| Quote ="Kettykat"But that’s always been the case at ours and every club ,get the team playing good open attractive rugby and winning games is always going to attract fans, both old and new . Last season we had the core fans supporting the club as we went through our Annus Horribilis ,and lots took a break from a painful season . This coming season the expectations are on a all time high and fans have bought into the hype ,and all the team has to do is win games and keep the fans entertained in the process and it’s a win win . The icing on the cake is the new facilities which will come on stream and will enhance the spectator experience on match days and beyond . But for me the most important part of the jigsaw is the team winning games , because at the end of the day that’s what we’ve ever wanted all along , everything else is a Brucie bonus'"
Being good in the field is not enough at Wakefield.
If you look at the average attendances in our most successful years since the 60s it's still not above the 7,500 Mark.
Part of that is the facilities which are getting better and the active marketing and engagement.
We are getting that together by the looks of it but it won't just happen with success on the field.

| It's strange how much cash this new era is going to save many of us who ploughed money into the club over the past god knows how many years.
I can't remember what the cost of the Platinum Ticket for the NS was for 2023 but probably £300 with the shirt. So that is a saving of £150 but I don't get a shirt and as I bought online for the 1st time I won't routinely be visiting the club shop.
Trinity TV has gone to be replaced by free to view alternatives, so another £50.
Is the lottery now a frivolous expense even if it continues?
The club certainly won't be asking for donations/share purchases?

No point putting content behind a paywall.

I understand what you mean, I just hadn't seen that they'd taken it down.

All I know is I tried watching the last game of the season the other day and there were only 4 full games on the whole thing when you logged in and I still couldn't even watch anything. So I just put it down to either some kind of software problem or a move to a more streamlined system.

| So do we have to make sure to cancel the 4.99 a month or is just shutting down?

Although I pay annually I rarely go on when we're losing away games and attend all homes anyway. Rumour has it that there's been no content available since the takeover.
I've disabled auto pay for next year.

Just checked myself. You are indeed correct.

I was asking tall Daz in the shop last Friday, he said there is a new app being developed, every thing will be on there, I’m not sure what the club is still taking £4.99 a month out of my account if Trinity tv is no longer available.

My subscription renewed automatically end of October, but like you say there's nothing to watch, wonder what the chances are of a refund ?

Mine auto renewed late September. Was hoping we'd know by now if content was going to be added along with all the old games.

Being successful on the field is the catalyst for everything at the club ,without that on field success service fans won’t turn up in any significant numbers . See how long the natives are quiet if we go through a rough patch, it’s all part of the mix , great game ,great food and great hospitality all go hand in hand to maximise revenue , but at the top of the pile for me is a competitive team that entertains and the rest follows on

I agree. But the reverse applies too.
They'll stop coming if the product on the field isn't good, but they'll reach a ceiling if we are successful on the field and not off it.
And in the past 40-50 years that ceiling has been about 5k.

Correct but since the 1960’s we haven’t truly had a dominant team. I know we got to Wembley in 79 with a quickly assembled and even quicker dismantled team but for 44 years nothing major to shout about.
I’ve said it many times before how many clubs would hang onto the fan base we have, having won sod all (major) for over 50 years? Probably none.

This is where it'll be interesting what happens at Leigh these next few years. If they can maintain a top 5 spot and get their academy sorted out etc it'll be interesting to see what levels their support will get to before it tops out. Or has the mass influx of fans, purely been down to the fact it's almost come out of nowhere and because of the novelty factor of playing good RL and winning something?
If they just maintain their SL position for the next couple of years, will that be enough to keep all those extra fans that jumped on the bandwagon to keep coming? I'll be genuinely interested to see how it plays out for them.

I'd forgive them if they were, all things considered.
