Firstly I’d like to say congratulations to Davide for getting the role of Chief Executive at Featherstone Rovers. Davide is a massive loss to the club!! He has had many offers in the past and turned them down due to his love for the club. When we meet he speaks passionately about Wakefield and his decision wasn’t taken lightly! He has forged many links within the community, in Schools, RL Clubs and other people who can offer assistance to the club. He has brought in hundreds of thousands of pounds through numerous bids to keep the Community Trust at the forefront of the RL including the recent Children in Need Trailer that is corporately branded with the Wildcats logo.

He asked for me to help in 2006 and often asks for my help to this day! However why he’s different to others is he always acknowledges and is grateful. Take the community day. I personally raised £3000 in funding which enabled Stavros Flatly to come. I personally contacted 90% of the stalls round the outside, paid through the funding for all the gazebos and made sure the stalls was fun,fully equiped and had an agency attached that may benefit the community. I left the stadium at 10pm the night prior after spending weeks on the project and not many outside the club knew this.. I won’t go on but needless to say Davide made sure the next possible time he saw me he had a letter of thanks and personally thanked me. There’s the difference, he knows how to network gain contacts but more importantly keep them happy and that’s what’s kept me involved at the club! It doesn’t take much but it is essential!!

I don’t often post but I am extremely disappointed and angry with a whole range of things and those who know me personally know I ain’t like this often.. I will leave my wrath for another day!
For now Congratulations and Good luck Dav, Featherstone have an extremely good catch, someone who was essential for mine………. Say no more Mick Amos

Sinking ship??? 100% will we have a club after this week?

agree good luck davide!

We seem to be on a roll re bad news today.

yes good luck il have a word when i see you. known for a bit about it but didnt know if hed take it.

It just gets better and better. The much respected leader of our one shining light, the community department, has now jumped ship as well. Can't say I blame him either. Thanks for all your hard work and good luck.

This has not been a good day.

For me, if Davide has gone, it's a bigger loss than Sam, Jeffries, Fergie or Murphy..

GUTTED!

Quality, all the best to a shining individual... however...

Der Der Der ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST !!

In my disappointment I forgot to say good luck Davide, you deserve your success!

Good look and i can understand why you have left for what appears to be a bigger job.

Absolutely gutted. Yet more bad news for Wakey. Thanks for all you have done Davide and all the best for the future.

All the best Davide thanks for all you have done for Wakey

yeah and none of us are taking any pleasure in it

The sh*t as hit the fan then All the Best Dav

Correct... but dont come all surprised, it had to happen.

Im surprised you havnt been poached yet to bring squadbuilder somewhere else.

wisca spokesman poached for a clubs 321 draw unless they cancel it

Oh dear, after having a great weekend with Wakey and other fans i wish i had stopped down there. Real shame about Davide longo, along with Sam they will take some replacing.
We are just making the RFL's job easier and easier. Good luck Davide, bit of a blow leaving for a part time club, hope you come back one day.

Thanks and good luck Davide.

Best of luck mate, hope you enjoy working for a well run club!

yeah by Wakefield Hockey U18, losing 3-1 in a cup match yestreday 5 min to go up pops young parker and scores then we score again goes to penalty shoot out and youngP scores again and Wakey win...yeah Wakey in the next round of the Cup, can you believe it

Have you finished the Huddersfield fanzine yet? Lucky charm that you are...

Its coming out when we play Workington away in the National Rail Cup Qualifier in Feb 2012.

can we have ted with di on his shoulders for the front cover

Yep, nothing legally wrong with that one I dont think. So I think I can muster it together.

Absolutely massive loss, the impact Davide and his team have in the community can last a lifetime. We all know how successful our community programme is and alot of that lays at the hands of DL. Thanks for all your hard work and good luck at Fev, you'll be missed
