| Gotta love a good Northern RL fan... You made beer cheaper, quicker to get served and I don't have to have a slash in the dark, that'll do for me

| Quote ="jack in the box"lets look at what has happened so far. Bulbs in the floodlights,improvements to the bar a few new huts selling programmes. All great improvements that were long overdue.
However they are little things that will not have cost a great deal to do. What I want to see is Mr glover making a REAL impact ! The only way that will happen will be for him to get his hand in his pocket and make a difference where it really matters and thats on the pitch.
When I see that starting to happen I will be much happier but as far as I am concerned , The Jury is still out on Mr Glover'"
Thats a bit harsh! he's only been in charge a few weeks and there is a lot to do to make the club better run, you cant make a judgement on anyone yet. At least changes are being made, better than the status quo year after year which we had before..

We may not get a francise but with Mr Glover in charge i'm alot more optimistic about the future of our great club,keep up the good work.'" had the same problem today but it would help if the lad tipped the glass in the right manner to prevent it frothing up, just practice they need and I'm willing to buy a few so they can

| Lots of little improvements, going a long way to make the best of our tired old ground.
The matchday experience is certainly heading in the right direction on the whole and there seems to be a air of positivity around the ground perhaps aligned with a real sense of reality that our squad is not strong enough, but hey where all in it together.
Together we definitely seem to be stronger and a bit happier?
Well done to all of us, I say.

| I'm sure quite a few years ago there was a bottle bar set up at the end of the room. Maybe an idea to do this again as would cut down on the queue at the bar. Went in the supporters bar last night around 7 and had no problem being served but the queue t 7.45 was long and didn't seem to be moving. Top marks though for the TV screens, think it will take all Wakey fans a bit of time to get used to the fact that there is someone in charge who says what he is willing to do and then does it. We've had too many false dawns over the past few years. I honestly believe if the right player came up and they wanted to come to wakey he would put the money up.

| Mr Glover has come in and clearly made improvements in and around the club as well as the facilities as previous posters above have highlighted. The little things like toilet paper in the toilets, light bulbs replaced, painting done etc etc. I also remember them stating that they can go to maximum salary cap if they chose to.
After that statement I would have expected some decent signings and admittedly it would be difficult at this stage of the season, but there has been no such signings of any calibre apart from young inexperienced kids really, so is that all Wakey can expect ??
Its no secret that unless a small miracle happens wakefields fate is already decided, and it appears to me like that has been accepted and therefore the club are clearly not going to be bringing in any high profile players and spend up to the cap, or to be honest come anywhere near the cap. Mr Glover wont be bringing anyone in and will carry on with what you have until the decision is confirmed at the end of this month (although I think he knows already) and then he can justify why he wont be spending on players this season.
I am sure as a club and a business they will want to keep hold of the cash, as well as the parachute payments the club will receive next season, and then probably be able to put together a very competitive squad for the championship campaign in 2012.

| The only twist or turn could be potentially two going up.....if you really believe otherwise then your either Ralph Rimmer or just clinging to false hope. I really hope your right as its a complete f but i think deep down its a formality

Pretty much sums it up !! ''every little helps'' as they say and all ready there is an all round better match experience for the fans ... With the stadium we have theres not gonna be massive improvements but enough to get ppl talking and keep the bank balance ticking over £££!!! The main source of income however still remains the performances on the pitch but the cheap beer, the use of the hospitality, food and merchandise been sold around the ground - it all helps ...

As has been stated on another thread Andrew Glover has to receive paperwork from the RFL before he can start signing players on, apparently this will take a few weeks, hence the delay.

Just because Andrew Glover has said the club can spend up to the cap doesn't automatically mean top class players will arrive. One they have to be available and two they have to want to come. With the club the current favourites to lose their license no player of any class will sign. To think otherwise is incredibly naive.

Can anyone clarify/shed any light on the 'paperwork' aspect regarding new signings. AG or JE alluded to this at the recent fans meeting, but I still don't understand it. If it is the RFL we are waiting for, then what was the 'fit and proper' person farce all about when we were in administration. If it is something to do with overseas signings, then if there are UK signings to be made then use some leverage now to get them. As well as the team has played so far, I feel that we can't go on much longer with the same personnel, the kids can't just keep on taking the knocks and JK seems to be trying to rotate them as much as is possible.

| I thought it was to with getting a licence to bring in foreign workers.

Domestic players obviously wouldn't be an issue, but that would be down to availability of players of the requisite standard.

That's only for overseas players. Can't see any British players of suitable quality being available to sign right now, especially for the positions we need. Think the only realistic target we could end up with would be Tansey. Ability wise he's better than what we've got but his attitude could be a major problem especially with us being such a young team.

It was because Jinjer and his team were trebling up with the pints.
