Perhaps we need to hit rock bottom before we can start to rise up again, perhaps we are a better (cheeper) proposition as a NL1 club?
Whatever the future brings two things are certain.
1) the club needs a change at the top, too many mistakes over the years have left us in this hole we're in at the moment, too many missed opportunities, a lack of real nowse. I aren't going to bang on about ted et al, my views on this are well known, but it's time for a change, maybe losing out on a franchise will be that catalyst?
2) if there are to be dark days ahead, the club needs the passionate to stay strong and perhaps help shape the future. There are enough people on here who have the clubs beast interest at heart, no matter how that materializes itself, to show that if the club was to look for solutions, it may find them.

Nice to see there'll be plenty of confidence of the terraces this year!!! Makes you wonder why the players should bother turning up at all really.

As for the TWAS comments, I certainly haven't been tempted to spend any more with the club since this statement was adopted and would be surprised if many other people have either, but it's definitely a sentiment that we should all be taking on board regardless of our feelings about those running the club.

its his fault too, weirdly all wtrlfc's problems are down to moderators on here who have used this site as a finely crafted cover to their attempts to bring down the club, TRB with newmarket, Al by supporting badly and not having anything to do with squadbuilder, and i heard in the maypole in ossett on boxing day that rebel rebel has a huge store of light bulbs he has nicked over the years, mutley cat is in fact an anagram of castigerfanbringwakeydown give or take a letter,or two.

It's been that way for years now, and the 'friends and family' atmosphere around the club allowed that to happen - too many hangers-on getting roles within the club. At times we have a professional team run like an amateur club.

to be fair looks like the team has caught up!!!

The plans were at the hands of the council trying to force Glasshoughton upon the club. The plan B came into effect to mitigate the major stumbling block NM had, time, therefore removing the councils only argument in pushing the club East.

TRB has no reason to BS anyone. He is a supporter like anyone else on here.

Go and hide behind Al,there's plenty of room! chapster

I don't understand why lots of people are having a go at TRB and AL. From what i have seen, these two put their time and effort in and love the club and if every other supporter were as committed to the cause as much as TRB and AL then the club would be far better off.

To all those people who are constantly having a go at the club, you should support your club through thick and thin. You might not agree with everything that is done but you should still offer your support. If you as so called supporters are not willing to do this then the club is far better off without you.

The thing that gets me mad about all this is that a professionally run Wakefield Trinity RLFC should and would be a top 6 SL club on and off the pitch. People talk about been a small club but we're not we are a big club thats been run like a small club for years. We has the great team of the 60s where the public of Wakefield were proud of their club facilities and team, since then the Wakefield public have been taken for granted and alienated from the club. We're the biggest City in England with no pro Football team and whatever people say there is a huge appetite for Rugby League, sport and Wakefield Trinity in this City, when going round the pubs and work places collecting sigs for the Newmarket petiton proved that to me. We'll have to see what the shareholders meeting brings but we need a proactive club that works with the public of Wakefield not against it. PS whoevers decision it was to knock the South Bank down is more to blame for our demise than anything Ted has done

The way I see it we had a terrible year last year, our hopes for this year rested on the stadium getting the go ahead resulting in successful franchise bid and ability to attract new better players and retain ones we have. We have had a major set back re the ground, this is our last a Belle Vue but God forbid is not our last ever. We need to stand together and fight for OUR club and survival. Agreed we as fans need to be better informed and there needs to be far more two way dialogue between fans and club for mutual benefit and survival. There maybe alot of unhappiness with what we have at the moment but not one of you has an alternative so i suggest backing the club in our fight to get a franchise or we may not have a club to support ...or moan about. So who is in ?
I am first on the list foloowed by ?

wow some really bad christmasses out there!

chin up guys.. tomorrow is another day... except here where it is already tomorrow.... if you get what mean...


ps beause we get 2011 here before you, I can post on here what it's like before you get it and can decide if you want to bother.

I'm with you

I'll "foloow" you, Sue....that's 3....any more...???

P.S. I saw Ted driving down Durkar Low Lane the other day, and he was smiling...anyone care to have a guess why ???

dont dare critise the club its not allowed, the club is better off without you, well get ready youll see how bad it will get next season. the fans have had enough, thick and thin fair enough but stupidty never, why should we put up with it.

No one said do not critiscise , we all can say what the club SHOULD be doing, they should have Wayne Bennett as coach , Cameron Smith as captain and Billy Slater at full back, but in REALITY we aint got the money, there is NO ONE willing to come in if Ted went that is a myth so we have to back what we have so its join it or lose it. Come on you show your passion by the number of posts, so next time I need help organisibg an event etc then I know where you are
