The way I see it is this:

I would "lend" a hundred quid to a homeless man if I thought it would help to turn his life around, and I would not be bothered about getting it back if I saw him in a years time, in a job, sober, with a small roof over his head. What I wouldn't do is "lend" a hundred quid to a homeless man if I expected to see him in a years time still on the park bench, in a booze-stained coat, just a year closer to his early death, knowing that the hundred quid will have just been wasted on more booze and hopeless living.

It's not the money, it's the uncertainty that would maybe prevent me, and I'm not hearing much to give me any confidence.

nice post and truly respect you and your views but what has actually happened in last 24 hours means red hall press mps etc mean nothing, the business as it stands is dead,i take no glory from saying that but it was obvious 12 months ago.
This isnt a raffle ticket, race night, type of problem its a "do you know anyone with a spare couple of million that wants to invest long term on wtrlfc"
is i have already said to phil and on here, you put in 1k its a donation, sorry sue, as i think your name is but but things have gone too far, and please can we lose tha crap together we are stronger line forever?

and how these skint fans have dug deeply into their pockets over the years not just for the club

Totally agree. I myself have will most likely stump up and having a chat with a few people I am sure that whatever sum is eventually reached it will be used wisely. Like someone has said it will initially be deposited in an account with conditions attached. These are only my thoughts but conditions I could live with are
1. The money must ensure in some part SL survival

or kept as a 'fighting fund' should we be relegated to the lower leagues.

And other famous clubs have no sugar daddies and the same skint fans, and the fans still support their clubs, week in and week out.

We deserve no sympathy, I've come round to this now. We should get the best deal we can get for dropping down to the Championship (which is where we'll surely end, whatever plan B or C or D we have), clear our debt, work towards Newmarket, and show everyone that in 2015 there is at least one franchise club that deserves to be replaced by us. Let's not kid ourselves that we have a glimmer of a hope of a franchise. I only hope the RFL don't promote Toulouse, so at least we get one holiday game.

Well you're all heart. FFS... crap analogy

Agree with most of that but personally I feel better trying to DO SOMETHING rather than sit and say I told you so when its gone. ( not that I am saying you will do that). For the record I do not have and extra £1 to invest never mind £1000 ! , nor do I know any rich fools as even £1m would be a donation. And yes sadly WakE are not together at all , its more of United we stand divided we fall at the moment

True supporters shouldn't have money left to afford holiday games

t
good prose!
i will learn from you at analogy school, i was going for if youve got a bog clogged with tissue that someone had shoved down before you dont tend to shove down more tissue to clear it, you try and remove the previous blockage.
i must read one of your books one day, if they dont have any big words

If this is true it seems the game is up in the view of the RFL.

Has this guy kept secret what the RFL said to make him change his mind? or do the BOD know what was said to him and they dare not say?

Didn't the sharehoders question this?

mine would be this bod go, are not allowed 1p of the money and mr loyalty gos with them then i would do it otherwise no chance and we eventually all get the cash back when we went through a few year

I did not think it was put like that. I thought he had pulled out when we did not get planning permission

Problem is the board want as many supporters as possible to 'invest' yet only want the select few who attended last night to know the full facts. Sorry but that just ain't gunna happen. There are way too many questions need answering before people will stump up their hard-earned and sadly those answers are not forthcoming.

Think its time to come to terms with the fact that in a very short space of time the club and professional sport in wakefield will cease to exist.

Sorry Sue, but what are you going to do? If you don't have the cash, what is there to do? Write letters? Save yourself the money for the stamp.

I tell you what there is to do. Support the lads like you do. Make sure that however tough this season is, the poor buggers who have to wear the Wakefield Trinity shirt are supported to the end, that they cop no sh11te, that they give their all, and that we end up in a place above last spot, so that when we're chucked out, no one can ever say we were beaten to it on the field. Heads high, loud and proud.

Give over you tight get. Get slugger to write your 'tell all' life story and you'll be minted

not tight and not bloody stupid either

put that post on a t shirt and market the sod
class RR

its realism time im afraid.

Get real. These are the kind of games that will keep supporters interested in fixtures against Dewsbury/Batley, etc.

How much money have you got left, big shot? The cost of your season ticket would probably pay my flight over to Wakey for one game.

ok on marking that answer id give it 1/2

Im impressed... a very sensible post and very poignant of actually where we stand at the moment. And as much as it will probably be a hard pill to swallow (and while your swallowing it TRB will have his fingers down your throat trying to get the pill back out again whilst shouting from his cue card that all is not lost) its one that ultimately we all have to accept and move on.

I actually enjoyed the trips to Rochdale, Oldham, Swinton etc... in the years leading up to our Grand Final win and theres no reason they cant be enjoyed again. SL will be a worse place without us, but the Championship will be a better one.

I'll add a few





next time

Don't be a smart. TRB is far closer to what's going on than I am. I'm telling you how it is from where I stand. TRB is entitled to his own opinion, but I know the guy, respect the guy, and have every faith in him. Doesn't force me to agree with him, but that's how grown-ups work.

We should agree to take whatever payment we can to join the Championship. Anything else will cost us more than we have. IMO.

Blackburn 3 - 1 Liverpool

Look forward to seeing you in the Sports Bar in Toulouse.

Fair enough. It's been a bit of a tiring evening.

No idea what they said but the point I was making was that he was not put off by debts as some on here are implying. We were told and again you can believe what we are being told or not that he was keen to take over the club but following a meeting with the RFL/SL pulled out.

Apparantly told Crusaders that they are in as well as Widnes - guess we'll see in July.

You were doing so well..... and then spoiled it.
