And can we go back to Trinity. No inflatable cat, no cartoon on the shirt.

If the developer is as good as his word. If I remember correctly, Ted did state quite categorically at the shareholders meeting that Yorkcourt are still 100% committed to delivering the project. Nice rallying speech at the meeting, by the way. It's always nice to put a face to a name.

Yes lets get back to been Wakefield Trinity, i've had enough of the "Wildcats" gimmick.

We could have a junior membership type thing named the "Wildcats" so that the kids don't lose Daddy Cool etc but for everything 'offical' go back to just Wakefield Trinity.

with you there somehow this whole super league thing doesnt appeal that much at the moment, im bored of its wranglings and its obvious biases, this last few days has summed up why I had lost a lot of intrest anyway, it has nothing to do with the game at all, its fitting criterias, financial survival and rural position we are playing, SUPER LEAGUE IS NOT RUGBY LEAGUE and frankly at the moment Id rather go watch Shaw Cross.
All I can hope is that the many great fans of wtrlfc make a decision that is right for them personally and we all stay what we always were;

THE SINGLE BEST AND MOST ENTERTAINING BUNCH OF MISMATCHED IDIOTS IT HAS BEEN MY INTENSE PLEASURE TO SPEND SUNDAY AFTERNOONS WITH FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS!!!!!

Hey, leave the inflatables out of this, they've kept me going the last few months. Whatever happened to those smiley 2 blow up blokes who popped up waving their arms when we scored? Their demise has played no small part in all this imo...

Thanks for the reply, Clan. Finding an additional £150 - £200k a season doesn't sound insurmountable to me.

It roughly about 2k on top of the current average attendance.

If he gets what he wants then there is no reason for it not to happen because it stacks up for him, Wakefield Council & Wakefield College irrespective of which 'team' plays there. I suspect that there is already a signed legal agreement in place saying just that as well! That is why the fight needs to continue, Belle Vue is dead and while squeezing one or two years out of it is possible, it has no future beyond that except for nice new houses. Warehouses and community sport facilities and a stadium or just warehouses... that is the choice... so which do you pick!

Re: AGM/EGM tonight : Fri Jan 07, 2011 3:49 pm  

To be honest I wasn't even considering an increase in attendance as a realistic prospect - Jesus, even when we were winning no-one came to watch us. The turn out to the last play-off match against catalans was pitiful. Perhaps there is simply no appetite for watching Super League within the Wakefield paying public. Or maybe, as some on here keep suggesting, it is all down to the poor state of belle Vue that people don't come.
