i give up. . another supporter lost by an apathetic club

The OP has a perfectly good point. Dont see why people are have having a go, its hardly a difficult job. Why people expect him to do it himself i dont no. As fans we pay our money and support, we shouldnt be doing jobs for the club. (its not appreciated even if you do). And if carter walk then he walks, he isnt the first and wont be the last. He's built the foundations maybe it needs someone new/else to push us forward.

I can't believe some of the drivel I'm reading in this thread.

so you'd rather be in debt

give your head a good shake, when's the last time we could say that

I never said that id rather be in debt. Carter has dragged us out of the crap and put us on a steady footing. Wether hes the man to take us any further who knows. But he does need some people around him, maybe the most important signings will be off field rather than on.

Undefeated in 4, including 2 top 4 clubs, the return of Smith, the Sacking of Agar.... and you throw in the towel because of a piece of wood that hasn't been displayed outside the ground.

You've got some cheek calling the club pathetic fella.

the op has got a point but guess what with a shorten staff that we have at the club who's going to stand up and do that bit more, bit like a jobs worth that can't multi task and has no pride in their club

there will be a point that the club will have to stand up and look after its self, until then if you want a club shut up moaning if you don't go watch some bikes passing

just like to add that I do believe there is a plan but as yet its close to his chest

One missed board does not indicate a badly run club.
It may look really important when you go by on the bus but you don't see what jobs they prioritised above it.

Yes the OP does have a valid point.....But, to stop watching just because the club haven't changed the fixture board, then I think Poynton is just looking for excuses to walk away, and maybe it's a good idea on his part if he gets wound up over simple things at BV.

And we will then have people moaning about it when they could have done something. Do you actually think that by telling people who we are playing will make that much difference. As you have said its 2014 so if you need to know who we are playing look online.

If the WTW chairman whoever it may be bought the entire Australian national side & moved the Wildcats to a stadium which was an exact copy of Wembley there would still be idiots on here complaining.

Good we don't need you

Comments like this really pi$$ me off, whilst I think the OP's comments are a tad pathetic considering things are on the up, saying "we don't need you" is a great way of getting more people down to BV. Well done you

The clubs come on a mile thanks to M C, and I think we can expect a bit of a hit and miss while plans are drawn up. I would hope next season would see improvements in most departments. M C will need a better set up next season and a dedicated team behind him that will buy in to the club system. A good general manager / ops manager who will take the weight of him and take responsibility for marketing, stadium matters match day logistics, and to some extent act as a go between. Its quite often the simple things that make all the difference, and it could be that they are on the back burner while more important things are dealt with. Totally understandable.

We need positivity not constant moaning
I hear comments like poynton's all the time and it doesn't help to promote the club

The interesting thing is that whilst Poyton has a point. He knew it was an old board and he also knew we were playing Leeds on Thursday. I also suspect 99.9% of people in Wakefield that follow Trinity also know that. I would imagine the only people who will miss the game on Thursday due to it not being advertised on said board is poynton and his teddy.

Something needs sorting. We can't afford for any supporter to walk away, esp with the way attendances are massively
down this year.

Everything ON the field at the moment is spot on. If we could get everything OFF the field right attendances will shoot up.

Get rid of the moaners, sick of reading crap from them, Poynton, RealS***e. Bye, do one.

Maybe its a marketing ploy they know how many moaning gets we have as fans so though people will come in moaning about a sign and then buy a ticket lol only joking b4 everyone moans ha

I suspect anyone that will walk away because an advertising board hasn't been updated was already intending to walk away.

The OP is Pathetic

You can usually tell how much real difficulty there is in your life by what you choose to moan about.

When the team meetings at work end up with complaints about the lack of teaspoons in the kitchen.

When your concerns about your neighbourhood revolve around next door not mowing their lawn enough.

When your health concerns involve pulling your hair back to see if its receding.

Then there is this thread. I'm sure you get the drift.

This club can't afford to lose any of its supporters and it is a small job changing the board to advertise the next home match. Although OTT with their comments and subsequent strop they have a point. If no bugger outside of the dedicated supporters know a game is on their unlikely to turn up. It's basic stuff that does not require a marketing genius.

On the radio last might MR said they were exploring the possibility of employing a marketing professional but as ever it would come down to funding. Personally I think they would pay for themselves but I don't hold the purse strings.

The club are now ramping up their community involvement once again so maybe we will see an upturn in attendances once their good work starts to filter through.

The point missed here is that the banner is quite small localised marketing. It isn't designed in my opinion to solely advertise each game, though clearly that is part of it.
The fact that there is something with Wakefield Trinity name and big pictures of players on it, is still advertising the game and the team. It isn't so black and white that if the details of the next game aren't on the board that we will lose customers. It's handy, but not the be all and end all.

I'd like it updated, but it isn't the mopst important thing
