SUPPORT SWAG...:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10363.jpg



Quote: Daddycool "You sir, are the only person who has even remotely taken my tweet 'as a dig at the fans' Every reply I have had to it has seen it as a realistic and great challenge.

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. eusa_whistle.gif

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. eusa_think.gif

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.

Quote: WF2 "MC is chairman of the club, do any of you honestly think he is going to give a personal apology to any fan, not just Al

By doing so he would just open the floodgates for any fan with the slightest grievance to bombared him with emails and tweets asking for an apology.

Its just not going to happen

And no, im not picking sides.'"


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.

Quote: chissitt "Well said that man, sums it up perfectly for me. 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

Having been a box holder the previous 2 years, I've only been to one game this season. This was due to a general disillusionment regarding the previous management of the club and the horrendous start made to the season. Now the club has been stabilised and things are coming together on the pitch, I will almost certainly attend the remaining home games this season and buy a season ticket for next season. I realise this makes me look fickle, however I think it's fairly typical in times like this when time and money is limited. My confidence in the club is building up again and I'm sure if the product on the pitch continues to improve many other floating supporters will return.

Excellent news.
Let's hope there are plenty more like you.

Although there are plenty of moans on the forum, MC & his team have not only kept the club alive (no mean feat in itself), we also have a competitive team on the park and some decent signings already confirmed for next season.
There is plenty to look forward to with just a few "creases" to iron out to keep the masses happy.

I don't know MC personally but I totally respect the guy for what he has done for our club - the short term aim achieved in much less time than anyone could have hoped for. I hope he stays long enough to even better days that we can all enjoy.

I say to the missing fans forget your differences and support the RW and B, that's what it's about not bearing grudges and the pride thing. You might just enjoy returning.

I really didn't want to get involved, but when I remonstrated regarding being kicked out of the corner where we've stood for thirty years I was told to move and grow up, all of a sudden We have a respected poster being thrown out for bringing his own drinks in and all hell breaks out, overkill anyone?
