aside for anyone who wanted to take on the great privilege of running the club. It's nearly a year since I stepped up. There's not exactly been a queue forming round the block? And please don't take this as throwing my dummy out. That is certainly not the case. I will have a dignified discussion with anyone. Despite being the recipient of a 'social media bombardment' from a certain person.'"
Deary me. That is the sort of aggressive response I'd post, difference is I'm a relative nobody and you're a CEO of a struggling club who's only friends are it's fans.
If you just read that reply back to yourself as a customer does it sound great?
I know we are an awkward bunch and it must be hard to deal with some of us, myself included - we can be real wallies at times. I can't tell you how to conduct yourself, hell it's a free country but for what it's worth I think you need to be a touch more gentle with your responses - we are a sensitive lot or try using emoticons as maybe we are missing something.
I have to say though I'm surprised you've managed to annoy BigAl and Slugger - easily two of the more chilled forum members - not sure how you managed that.
Please take this as good humoured and well meaning.

| From my point of view its not like the rules were there for one person. They were there for all. Rules have been implanted to improve us, albeit I am nor a fan but it has been done. Deal with it. I don't know Al but he sounds like a nice guy and sounds like he has been through hell and back following the club and hope he returns soon.

That is entirely your prerogative. I wouldn't try to coerce you into anything.

With respect, I have called on many doorsteps in person over the last year apologising to different people on behalf of the club. I have never had a problem with doing so either.

There is no element of my post that is intended as aggressive. And I don't have an aggressive bone in my body as anyone who truly knows me could tell you.

I'll be renewing my ST not because I think Al is in the wrong or because I think MC is right but because not only are you helping the club out with planning their finances' for the coming season it also rewards you with a discount for every home game, its just a shame things have come to a head over this stewarding business.'"
second that,
I can understand the frustrations with the banner too both ways,
lets put it more simpler do we want a super league club in Wakefield that is competitive or not
