I think any issue now is in the public domain whether it be a private one or not. The internet generally means that if more than one person knows something then everybody/anybody can also know it.

When I read the headline, I thought storm in a tea cup, but it would have done no harm to have a prepared statement in the eventuality it became public.

Agree with that and I do trust the club they've been a breath of fresh air but I was gutted to see our Clubs name being dragged through the mud again and the ammo it gives skid marks from other clubs is a sickner.

Although it has been sorted out, it annoys me that we'll be still grouped with other struggling clubs, when really that shouldn't be the case at all. Not after all the extra season tickets and extra fans through the gates this past year, as well as new sponsors and stuff sold in the grounds, add to that contract extensions and the signing of Poore, we are obviously in a decent place financially.

I really do think the club missed a trick by not been more proactive with this and warning the fans about what was going to happen, obviously if they genuinely didn't know it was going to go this far and become public domain, fair enough but still.

I happened to go for a drink this afternoon with a few mates and bumped into a few faces from the ground, where we got talking about what's happened and the almost glee and satisfaction that a couple of them had was sickening, they appeared to be glad that the new regime had eventually slipped up, honestly I can't get my head around people like that, serious idiots to say the least.

Yes, I'm informed that it was paid as soon as the club were made aware of the situation.

aware of the situation .. monthly visit from hmrc..notification of late payment ...regional office contacting to say its overdue...phone calls from worthing...letter from hmrc giving 21 days notice before it goes into london gazett....

Paid as soon as they were aware of the situation pffffft.

As a Cas Fan with Wakefield my second club to support I sometimes worry what goes on behind the scenes. We ask for 100% from the players and this season (cas) have not had it (wakefield) satisfactory end to the season. Can we ask for 100% in the office! certainly something or someone has slipped up at wakefield. Kick ass Andrew Glover as performances off field like this don't do the club justice. I agree with other posters that a proper explanation would do some good.

If it's just a cock-up, which I'm quite prepared to believe, I hope that whomever was responsible for it is being dealt with robustly; it may have been an oversight, but it's one that is reputationally very damaging. AG's not on holiday again is he?

Supporting Trin is not for the faint harted that's for sure, the AG gang have one/two more go/es until I start panicking.
There is so much room for improvement though it's untrue should be a doddle to get better than we were/are.
I'm not sure about Elston merchandising makes me nervous, it was cack prior to the AG regime and it's cack now. This should be a major money spinner but opening as many shops as Asda without any decent stock isn't a crackin idea.
We should be the only Ticket in the city (and by default are) but don't show it.

The brand has been damaged from this and its a shame but it can be recovered with some positive strong marketing over the next couple of months.

A signing or two, some good news on the season ticket front and some positive news on Newmarket will see this all forgotten. But it should never have happened.

All of which hopefully should happen very soon

My worry is they never learn. No doubt we'll get the full story in the Express on Friday because they still go running to them with stories. We live in a 24/7 media world, not waiting for a Friday to find stuff out.

Are the best possible people (in terms of ability, experience and fitting in the budget) in the right jobs? I do not know.

Question every decision they make and if they don't like it, tough. Wakefield Trinity has been around since 1873, and will be long after 'Spirit of 1873' ceases to exist.

FFS people this problem hasn't even made the VT,the bill has been payed hasn't it ?
From the outside lookin in thers no damage been done at all,enjoy the ride your on.

This

It has - in a new low even for him, bigalf derailed a thread about the Dolls raising money for a cancer charity, to make a snidey comment about this non-news.

Class.

Looks like it was him who first posted it on the cas forum and looking at his previous posts he must love our City, club and new community stadium. It's probably a case of cas being in such a mess they are desperate for us to fail and can't bare to see us doing well on and off the pitch hoping the hmrc thing is the tip of the iceberg of financial melt down for us, while we are hoping its just a blip and it doesn't happen again we'll just have to see what happens. The Trinity rollercoaster never stops
