| Quote: Eastern Wildcat "I do agree here to a point Vasty. In this day and age we shouldn’t need cash turnstiles, and I think by bringing in the ticket booth in Doncaster Road has reduced this somewhat. However, there are still some people who prefer the older methods, and we shouldn’t discriminate against them, as we need as many fans as we can get. Having said that, any cash taken and held on the premises could be a security risk, as could walking across town, taking it to the bank. That is why I suggested that they use the security companies to uplift and pay it in. That’s what happened when I was at Leeds.
I think the scanners in stadiums are really good, and I know that’s what Mrs EW and her Dad use with their Hull KR season ticket. The problem is, with our turnstiles being so old and out date, it would probably be at a significant cost to the club, which if the stadium gets revamped, doing it now could be counter productive and a waste of money'"
What happens at Leeds is insignificant at Wakefield, If as you suggested they use a security company to uplift and pay it in, presumably this would be a free gratis service and not one at a significant cost.

| We have heard a lot about Fifita about how he no longer plays to his best. I suppose being hypothetical he told MC that he could not play under the coaching of Chester. I noted the the second meeting Chester was excluded and it was MC the player and his agent. He may have promised that things are changing on the coaching front and he is aware of the current failings at the coaching level. This is why Poaching was announced early and brought in from the 01/11/2020.
I know it is purely hypothetical and the chance MC would believe that Chester is failings is most unlikely but you can dream that he has seen the light.

| Why bring up a hypothetical post just to stir things up if you have no facts why make such a statement. Regards Willie wasn't he Chester's assistant at HKR .I doubt very much he's been brought in to replace Chester but to give him a helping hand which he doesn't seem to get at present. We will have to wait and see what happens with any clear out or signings and in the meantime stop the whingeing about Carter and Chester.

| If he starts to at least make it look like a coached team with some sort of game plan then maybe people will stop complaining but do you honestly expect this. I suppose if he even took some sort of responsibility because how can 17 players each week play so bad when the constant is Chester.

Was this about the time they were also announcing "gates" of 7 or 8.000 over the Tannoy at nearly every home match, BLM??

| Quote: Eastern Wildcat "Sorry Adam, I feel leaving it into next year it could stagnate further and only make matters worse.
We know Chester’s recent recruitment has left a lot to be desired, we could end up signing several players, then change coach, only for an incoming coach, not to like what he has to work with, and even if we did bring good players in, their skill and fitness levels may end up getting coached out of them.
We need to change things, and fast. Hasn’t he already offered his resignation on more than one occasion.
If I was MC right now, I’d be mulling over possible replacements than practicing his golf swing.'"
I feel the same fella. I was just saying I can see that that's what would probably happen. I wasn't saying I agreed with it.

Overseeing the fitness of the team, preparing the team for a game, winning games, coaching a competitive team, attacking structure, a game plan, defensive structure, defending our own line, motivating the team, new ideas, recruitment, or maybe none of them, maybe knifing the players in the back and accusing them of moving out of the way or not trying or attitude problems. 5 out of 33 which part of the job is he doing right'" 3rd time POP TART your defence of chester and the clubs stance are absurd.

Hmm, not sure you are the one to throw that word around.
He is clearly losing games. I'm not pretending otherwise. I am however seeing mitigating circumstances such as injuries to key players, lack of experience at half back, covid, players rebelling against pay cuts, players not wanting to follow Covid guidelines, playing away every game etc etc.
I've seen the team doing well under Chester and am not inclined to just ditch everything because of issues outside his control.
You just look at the short term and things that affect you personally. I don't defend anyone, I'm just giving my opinion that results right now are not the only thing to look at when making the decisions you are suggesting.
