the club is currently in the black , now im no financial whiz kid or a member of the HBoS BoD but im sure that equates to not being skint.

you are right in what you say about the low level of attendances but im sure that by the time the next round of franchises come around our attendances would of rose up again.

it seems a lot have hit onto the fact that wakey tried to get 100K for brough but nobody as concluded that just maybe lowly little Wakefield may be about to ......lets say invest the cash in other ways and being prudent decided that they would try to raise the cash by offloading brough to the first suckers who would pay 100k. obviously they seem to have contacted Huddersfield first when this fell through Wakefield decide to raise 100k for player strengthening using us the fans .

sometimes information is a bad thing , im almost wetting myself . BTW have you listened to the pod cast for the wakey match . looks like Barrie mac is also an informed guy

The club will make plans for spend. I'm pretty confident that they will have predicted to match last seasons figures so they will be down on their projected income. That is my point.

Not quite that simple is it? Ask Wigan fans!

It's certainly a more stable way of doing it - look at Leeds Utds plan:


Spend = Success = More Fans = Pays for Initial spend.

its the private dealings that can screw a club , not saying for one minute your club is in any kind of trouble BTW if that was the case Mr Davey would be out like the king rat on the titanic.

Then why not say who got the naming rights? Why not announce ST sales?

Agreed with the Bulls / Wire away following. Maybe having the fans in force and not the points would have been better.

why do they have too , far to many folk criticize the Wakefield club for the leaks . I am amazed that so much is being kept under wraps at the Mo.

they do not have to.

they can choose to be pathetic and announce initiatives and then go quiet when they flop or not bother announcing actual ST sales.

So we have 2 secret financial indicators that point to poor performance plus the gates that appear way down - despite success on the field - and then out of the blue a sale of shares.

18 months on shareholders are eventualy tod the ground has been sold and that 0.5M of 1.7M remains.

Clearly to some this indicates a club on the up! To others it smacks of desperation.
