The Supporters Trust. and SquadBuilder group is still very much alive and kicking, fundraising for our future stars. Roger Draper has already said how much he's looking forward to taking part in the Trust's annual Quiz Night next season.
The contributions from all the Trust and SquadBuilder members are very much appreciated and they can be proud to have helped towards the development of players like Ben Currie, Joe Philbin, Rhys and Ben Evans, James Laithwaite, Kevin Penny, Gene Ormsby, Gaz O'Brien, Brad Dwyer, George and Toby King, Sam Wilde, Harvey Livett, Jack Johnson and Dec Patton, to name just the ones who were part of the 2015 squad.

Someone who has "#RLfamily" in their signature, ensuring that I can't read any of their posts without cringing, doesn't represent me at all, so if Slaphead63 is on the committee that's a bad sign for starters.

So why is there a need to have a separate "Wire Fan Club"? Has Roger Draper explained that.

What I don't understand is why haven't people such as Slaphead been an active members of the Supporters Trust for the last few years? It provides everything that he has listed in his post above as the great things the Wire Fan Club will do already.

The fact that Roger Draper is cosying up to these self-appointed, self-styled representatives of the Warrington Supporters I do find quite distasteful and disrespectful to the hard-working representatives of the Supporters Trust and Squadbuilder. It is certainly making me think that the club doesn't give a flying fig about the £5 I have donated every month for the last 13 years (or however long Squadbuilder has been in place) and certainly ain't bothered about whether I continue to or not.

1875/76 then. I got my maths wrong. 140 years from now it was.

Yeah me also £60/year for 13 years. I would have thought that support may have been considered #hardwired enough for an invite, but alas no.

I worked abroad and could only get to games when in the UK so could not commit myself to even buying a season ticket. Sorry if that makes me a bad person? It is not just about donating a fiver a month well done for that

but how do you not know I am in the trust as well? How do you know I do not spend 100 quid a time I visit the ground with lottery and first Try score etc? FYI I am nothing t do with the Fan Club but went along the other night to the forum as I am a member and have been 3 years. TBH I cannot even remember seeing any events or things for fans so the new Fan Club at leasts wants to use actual fans for things and events instead of it being a backslapping club ..................So I suggest that you get of your high horse before it takes a dump on you.

I don't think they do.

I guessed you weren't in the Supporter's Trust because you were obviously not aware of what they actually do. I now know you're not because the £5 a month is for Squadbuilder whilst the trust is something like that (if that) per year.

If you do spend a £100 per visit on lottery and first-try tickets per visit then I suggest you do visit the Squadbuilder website and look at joining that initiative as I'm sure you can afford it to assist junior development for Warrington Wolves.

Don't understand what you have been a "member" of for 3 years or what forum this vehicle organised.

Glad to hear that the people behind the Wire Fan Club want to use actual fans to organise things. Can't wait to meet these actual fans - I have obviously been associating with a bunch of phonies for the last 13 years.

Out of interest and not a dig at Slaphead63 but who provided the mandate for this "representation" of the fan base?

Whilst I am at it, why are SqB and Supporters Trust not automatic members of the #hardwired membership?

I don't care about anything other than what happens on the pitch. Dropping the Wolves name and lowering admission prices a bit would be my manifesto if I was gonna become a supporters rep though. Who wants to nominate me?

I think your missing the point, or maybe the other chaps point is quite right, anyway I guess what some are saying on here is why are the organisations already doing good things not given the opportunity to expand on what they do now,I may be wrong and they already have and turned it down,but this as not been mentioned,it's got nothing to do with anyone getting on high horses etc it's about having a view. What makes me laugh is this new club says there won't be any bitching,people will feel comfortable posting etc lmao.

OK, I feel a bit better about that then, but that doesn't cover all my questions-any input on them?

And I must apologise for an error in my first reply-we were formed as Zingari in 1876, so our first season was 1876/7; we dropped Zingari for 1877/8.

I'd like to nominate you, just give me a day or two to think of something suitable...

Only kidding DKM

The thing that came up at the meeting that most interested me was the naming rights for the stadium,think it's next year it's up for renewal.

I just wanted to advise anyone on a high horse who doesn't want to be dumped on, to STAY on the horse. Unless you're riding in zero gravity, you're much less likely to get into trouble up there.

Promise me you'll get rid of the wolves name and I'll nominate you

It is being discussed with the club at present.

No apology required. I didn't take offence.
I don't know when Zingari were formed and I don't think we were formed from them either.
I'm pretty sure around the 76 period the team as we know it Warrington were formed from an amalgamation of 3 clubs, Zingari being one of them.
I think the home games were played on a field near Sankey Street before moving to Wilderspool.

Thanks. A little late for the Pyramid event. I would have liked to have been invited.

You would have been confused, it was in black and white

If you got rid of "Wolves" I'd nominate you!

Says the man with "Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves" as his signature ........... Accept changes and move forward contribute to making the club better on and off the pitch instead of fighting it.

Everyone who had renewed the membership/season ticket had the option to attend via email and postings on the main site,That is where I got mine from?

I think it was from the people who attended the fans forums at the club if what Roger D said on Wednesday. No idea about SB or Trust members ...sorry.

I wasn't apologising for risk I'd caused offense, it was because my error could cause confusion.

It's not a case of whether we were formed from Zingari, we ARE Zingari. The club dropped the appendix in 1877, and from then on was known as Warrington Football Club. Other clubs joined forces at later dates, providing personnel, officials, and no doubt other inputs (fans, money, possibly kit and influencing ground moves), but the name remained, and the club can trace its origins back to the meeting in 1876 when Zingari were formed.

I really hope there's a strong heritage section on the club site when it's launched next week. I'll be reviewing thoroughly and feeding back my comments on here and to the club if required once I've digested it.
