Get behind us. Armchair fans zzzz BORING : Sat Mar 02, 2019 1:14 am  

This is an amazing time to be a Wakefield fan its Wimbledon esc. Carter and co done a unbelievable job of putting a team of players together nobody else wanted its a special bond between players and fans at the moment its great. Tonight at Headingly you had to be there it was magic one of the best away wins under the circumstances we were cannon fodder the poor city going to the City slickers to get hammered in the unveiling of the new Headingly Stadia....

Basically to all Wakey fans that are too lazy to go and watch it on LIVE, shame on you get your bums down to Belle Vue and away, we should have been 500 fans better off tonight it was loud and a magic moment but we should be packing it out we do have the ohhh its on tv attitude we are the only Sporting team in the City FFS get behind us before its too late.

Mate, I am with you! It is happening. Look at the attendance v Catalans. 4600. I saw 5 people from Catalans. 4600 in the dilapidated hole we live in. What would that have been not long ago? A lot less. Don't get on some folks case for missing games here and there. Life is not that simple.

On a serious note, it would be great if just a few more would leave the comfort of the pub / front room and get down to BV and support the boys, they certainly deserve it.
If there are 17 blokes busting a gut to try and get the win for Trinity, folk should be supporting them and not just pretending that they are Wakefield fans from their bar stool.

The more support we can give them, the easier the job becomes, we really can be the "extra man"

as usual you've gone over the top putting a team out that nobody wants, you probably find that over half the squad if put on the market would be snapped up straight away saying that you are spot on with the support of the team we should be getting more to games when its so local,
whether this had anything to do with the price hype, timing of the game or being televised we won't know, I personally would of loved to be there but afraid I fail on lots of reasons which makes it impossible to be there whether its home or away now which makes it disappointing for me as I've endured games in past that have had it shoved down my throat, especially from one leeds fan

It didn’t help the whinos who turned up last night but I agree we need more, keep winning and throw a ground in with it you never know

I don't see your point exactly. Who cares how many we take to away games, other than a bit of shouting to help the team along we gain nothing. Fans who don't travel are not lazy its purely down to choice and circumstances so give that tired old myth a rest pleeease.

Home games are a different matter all together. However tonight will most certainly have helped - if we follow this up with a home win then we should see an upturn this season. Truth is to get folk to BV we need to be consistent at home especially in the big draw games like Leeds and Cas, if we do that then bingo.

That said as is well documented the ground limits what we can do. I have a newly aquired relative from down south who is chomping at the bit to attend a game but sadly I have to keep putting him off. Much as I try to explain what a dump BV is I really don't think he realises. I think he thinks it an older style football ground like Burnley or QPR that kind of thing, IF ONLY!!!!

I don't want it to be a one off so I will really have to be carefull which game I choose - it needs to be a big crowd - a winnable game - and preferably at night! This dillema shows how tricky building support is no matter how well we play.

Vasty, spot on.

I reckon with half decent modern facilities to provide a modern match day experience we would automatically get 2000 on the gate no problem.


We also hear all this talk of the club buying the ground back but then the problem still remains in that the place is totally unfit for purpose.

Makes you wonder if we will ever get a facility that this club and City deserve
