Now that another 2 players have gone (Poore and Aiton) and with the lack of regular or reliable updates,
the club may as well remove this feature from the website.

Although it's hard to argue with MC's need to balance the books, we are starting to look as though we are
selling fresh air.

Can we really expect any significant additional S/T' sales.

There will only be an upturn IF we start to announce some new players and can the resolve of the fans hold out until
this moment arrives

Itś very hard to be positive isn´t it. Unfortunately, the lack of season ticket sales were the catalyst for player offloading but ticket sales now most certainly suffer even more.

It was a mistake to put it on. All it has been is a stick to beat the club with whilst in reality it's showed the pathetic support this city has for its only professional (some would argue otherwise) sports club. The players leaving were never going to help but the fact is supporters had about 2 months of purchasing time before the grim reality revealed itself and balked at firstly paying £150 for a season ticket then £180. I doubt had things not gone close to pop Trinity would have more than 2500 season ticket holders and ultimately that is not enough to fund a SL team who doesn't have a rich owner.

how many have been sold so far? you can only really expect that number to dounle from now til the start of the season (considering most people who will want a season ticket will have either renewed or bought one early doors)

1600 and they haven't.

We'll be lucky to get 2K let alone 3K. I got mine 3 months ago but even as a supposed 'die-hard' i'd be thinking twice about getting one now, especially at over two hundred quid.

....and there is the problem right there.....the apathy of the people of Wakefield....one of the lads i work with spent £260 the last night out he had in Leeds....and people moan that £200 for a full season of the best sport on the planet is excessive....makes my blood boil...

1600 ticket sales to a population of around 325,000. It's not even half a percent! Is there really that much going on in Wakefield that 99.51% aren't interested in its only professional sports team?

Judging by the way things are going with ticket sales and player losses, it's time to get rid of the counter and contact Bob Geldof for a 'give us your money' appeal video to put in its place.

Wow. £260 on a night out must have meant a real enjoyable time was had! Whilst watching wakey next year....

Get shut of the counter and that stupid "together we are stronger" line. That peed me off even when things looked rosy!

Also! All those that have "had enough"; If you have, then go away and stop this slow bleeding to death all over this messageboard. When I've "had enough" I'll log off and find something else to do!

...it's a city of blame......blame the council......blame their employers......blame Thatcher......blame Glover......blame Ted......blame Elston......plenty of blame, complaining & negativity......however not quite willing to go out & do something about it......and I'm not just talking abut Trin.

However......plenty of money for booze & fags........oh.......and the odd Greggs.

Next up for the blame...........MC?

Never known a city with such a chip on it's shoulder.

So if your bank collapsed who would you blame?

Perhaps the Lord himself!!

you're right in what you say Mary, though I aren't sure it applies. After all, the supporters of WTW are the ones who have repeatedly been taken for a ride.

your love for your club, it would seem, isn't reciprocated - and that must be heartbreaking.

So I would fully support and understand that fans are trying to lay the blame, and need to be able to lay the blame for people to keep faithfully handing over their hard-earned. After all, the smoke screen the club has billowed for years still hasn't blown over - I've no idea who is culpable and I doubt anyone else has.

This latest set-back stunned/shocked/appalled me really. You guys have twice the number of paying supporters you had 5-10 years ago, and it would appear this increased revenue for the club has been frittered away as frivellously as ever.

The club seemed to have everything in place this year to really push on, after getting into the play-offs in 2012. But alas two steps forward have resulted in three back.

bloody thatcher eh.

why should the fact that other people spend money on a night out make your blood boil? perhaps you need to calm down?

I think it's the principle mate, how people can frivellously spend £260 on the pop, but are incredibly tight with it about their rugby club....

I get it, although "blood boiling" is maybe a bit OTT

I know what you're saying Dave....I was agreeing with upthecats.

The apathy around the city of Wakefield is unreal. All the genuine fans come on this forum with a huge passion for the club & want it to suceed.

Time & time again we get hurt & frustrated with another false dawn.

I just don't want it to go the same way as other sporting clubs have in the city - remember it's football team & rugby union team?

I know MC and he's working his nads off trying to do what's best for the club.

Just hacks me off no end when keyboard warriors/doom & gloom merchants think they know best!

Just wanted to say that whoever is with us player wise next season I will go and shout my lungs off for, I will shout when they are rubbish because they will be my rubbish and will still support them, I have supported this club since the mid 60's and have seen some terrible times, all of which we have come thru and some which have been worse that we have now. If we end up in the Championship League I will support them because they are my TEAM. And as a PS I have a really good feeling about next season and can see us playing some good rugby because when our backs are to the wall we go out there and show others what we can do. Come on supporters back the club, back the players and stop blaming anyone.

Rant over

I blame "together we are stronger" and whoever came up with it!

Still, those £15 coats keep you warm from the club shop. Very funny to see the tweet from Andrew Voss wanting to get he 3 shirts for a tenner but the shop was shut!

'Together We Close Earlier.'

Let's hope Mr. Voss gets his shirts in the end!

I think I've sorted it for him

Well done! Cheap publicity that someone at the club should have thought of rather than replying about opening times.

Seems they couldn't be bothered updating the counter this week. Either that or we haven't sold any.

You would like that then you and your fellow drones could continue to post how well we are doing, what a success we are and how much nicer it is that we can now find places to park on match days.
You will find that I and many on here consider that the club is bigger than the current board who are only transient however they are the current incumbents responsible for how it is perceived. This is what bothers many that they are making her look shabby and just a laughing stock. This is also the same people that are now responsible for the progression of Newmarket do you think they have the ability to do so or will the possible costs make them think it will be unworkable considering everything is now based on profitability.
