Maybe if we had had some of the SL SKY money in the first two seasons we were in the competition we might have been better positioned to deliver more on our promises. We are one of the smaller clubs without a really wealthy backer so don't underestimate the loss of two years money compared to everyone else (in fact its a miracle we managed to survive those first 2 years).
Many people when having a dig seem to forget this fact, despite every club coming up since getting a fair share of the pie

I'm a shareholder in a racehorse, Albeit a very good one.
We do it for the love of it, As it happens, The prize money always covers the costs, But we were fortunate. At the time of purchasing this, We purchased another, Who ran 3 times and was retired. But we invested for the love of the sport. Yes

Bit of a contradiction in terms there pal, how can you be losing cash left right and centre when you do not have any in the first place, I think its called an oximoron, but please be assured it is not an insult towards you

And your point is what exactly? My response to you was about my perception of you making a sarcastic comment re our finances, Thanks for your frank views on our relegation at the end of 2011 btw, Its good you along with a lot of other people find it hilarious, and if it does happen I'm sure we will strive to do our upmost in the championship. And fwiw good luck to Wigan and their knowledgable fans (well most of them are anyway) in the coming season.

Not bitter at all , did I/we fail ? , well we made SL , so a pass , could we maintain it ? , no , so that was a fail , was I willing to lose my business/house/family for my RL club ?, no , so is that a pass or a fail ? you tell me
Did I set up and fund an award winning community dept that is still running ? , yes , so that is a pass
Would I do it all again if I had the same situation ? , no
So bitter ? , no , just better informed and experienced

I dont find it hilarious dont forget we nearly went down the other season (in before cheats jibes) it hurts but for the good of the club you got to rebuild, the thing i dont like about it all was the lies which was way out of line on your clubs behalf not just to everyone but to you lot

Not being funny mate, but how do you think we feel about being lied to and the rest of the unsavoury business, still we would not be who we are if things ever went right for us fans

Who's laughing I was simply stating well known fact I think it's disgusting a traditional club is left to die while a team in France and wales has money thrown at them in the name of "expansion" but I certainly wasn't making a joke as you seem to forget my teams been in the same situation and it's not nice sorry if I have offended anyone but it wasn't aimed at laughing at them

Sorry, but "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ".
Yes, tragic that Wakey are in such a bad state, wouldn't wish that on any SL club. But you don't need to make stuff up either, just put your tin hat back on and get back to rocking back and forth in the corner.

positive... not until the deal is done... we wakefield fans are a little cautious about good news...... Glover in an interesting courtier ( and a long time fan of the club)... however there is a rumoured consortium lurking in the shadows, a group that have a big interest in the stadium development at Newmarket and for more than one reason... (indeed... some quarters say the deal has already been done, but is waiting the seal of approval from the administrator) a consortium that would have the RFL's collective mouths salivating with anticipation at their involvement in Superleague... and if the deal is to believed then to have them in a lower league would be a MASSIVE wasted business opportunity for Rugby League!
however, as I said, we wakefield fans have learned to be only cautiously optimistic
time will tell.
