Seems to be thinking out loud!!

seems harsh but i hope harlequins do go. RFL pump wasted money into a club that gets no interest or attendence from anyone down there. also take into account their league position. pointless team.

that being said...... they do seem to be producing some good youngsters recently which will probably go to union without a SL club. still think its bye bye time

Sad but true, I wanted the game to grow down south, but they need more than Quins and Skolars in the league they need more teams to join the lower divisions, but how and when is a different matter...

Yep losing Trin for Quins would be a negative step for SL. We might not be pretty for now but at least we create atmosphere when we play Leeds, Hull and Cas away. A City of 8 million with at least 1 million who have re-located up North over the last 25 years taking 25 fans to away games does little to promote the game.

Completely agree on this one!

Watch this space.

Harlequins on the move to join up with a certain football team for their 'new' home.

oxford united is the word doing the rounds,again londonfulhamharlequins will be aloud to re-brand and retain their league placing at the expence of a traditional club which would almost certainly condem that club to a misserable futrue.

this says nothing - i wouldsooner support a wakey in ther lower league being successfulthat a rubbish team that i have sup[ported forthe last 10 years.

wakey do not deserve SL-we cannot attract the player that wouldtake us to silverware so we should accept the fact that we are and willalways be, also rans.

We have the players, that's what hurts this year. Maybe we just need security for once and to play somewhere more inspirational than a glorified park...

We had the security in the fact we got a franchise last time out. Community aside what have we actually done in the three years nothing.

Richardson et al think by asking school kids to rename the club ie WILDCATS ticks all the boxes for Super league and modern Rugby League. Slowly by surely they are eradicating 137 years of history. I am sick of the media, written, tv and radio dropping the name Trinity.

We either market the team club properly or forget about it and do what Hull and Halifax have and returned to their original name. There is nothing wrong with having part of the marketing scheme aimed at kids with an eye catching appealing mascot and associated products. But a cat on my clubs shirt says nothing to me about my team my city.

The fact is we as a club are a joke we do not deserve to be in SL, we have done nothing and slowly but surely we are dying. That is not to say Harlequins, Crusaders or a further French team deaerve to get in before us either.

I think you'll find that one of the reasons that lead to Steve Ferres leaving the club is because he wanted to drop the Trinity name so that we would just be Wakefield Wildcats. Ted (amongst many others) didn't like the idea. I'm not sure whether this was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back, but it was definitely one of the big differences between SF & the board.

I agree 100% . We are Wakefield Trinity & our nickname is The Dreadnoughts - end of . What's wrong with that ?! A cartoon cat has not brought thousands ( not even hundreds ) to follow the team and the club has now lost a lot of the identity from the last 100 years + and is now not the household name that it once was . Let's drop the wildcats name asap and promote the club properly at our new home .
Sorry if I'm rambling , just got down to wembley this aft & have had a half ( ish)

has any one actually thought about the cost of removing the wildcats logo from the club, its not as easy as taking them off the shirt and removing it name wise,
for a start where would the blow up cat go to retirement LA have you a home for it

if you feel so strongly about the name as I do have Trinity on the back of your shirt
