Especially cup semi finals at Doncaster but hey got my ticket for that , went to your place not a good afternoon but looking forward to a different result this Friday.
As an aside what's happening with your ground have you finally been told to spend some money on the facilities any plans ?

Not one of your better post's

Whilst it's clearly a put down to be fair it's hardly wildly innaccurate.

Or put it another way, if they all came they wouldn't fill the North stand.

OUT

Although I generally think you are correct, the number bizarre decisions that go in Wakefield's favour when Ben Thaler is the on-field or video-ref is quite alarming.

This thread is like Déjà vu all over again....

Apologies, it was a typo.














I meant 60

We did in the play off game 2004 a game incidentally decided on a poor referring decision. Loads of players missing and James Child Reffing has put a lot off going on Fri, I'll make the trip to cheer the young kids making their debuts.

Up the Trin

Of course. If he's said that. Do you disagree?

I think most fans here think Childs is one of the poorest refs, to say the least. And I don't disagree. To suggest individual refs are bent, though, is daft.

You can't blame us really, sh!!te beer, stale pies, cars vandalism, the worst ref going who thinks we'll have trailed all that way just to watch him.
Oh and the biggest bind of all, going to Pinderfield's and having to ask for an injection for a virus nobody as yet can identify, nah not for me nicky love btw should that be Nicola or Nicholas, just asking like

Call me whatever you want pal.

Now let's me fair lad, Wigan must be like Monte Carlo in comparison to Wakey! Saying that you're 'upgrading' to Dewsbury soon aren't you? Hitting the big time.

I'll pass on your regards to Mr Child's (he'll probably be in the Wigan supporters bar after the match).

Aye your right there, I've sampled the exotic delights of The King of Clubs, Sweaty Betty's, the bees knees and the likes, always thought I'd had a good night if I went home with my shoe laces intact


As for playing 2nd fiddle at Dewsbury, no difference really than playing 2nd fiddle to Athletic in THEIR ground

Child. Not Child's (why you would think he has an apostrophe in his surname is beyond me?!)


To be fair we have rarely taken many to Wigan (the usual thrashing doesn't help), saying that it was a poor turnout of
Wigan fans at BV earlier in the season.

With our injury list and the way Wigan are playing lately I can see a 30+ point thrashing for us.

Aside from the 23,000 extra seats, the fact it's in our own town and it has running water.

Yeah no difference.

We're only missing 8 on Friday and we've got Child/Childs/Child's (I've covered all bases there on the old I Phone)in our pocket so we'll be sweet.

Away crowds are down across the board to be fair. I'd say our average following over in Yorkshire has probably fallen from 1200-1500 to probably less then 1000. By the same token Wakeys in Lancashire has fallen from around 60 to 53. A devastating blow to clubs finances this side of the Pennines!!

Certainly wont help us to pay this months rent!

None are coming to our ground though because the ref doesn't like them.

We better get a bucket collection going.

They'll probably need the extra seats now Athletic are back in the championship, as for running water, not sure why you need that if the wives all hide they're purses under the soap

Haha we have only had thaler once as ref all season and that was in the cup and we have only had 4 games on sky so dout hes been video ref that many times

Being serious for a second, You Wakey fans don't actually believe one ref is biased enough against you to make it worthwhile boycotting a game? Some are poor and I'd agree that Child is as bad as they come but that's for all teams.

I actually think the reffing has picked up recently. The new guys seem to be pretty good and it's helping that they don't seem totally arrogant lile one or two of the old guard.

All referees give decisions as they see them if it's a penalty then it's a penalty, all any supporter can ask for is consistency which doesn't always happen, and when you lose more than you win you tend to look for excuses.
As you'll appreciate which ever way your travelling over the 62 on a Friday night it's far from ideal, like you at our place you'd plenty missing so have we tomorrow and there all forwards and as hard as it would have been with a nearly full side out anyway if we keep it to 40 then we'll have done well even though yourselves are missing a lot as well, as for Child he's the worst thing to happen to us since Ashley Kline so taking all those things into consideration I'm afraid Mr Child tips the scales for some of us to give it a miss.

This thread is like deja vu all over again...
