I remember the look on McDermotts face as the South Stand rose to their feet nod sang Old Faithful. Confused doesn't really describe it. The stewards realising we'd got in there politely asked us to leave. It as raining so we declined the offer

| Quote TrinityIHC="TrinityIHC"I'm sure if we all decided to come and sit in the home end at the KC we'd be welcomed with open arms, or even better if we'd have done it at the Boulevard
ProTip: The best view in the away end is down near the roofed bit at the end near the flats, also a good bar there too

You get a far better view at the KC as away fans than you do at BV as the home fans. Your ground is what it is but the overt hostility towards away fans who only want a half decent view of the game is hilarious

Its not really, I'm not even gonna compare it with the KC stadium that landed in your lap - but imagine if 2000 Wakey fans arrived early (as away fans do) and stood in the old threepenny stand at the Boulevard. Would have been absolute carnage.
I've no problem with fans complaining of poor view from the sides of BV but they can't expect to just take over the home end, we all used to stand down the sides when that terrace was the away end.
Anyway, its clearly not that much of an issue seeing as you've shifted so many tickets - we'll see you there!

How do you explain the comment the KC "landed in your lap"? Maybe if Wakey could drag their bum out of the shadows of better, bigger and nicer clubs around you'd have a ground sorted by now. But it's always someone elses fault to some Wakefield fans.

Our council won't even compel developers to fulfil their obligations in planning applications, yours contributed £42m to build KC. What did FC do to contribute except agree to be anchor tenants. Its probably my favourite ground in SL, but don't pretend like the FC built it with their bare hands!
I'm not blaming anyone for our lack of stadium, the council has been less than helpful however. It seems to be a problem for West Yorkshire in general. You look at the other side of the Pennines at Wire, Saints, Leigh, Salford and Wigan all in shiny, modern stadia.
This side, we have Huddersfield (built over 20 years ago) and thats it. Bradford, Leeds, Cas, Wakey all playing in ancient grounds, even KR is an old ground with 1 new 2500 capacity nice stand at the end of it.

The council "gave" nothing, Kingston Communications was built and supported by the peopl of Hull, its a private enterprise, maybe the problem with "west yorkshire in general" is flat earth thinkers that have done little to nothing to improve things? Seriously, Hull has Siemens, Reckitts, Arco, Smith & Nephew, and Wakefild has what?
Anyway, ill enjoy the two points at the weekend, and I hope you enjoy the day as well.

People questioning the connor on the bench. Me I'd bring him on as 6..let him take the reigns in attack so oposition have to re adjust and just let kelly ghost the ball all across the field. In D push a 2nd in 1 and connor whose strong in D can fill that area'"
Just dont get this love affair with Connor.For me he should just take the place of Naughton as a stand in for full back centre or wing.The only advantage he has is that he can play half back.
Crazy to even contemplate Connor on the bench at Wakefield against a team with a large forward pack.
I have previously said we are short of a super League quality prop and our bench at Wakefield looks to be light.
I think Masi will now feature on Sunday and good look to the lad.

Wakefield has a much larger, richer and all round better city right next door that tends to hoover up the big companies. Feel free to compare Hull and Leeds.
Anyway, only came on to discuss the rugby really so I'll leave you and your more couth boardmates to it.
Have a good trip on Sunday!

There wasn't 2000 in South stand that game there was 50 of us as we went in there not knowing away fans was no longer allowed. We all entered through the back of the stand as we had been in the bar below. Was pretty of obvious from the look of disbelief on whino fans as we started singing old faithful and no one around us joined in we had royally dropped a bollard.I remember us standing our ground and celebrating like we had won the league when prekky kicked that penalty.
And when hull did take 2000 regularly in the south it was one of the best atmospheres in r.l but there was always a massive police presance and often abit of naughtiness

| Bench looks weak with only 2 injures so let's hope we don't pick up a bad run of them
