Don't know why he has decided to leave the boards and I don't know him well except when we did a few charity walks to Cas and Huddersfield a few years ago, but sorry to see you go buddy. Hope you come back soon.

I for one know why, Al has been treated pretty bad by the club and has decided to say enough is enough. I will not go in to detail but its a sad day when a man like Al says he will not go to watch wakefield anymore. this man has done so much for our club and I for one are not happy by the way he has been dealt with by the club, but like I say I will not go in to detail about it. Sad day for us has Al is a very good mate of mine and has done a lot for me and my lads when they played rugby with Wesrgate.

| Yes I've heard the story and I am gobsmacked that Al has been treated so badly
If you are reading this Mr Chairman I think it may be worth looking into this asap
All the best Al hope to see you back at the ground sometime soon Quote ="bazzo44"I for one know why, Al has been treated pretty bad by the club and has decided to say enough is enough.

Is this the fall out from the confiscated bottle thread or something entirely different? Personally I've never had a problem when watching the game but it is worrying to see a percentage of the small number of supporters who do give a stuff about the club start to walk away. The club can not afford to lose supporters and should be looking at reasons why they feel aggrieved and coming to an amicable solution to keep their custom.

Its a bit to do with the confiscated bottle job, but its the way a loyal fan like Al has been treated, I fear is family may walk away and his mates, big knock on affect. |

I knew Al when I was younger and played rugby with both of his sons. Though, I don't speak to him much these days I know he bleeds red, white and blue. The chairman really should take this one into his own hands. When someone has spent thousands supporting trinity over the years, home and away, they deserve the respect of the club and the club has been nothing short of disrespectful.

This is sad, Al personifies the Wakefield Trinity and has supported through thick and thin, it's ludicrous that a man so steeped in the red white and blue has felt so aggrieved that he's washed his hands of the club.
If this is down to some jobsworth thats spent a whole 5 minutes being employed at Belle Vue and thinks he has authority over stand up and respected fans like Al who has spent a lifetime going above and beyond the call, then I'm disgusted and it needs sorting out!
Al, if you're reading this I hope you'll reconsider, Wakefield Trinity is your club and everyone else is just passing through, Don't let them take it away from you.

It is a sad day when guys like Al and his family walk away from us due to the pig-headedness of those in charge. And believe me he is not alone in walking and there are others on the brink of doing so. Maybe our great leaders ought to consider customer care a little more than they do at present otherwise it will hit their precious balance sheet more than they realise.

No club no matter how wealthy can afford to loose supporters like ElRey and his family. RL is simply not big enough.

I'm shocked and very concerned to hear this. Whilst I can't say that I know El Rey personally I have spoken to him a couple of times. I know he is an out and out Wakefield supporter for life. For someone/something to make this happen causes me a great level of concern as expressed by others in this thread.
Whatever the club have done needs look at and addressing. Maybe it is a misunderstanding or a clear difference of views? I've no idea.
Whatever it is the club needs to be bringing in new fans not driving away the lifeblood of the club.
I'm very saddened on this news.

I must admit I am surprised that Mr Carter hasn't acknowledged this and the other thread it sends out a bad vibe to Wakey supporters. |

Just like to add this
when I joined in 2007 Al was a well established moderator and helped maintained this site from mayhem, I've always found firm but fair and have on a few times been pulled over the coals by not keeping within rules,
one of several that started the walks to Huddersfield and fund raising over £100,000 for Brennan Rooney,
I missed the first walk through an injury but joined in on the second to Huddersfield, we did a few more one from Hudds to Wakey and Cas to wakey,
it brought a great deal of pride to a lowly club like ours showing that its not all about success,
when Leon Walker had passed away in the game in Wales is was discussed whether he was going to walk to Salford but we it was decided that that we could donate through the predictions league when I used to do it, this now leads me to one stand out thing that speaks volumes about the guy,
while it had been made through contacts to go meet Donna and Steve I was beginning to feel uptight at the thoughts of getting all so wrong on my own, when I mentioned this to Al he said don't worry I will come with you, I can tell you without him I would of been a trembling wreck, that evening when I got in that car I can tell you a shed a tear and the big man too looked rocked.
I stood with him at the game regular and been to loads of fund raising events for the squad builder having some great evenings out.
I can truly say that he and his family will be sadly missed if they decided not to come back to BV |

 I'd support this. I don't know the guy personally but what I do know is that he sent me a PM when I suggested easyfundraising.org for WTW, thanking me but also wanting to send some DVD's of old Trinity matches in the 1990s for my lads as a gesture as well. Tended to agree with 99% of his posts so he must know his rugby.
Hope it's temporary and he comes back to the forum. WTW is more than just about a club it's a culture....  |
