Personally I think that the perception of the club has to change to one capable of doing something, rather than one going from one crisis to another; in order for the wider public of Wakefield to buy in.
Despite this being the only pro sports club in the city, to many it's seen as an embarrassment.
This won't happen overnight but a steady period of sustainable improvement followed by the delivery of NM or a redeveloped BV is all that is required.
Look at the season we've had, and we are only two points off the play offs ffs!!

Called at the local W.M.C for the now celebration drink and the amount of people that asked me....How did.......WE........get on today?and when told of the result I got a.....Get in there,WE are doing OK now.I mentioned the home game next week,bulled it up a bit mentioned the possibility of a top 8 finish,but,frustrating as it is,I feel they will read about it on Sky,Wakey Express like so many

Cas have been as much of a basket case as us over the last 10 years.
This year they have a good chance of winning the challenge cup and an outside chance of a GF appearance.
Things can change quickly.

Grand Final is a long way off but I don't see why we can't target Challenge Cup if we get our act together.
We can clearly do it in short stints. Just need to win the right games.

If timing had been different for the CC rounds we could have had a run like this
Leeds (H) Win 16-14
Hull (A) Win 16-23
Widnes (A) Win 18-24
Semi Final Wigan Win 36-28
Final Warrington Win 40-26

As long as we didn't get Bradford in any round we'd be fine.

Our neighbours from over the hill are likely to be contesting the Challenge Cup Final in a few weeks time, so there is certainly hope for us (not this season though )

If we could get to the CC final it would be massive for the club. Sure there would be a lot of bandwaggon jumpers but the club needs a lot of bandwaggon jumpers!

Remember he has one of our own there as his assistant who will have put in a good word for us . he will know all about our struggles and what the club means to the folk of Wakey...thanks Tony & WP

so you just peer over the fence and wait for the moment to happen and then say boy that was a good win,
just for once why can't the Wakefield public believe in the team

If you think one good month of results is going to right all the previous wrongs of the last god knows how many years of failings, false dawns and let downs then i'm afraid you're deluding yourself. The public of Wakefield aren't just going to suddenly part with over 200 quid to go stand in a dump of a stadium next season. Even after more years than can be remembered some loyal long standing, season ticketing holding, shirt buying etc fans have had enough and have pretty much lost interest. I know because i'm one of them and i know i'm not the only one.

You are absolutely right about the many, many years of failings and most of the cr@p has been down to poor financial management.
However, unless we can suddenly manage to persuade 10,000 fans to turn up each week, a club the size of Wakefield will always be a selling club.
The stadium issue has been a total farce since the failed Thornes Park thing and IF there was a tangible move forward on this, people may start to believe that we are moving forward and not just trying to avoid the next crisis.

What would it take to make you but a S/T for next season ?

I'm returning to the season ticket fold next year. I've seen enough from Mr Carter, Mrs Hetherington & James Webster to shell out for next year. However as mentioned previously it would really give the club a lift if it receives some positive news re the redevelopment of Belle Vue in the coming months. It would also help if the team could start next season in the sort of form it finishes this one. The last time we had a successful end to the season all the momentum was lost due to an indifferent start to the next one!

A miracle.

We must be the only club that digs deep to find negatives out of positives I'm sure I'm not on my own ,but I find it quite boring with people saying I'm not coming again,not being a ST and the best one of all,I've been coming since god was a lad.....if you are wanting an arm round the shoulder to get you to come,sorry but I'm definatley not one.
