It is clear Chester feels no responsibility for our current form, it would appear to be the fault of others. I see he is already making excuses for next season or the club is preparing us for a salary reduction clear out. I know some of you think everything will come good but wouldn’t you expect the club to at least apologise for the poor performances or make some sort of statement. They are quick enough to criticise us if they do not believe we are paying enough into the club I.e. if you ask for your money back this season the club could fold.
We do our bit we buy the season tickets, the shirts etc. but still we face another season of uncertainty apparently, what do we do with the sponsorship and the Sky money.
Yes I can walk away and I may do so but then again how many others may do the same.


I hardly think that is a criticism of the fans. Its a fact.

It's tough watching Wakefield. No one should choose to support us to see silverware and continuous success. It just isn't going to happen.
But knowing that I follow them anyway because they are my team.
I enjoy the ups and support as best I can through the downs.

Would you like to clarify that statement please, it should be interesting.

PT is correct, if you were choosing a club to support based on a wining ratio and competition success then Wakefield probably would not be your choice. I believe for most people supporting any club, any sport, any person is an emotive choice combining many factors, born local, family history/connections, your mate plays for them, you like the team colours, the club history but just for success that's really football thing in my view, latching on to regular success and not the club or sport.

Quite simple really.
Money.
MC and his team have worked wonders and, no doubt, at huge cost to them, but clubs such as Saints, Leeds, Warrington, Wigan, Hull and even Cas' get gates we can only dream of.
Until the Wakefield public come out in bigger numbers, which let's face it isn't going to happen until we are more successful, or we get a sugar daddy prepared to pump millions in, then we will continue as we have since we entered SL.

As a neutral I just watched that interview and I think CC looks like a broken man, I thought he looked close to tears at one point. Feel for the guy, he was a great player and always gave 100% so it must break his heart to see people not giving 100%.

Also, from reading the comments what has happened with Fifita ?

Re: Chester must go now : Mon Sep 21, 2020 7:45 am  
For me supporting wakey is the done thing I’m a wakey lad and have followed them for nearly 50 years, but trying to get the next generation to love seeing your team churn out this tripe week after week is another story altogether ,let’s not forget these are the future of our club .Im finding it harder to keep my two grandsons interested in wakey although they both play the game on a weekend , I can’t keep them interested in the games where we have been on sky. Its not about the defeats it’s the manner of those defeats which I find most unsettling, the same lacklustre performances week in week out .But true to wakey’ s erratic performances of late I wouldn’t be surprised if Wigan rested some players and we come away with a win on fri ,here’s hoping anyway .my point of this rant is that the die hards will always turn up , its the floating and new fans that we urgently need as the life blood of the club .Finally I don’t have allegiance to players or coaches at our club as I’ve seen plenty come and go over the years ,I remember when Cunningham who had folklore status at saints had a bad run , the club had no qualms about getting shut, it’s never nice but the club has to be bigger than both the players or the coaches and no one should be untouchable.

Re: Chester must go now : Mon Sep 21, 2020 7:46 am  
I think most Wakefield folk are quite happy to be honest supporting the club,when they can see there is effort on the pitch.

It's usually only when that effort looks to be lacking, that they question their faith, and ask themselves why they go to watch them.

Unfortunately, just recently, that lack of effort by the players is showing.

It's ok for certain people to say just write this years seasons ticket off so to speak and class it as a donation. At the moment, these players still have a job, the club is in business, but sadly, that can't be said for everyone. I wonder how many fans have been laid off. Sometimes, you have to cut your cloth accordingly, and think can I afford to, right now cough up money for something really enjoyable. Certain people need to be more realistic and look at the real world.

How much marketing do you see the club do across the city. It didnt used to be much, and I dont think, other than social media, they do. There are people who dont use this, and wont see it.

Agree you can not put lack of effort by the players down to a season with no relegation.This is the team We have got for next season maybe without one of two off our better players going next year. This coaching department these players are playing for will not get any better and also the players..The damage as been done by panic buying in close season and this .Most of this team would \ will struggle in the championship
