Mr Motivator... please define the term "Fight".

Ive just checked and if I cancel SKY multiroom, switch from Virgin Broadband to get a SKY TV/Phone/Broadband package and switch energy suppliers I can muster up £25 a month in savings.

£25 X 36 months gets me £900!
I need to fins another £3 a month from somewhere.

post of the night

To try and answer the questions on debts and why investors pulled out based on what I heard last night. If I heard wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.

One of the investors after spending weeks on due dilligence pulled out but was later found to be a former bankrupt Director who was unable to hod office in any event.

The over investor was a multi-millionaire (worth £150m I seem to recall). He examined the books and the Clubs debts did not frighten him off, indeed the debt was "small potatoes" to him. He was keen to take over and the Club requested that the RFL see him so as to see the calibre of investor who was looking to take over the Club. Initially the RFL refused to meet him stating that the process had already started - what process, franchise applications are not to be submitted until March unless they were referring to the process with NL Clubs applications.

They were however persuaded to meet with the Investor and following the meeting with the RFL/SL he said that the investment no longer fitted in with his current portfolio/plans.

This is what I find particularly worrying. He was keen (having seen the books) until he met with the RFL/SL. What did they say to him that made him change his mind ? Did they say anything about who would be getting franchises in 2012 ? Did they say anything at all ? Did he just change his mind ? Who knows ?

If I've got this wrong then please put me straight.

It's what Blackburn are winning against Liverpool at the moment. Enjoy.

I,m 50 shortly and am going to give up the fags.I know where the money i save is going now!

hy cant we sell the team and play the accademy

Surely if the RFL knew we had someone with that sort of clout willing to invest, they would not have said anything against our chances and surely could not run the risk of doing so either. Surely the BOD know exactly why he changed his mind, and if they don't then they should be asking him and trying to persuade him otherwise

and they all rolled over and one fell out, there was 3 in the bed and the little one said roll over

If above is true.... then I'll put £5k in if I can meet with the RFL/SL first to ensure Im not just throwing it down the lav.

Come on mate, you're not daft. What would they say to him? Show us your stadium and a few million investment and you can have your franchise. Can't deliver the stadium, so no deal. Can't deliver SL, so no takeover. We may end up being a supporters' trust club in the Championship. I can think of worse scenarios.

worrying, very very worrying.

one hell of a late day and only just got to come and see the response to last night,

I just can't believe that nothing has been said from the club, surly they must of known that the forum would hit off with truths, rumours and counter rumours.

to me its like burrowing your head in the sand and hoping it will all go away, well it isn't.

I'm now prepared to except championship rugby as I fear our fete has been sealed by,

1. no one will to invest heavily
2 the RFL has forced us into a corner and we end up cowering in it.

Mopsey while you may be right about the outcome, surly your not getting any satisfaction from the clubs plight.

Phil I've asked my question about whether I could afford to stand a grand and its a no, do a value rugby in Wakefield of course I do.

I take my hat off to those that don't mind taking that risk but I'm afraid its a big boys game when you start to invest in something so volatile.

I'm not going to stand and shout for the Bod to go or for John Kears job, for one I wouldn't know where to start running a club/business and JK will take advantage of being sacked and make all worse financially.

Having read through many of the posts on here re our current plight the way I see it is that all the Wakey fans care even if they have a strange way of showing it. Many of the fans are upset that it is only the shareholders who attended last nights meeting who have heard the full story. I believe the shareholder meeting last night should have at least been followed by a supporters meeting tonight. Everyone on here could have then gone along listened to what the club had to say and then put their points of view / shown their support or voice their lack of it. In fact it would be great to see the fans on here put their views forward as to how they would get us out of the situation we are in and help OUR club survive. The way I see it we are not doing ourselves any favours by falling out amongst ourselves, what picure must that paint at Red Hall. We have to fight for OUR club , its about Wakefield Trinity Wildcats past present and future , not about personalities who come and go. Come on we have ALL invested lots of money, time, heartache, good times and bad and thats what you do when you LOVE something so much , accept it warts and all. So put your time into writing a letter to Red Hall, the press, MPs , whoever shout loud and proud WE ARE WAKEFIELD, TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER.

sort of says it all really, true fan, great bloke, no where to go at present.
know how he feels.

WE ARE WAKEFIELD, TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER.......... BUT WE ARE STILL SKINT !!

no satisfaction at all, i stood by what i said all along no one believed me. i know things about dowwn there which il keep to myself. bitter too right i am i was treated shoddy and people didnt deliver and lied and went back on their word. satisfaction in seeing the club i love ripped to bits for years no thats not me. were a bloody laughing stock,it hurts but im getting immune to disaster watching us.

Indeed and we are not the only ones.
Sadly other clubs have sugar daddies we just have the skint fans
