Outside the Cathedral - where the 'Wildcat' is!

I'll come at 10 and stay as long as required.



I feel this is a very important day for the future of the club and also an opportunity to show support for all that SWAG have done on our behalf. If you can make it, even for an hour or two, do so



Will there be lots of clipboards and maybe tables to rest on?

Before the HKR game I missed a lot of people because each time you had to attract attention, explain what it was and persuade them to sign.

Most were in groups of 2 or 3 adults and while they were signing it, on one clipboard, a lot of people missed out.

Many just took forms so maybe that turned into lots of signatures but there's nothing like names in the bank.

Yes to both!



I think we all experienced some of the difficulties you describe!

Sorry if I'm being thick but what exactky is the "event"?

See above!

Whats the thread name..

Quote ="Wakefield No 1"Whats the thread name.. '" Well I can't believe we're gathering to commemorate the date in 1970 when Anwar sadat was sworn in as president of Egypt or the day in 1933 that Albert Einstein arrived in the USA!! I've read the thread and it's not such a stupid question. I take it that there will be a stall of some sort in the Cathedral precinct. There may be tables and clipboards and I presume the aim is to get lots of sigs on the petition. Lots of posters seem to know what's happening but I don't! Oh what the =redEdit There's only one way to find out! Count me in I'll be there for the 10ish to 12ish shift (dependin on roadworks on M1 at Nottingham!) viewtopic.php?t=421878 =redBIGAL1.

Thank you for your effort.



I thought I had described the 'event' in my post above.

The event is in 3 parts really:
A day in the precinct canvassing for signatures
A chance for a photo-shoot etc to try and get our message across
A chance for 'something else' (shhhh - it's a secret!

)

With the community department helping between 10 and 1 we should have a good day.

Pray for good weather!

My apologies BIGAL.

Current forecast for Saturday :

Mostly cloudy with a 10% chance of rain, High 14, low 9.

Not too bad.

You couldn't make it up - and if you only knew the rollocking I had to dish out to get that printed!

Compared to the press release your gave them, they've left a fair whack out.

They claim they didn't get it - but everyone else did.

They then wrote an article based on me ringing them from work yesterday - which didn't make the final cut.

I rang this morning - and ranted somewhat - and that is the result - basically what they were going to print if it had made it.

Not happy!

The WAKEFIELD express is fast becomings joke with lazy journalism he must be a clown who edits it. Get the Evening Post it seems to be more supportive of better sporting facities in Wakefield

I can't seem to find it in the Normanton edition!!!

What I don't get it, bar the people who buy it to see who has died or been up in court, surely news from Belle Vue must be one of the big things which attracts people to buy the rag?

Maybe the club should give more info to other outlets rather than leaving 'exclusives' for the Express. Hit them where it hurts, starve them of the info they crave to sell papers.

WAKEFIELD EXPRESS = WASTE OF INK

The negative sensationalist stories of social decline in every corner of our area may sell papers but i honestly think the Wakefield Express is one of the single biggest factors in the decline of civic pride in the Wakefield area.

It's just a constant "drip-drip" of social fear and paranoia that echos almost of national socialism, if you tell the people to be scared, they'll be scared. Some of the recent headlines illustrate my case perfectly; The so called "sex bands", the skateboarders causing fear to residents, and what is it this week "sex for booze". How can people be proud to be citizens of Wakefield if that's how one of their most trusted papers portrays the city in the light they seem so keen on doing?

As much as i hate Leeds, at least their council inspire a bit of local pride, you cant move in Leeds for the "Leeds, live it, love it" campaign. Despite the demise of LUFC civic pride has never been higher, people are proud of being from Leeds and believe me Leeds has bigger social problems and worse areas by some way.

For the past few months i have thought that an alternative "independent" local paper could make a fortune with how many people are so disgruntled with the Wakefield Express. If you could get the RL fans i think the WE would consider that a dramatic loss.
