It's OK coming out with these type of statements but at the end of the day we still have Agar in charge.

Very good statement. I think Glover did well with what skills he had, but maybe he was too much of a double-glazing salesman, in that everything was always great and big news being announced.

That's an excellent statement and although AG has my utmost thanks for what he did , the change has come at the right time.
I will now buy a ticket. Had there not been such a good statement I probably wouldn't have bought one.

That's just what we wanted an open and honest statement.

Clearly we are in a hole and now is the time to back Michael Carter and the Club. We as a Super League Club must have suffered more adversity than most but are still here. We will not go away.

We all need to support the Club in it's darkest hour but remember the darkest hour is just before dawn. I'm sure we are all feeling down at the moment but I'm sure we will come out of this stronger.

Hopefully the Club will now believe that TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER rather than just giving it lip service.

Glover has done an excellent job and there is no amount of gratitude that can overstate that thanks that are due to him.
However, it does feel that we have gone back in time 2 years.

Would it not be a good time to have a share issue again to raise funds?

Get the foxy bingo thing pushed to the max paying the tenner for people to sign up to get the 50 from foxy

Two ways of bringing in much needed cash

Maybe he didn't have the right people around him?

happy to hear the club respond in the statement today but would of liked a bit more openness earlier as I'd like to think we could of stopped the autumn sale

for me if more players are going let us know now and why

Heard this morning that JE has been moved down form CEO but still has a job at WTW. A few other things (don't shoot the messenger because I don't know to believe them or not) :-

1. WTW went into administration Friday morning - the sale of TS as held this off.
2. The players union (headed by John Wilkin) are involved and it looks like potential signings and those allready signed for next year have been put on hold.
3. Some of the current playing staff have not accepted the 15% pay cut - again this is been fought for by the players union.
4. The RFL has forwarded WTW with a loan of the sky monies from next season to the tune of 170K.

We don't need a 50k cheerleading wife in the club that will help save something.

Don't be too hasty, she might be the only thing worth watching next season!

Well we've never had one, its simply not true.

How about the £500 a time dancers? Most expensive match day lay out I'm told.

Good luck to Michael. Picked well with Chris. Have had dealings with him a lot over the years. Calls it how it is and is nobodies fool. Will not spend what we don't have!

Some of you may remember me spitting my dummy out after the last round of licensing and I took my petty vengeance out on your club because of your then recent financial meltdown.

However I have been incredibly surprised by how Wakefield have gone about their business and especially the tremendous increase in attendances. This statement is an honest assessment of life in SL and the hardships and challenges faced by clubs without sugar daddies. I applaud the honesty and I was definitely wrong in my 2010 rantings.

Good luck Wakefield. You are in SL for a reason and I hope the locals come out and give you the support you deserve.

Cheers Rich

There always seems to be hundreds of the buggers as well. If we're paying that much, I'd expect them to be much better!

I am curious though as to how the "Wildcat Dolls" is run. If you follow their twitter feeds they do quite a lot of gigs & promotion work outside the club. Is it run as a seperate self-funding business or does the club see any profit from this worK? Are they actually employed by the club?

The dolls don't belong to the club, its a seperate business owned by SE, but we do pay for them to dance on matchday, i hear its £400 but can't confirm this.

So if SE is working with/for them during Trinity hours she's on a nice little earner.

Cheers, seems like a missed trick there for the club.

Honesty is the only way to go and that is the right direction as for selling Tim Smith if we have got the right money and have someone lined up then that could be for the best.Lets face it Smith can open things up with some of the best but at other times plays like an average joe plus his one on one defence is very poor.We must have another player lined up or we could be one of the clubs going down but why if money is tight do we give Ali another year.Yes hes been a great player but with age etc we will get less game time from him and we are over blessed with second rowers.

As a box holder I have just paid for next year to try and help the club. We need as supporters to do as much as we can. When Bradford were in dire straights the fans got together and came up with loads of fundraising ideas which in turn helped the club. My first thoughts are a sponsored walk from Castleford to Wakefield Sunday 8th anyone interested?

Also I liked the £50 x 1000 idea I would be the first to put £50 in is there anyone else out there willing to do the same.

I know times are tough for us all and if at the very least members buy their season tickets early the additional funding with help the club we love.

They may be rubbish at time and there may be decisions we don't like but as I say "they may be rubbish but they are my rubbish"-
