If the lads aren’t up for showing this lot up after reading guff like this then there’s summat up.

They really think they’re going to dominate. Same goes for Fev, Toulouse, Batley, Halifax, Sheffield, York etc. they should be taking this for the disrespect it is. In fact can you imagine what it’ll be like at Post Office road. They’ll swan in there and their s will drop.

It's brand new terracing you idiot. It also has a roof, I don't believe you have covered terracing at Bradford so it will be an absolute thrill for you.

I'm fully aware there are better stadiums than ours in the Championship, though I know for certain that Odslum is not one of them. I also know that we own our ground, and those clubs don't, and that's worth it's weight in gold as far as IMG are concerned.

You have clearly not been to BV in the last 12 months or you wouldn't talk such tosh, you are the definition of an ignoramus.

The jealousy emanating from your every word is almost life affirming.

Feel free to leave your parents bedroom and come across to BV and see for yourself, I'll pay your bus fair.

Nobody's jealous of Belle vue you loony. There are plenty of grounds in the championship that I'm jealous of but that deathtrap isn't one of them. Your new terracing was put in because it the stand was condemned as it was crumbling and followed a fan being hit by a piece of terrace thrown from further back. So you've got some seats that aren't made of wood now.It must now rival wembley stadium.

Pressures on vasty - you're grading for viewership will take a hit this season and if you don't win it your points for on pitch performance will be none existent. You need that 6000 average or you're not going straight back up. A few defeats and it'll be squeaky bum time.

MBBB your fishing out of season again, I didn't realise you had got your licence back after the last time!!

Low hanging fruit Vasty always bites.

Besides I’ve waited years to give oppo fans the “they still think they’re in superleague” line we’ve had to put up with. We haven’t been in superleague for 9 years and we still get it.

Bit different here though. Wakefield will almost certainly be back in SL next season regardless of how they do in 2024. They're also cashed up and will probably give us a battering next season so I don't think you'll be having the last laugh here.

Give over, been on these forums too long for that. You weren't fishing, you were being a burke, and you got caught out, and now your trying to get out of it.

I never said you were jealous of BV, I said you had no idea how much it has improved in the last year, and clearly you don't. As I say, get off your backside and come take a look in March, then comment. As I say, I'll send you a bus ticket.

You're incredibly jealous about the rest of the club and that is obvious, else you wouldn't be so petulant. You've been playing the 'we used to be in SL, and we have a SL following' card for years now. You don't like the fact that another better off ex-SL club is now on the block - one that beats you hands down in nearly every aspect of being an ambitious club.

It's not Trinity or their fans who are hyping us up, it's the media and the pundits, take your anger issues up with them.

I know you've been out os SL for 9 years, we put you there

It's not biting, it's called being factual. Now for a knowing

to give the impression that your mate was just having a laugh, he wasn't, another knowing

You're definitely biting, this a Fans forum, facts tend to be less relevant as you should know after all this time!

That’s why you’ve got to get in now. Anyway they do think they’re something special. One of their fans even commented on the club’s Facebook page to suggest that the game has been moved to Friday night by Sky!! There was another one talking about how they were looking forward to Blackpool when they were relegated. Clueless ha ha ha

Bite bite bite bite bite you can’t stop replying. That’s what comes with a massive ego thinking you’re gods gift to the championship. Stick to the facts you’re a championship club. Not good enough for superleague.

I’m sure Wakefield will have a much better season in 2024, although the bar is low as frankly they were an embarrassment to SL in 2023. Should comfortably be in the top 4 of the Championship and they should add some new interest into the Championship.

Almost certainly they will be back in SL as one of the 12 clubs based on recent IMG grading, which probably says more about the current state of the sport more than anything.

It’s been a while since Wakey were kicking around on our forum, generally to exhort us to “cut our cloth”.
Looking in the mirror, I do see some similarities with how we behaved in our first year in the championship. The main differences are the img ratings backup Wakey have for this season which allows them to come out with statements like “we want to get promoted the correct way, on the field etc” knowing full well that they’ll get promoted regardless.
Last season there were two full time teams, Toulouse and Fev. They finished top two, which is where Wakey should be aiming as they have continually reminded the rest of the comp that they are full time.

I’m not sure how random the fixtures actually are, but if putting on a show at the start of the championship would help with getting a broadcast deal, then the two clubs which could help Wakey get a sell out (for slightly different reasons) are Bradford and Fev. Fev vs Wakey again could be a very good gate so it’s no surprise where that is in the fixture calendar

You couldn't put together a tougher start to the season if you were doing it on purpose. The cup half-full way to look at it is that we have the sundecks nonsense to try and get rid of the cobwebs. Plus, by the time we are up to speed, some of the hardest games will be out of the way and we can aspire to a really strong finish.

Looking forward to seeing the Fev vs Wakey derby this year. Should be a cracker.

We’ll be up there or there abouts. As will Toulouse. Genuinely more exciting than the SL season.

Wakey vs Bradford is the fixture to kickstart it and it should be a brilliant game. We’ll certainly take a lot. With it being first game of the year, under the lights, big team away. Hopefully it’s a sellout and both teams put on a show. With a Bulls win.

Naaah thump field at hell Vue and give the super dooper league big time Charlies the welcome they deserve then over to greater Manchester for the gimme against the Halifax (is that how you spell it?).

I won’t be going to Wakefield their ground is unsafe.

That’s fine, you do you. I’ll be there providing I’m not working away.

They’ve announced they’ve passed 5000 season tickets which is some effort. They’re well on the way to gaining an average gate of 6000 per game.

They’re going straight back up aren’t they?

If we do I hope its because we've won the right to...on the pitch, not by IMG point scoring. I'm not in favour of sporting endeavour being negated by elitist bureaucratic dodges...I'd rather leave that to the 15 man game.

Fair play if they have. The fans at least will be like we were in 2015. Relegation behind us, look forward, excitement for something new. That year I thought we had a great season. Just a shame we couldn't do it at the end. Places some of their fans have never been before etc.

Just a shame what happened two years later. If they don’tbgo straight up. I can see them doing a Bradford and staying for a few years. Fev over the past 2/3 years have proven how hard it is to get out of this league.

Either way. As a neutral I’d sooner see Wakey vs Fev and Wakey vs Bradford than say London vs Fev or Keighley vs Bradford.

Your alleged massive away support won’t be needed, it’s sold out to Trinity fans.

But thanks for the offer.

So you won’t be watching Bradford at Odslum, not much rugby for you this year old lad.

Well done you! Although it sounds less impressive when you realise we're only talking about a paltry 2500 seats.

Only joking Vasty! I saw it when I went to a football match at Belle Vue and it is very impressive. Though I don't understand why the club didn't put boxes in it. To have that posh new stand but continue to try to pass off that monstrosity of portacabins off as corporate facilities. As for the "new terrace" behind the Conservative club? Salpping a bit of concrete on the crumbling disaster is not a new terrace. In fact, the old crumbling mess is still visible behind it - talk about sticking lipstick on a pig.


Still according to a Wakefield FC fan I was talking to you've got the best ground in the championship next season. Though that's coming from a fan of a club that spent 4 years claiming to be Wakefield's first professional football club - despite playing in an amateur league in Sheffield at a home ground in Featherstone.
