Great effort by the team, great support by the (depleted) support.
We now need to help the management get the off field situation right.
I like many others have have big concerns about the management of the club, but I'm going to the meeting hoping that I'm going to here something that will convince me the club is finally in good hands and that wrongs will be righted.

Well we keep getting knocked down and keep getting back up and why we keep getting up off the floor I cant give you the answer it must be something in the Wakey water system.I have even put some of the badges back on my cap from years ago when in the second division and some of those names have gone -Hyton -Cardiff City blue dragons even though I cant make it due to work lets not let this club go the same way.
Gone for ever - never never ever.

So will James Elston be there?

The details have not been finalised yet.

I'm sure elston reads this forum and he's had a rough time recently (maybe deserved). Many like I have criticised probably without knowing full facts but fair play to the bloke seen him there today in club colours working hard when he probably knows he's getting slated left right and centre. Takes some balls that so well done to him for that one

if there is 4k true supporters like me what about putting a extra 100£ on top of season tickets as we pay over 8 months ,whats a extra 13£ a month,
any true fan would pay this and i think it would be a very big help

extra 100£ by 4k fans and thats 400k

Can't it be made a sticky by site admin up to next Monday?

Hi FT
I agree it would be a good idea...........but I don't know how to do it being a newbie.
I've asked the other mods to have a look at it

PT

Praise a man for doing a job he's paid to do? Leave it out.

Please un-sticky this thread.

It does not get noticed at the top of the page!

Done

Cheers Al.

We have a meeting today and hope to start revealing details for the meeting shortly.

For those that can afford, just buy the new platinum membership.
It's also worth noting that many of our fans are concessions and juniors and they just haven't got the brass to pay extra.

It's rediculous to think 4000 fans will pay an extra £100 quid, also ludicrous to have a 10yr season ticket.

Not enough people will do it.

Waste of time.

If you need a hand on the night with anything just shout.

Yep. Or have families that need looking after or are struggling as it is. There is more to life than Wakefield Trinity i'm afraid and it isn't just as simple as 'just pay an extra £100'. Many are highly likely to already be paying as much as they can afford.

Do you want a superleague club keeps getting, rather patronisingly, asked? Yes of course would be the answer from all, but not at the expense of struggling elsewhere in life. Times are tough and many of the 4k season ticket holders just can't afford to pay extra and those who think they should anyway are living on a different planet i'm afraid. People will do what they can but without extra external investment we are peeing into the wind.

Well thanks for the input

But all we are doing is suggesting things to try and get some cash into the club so that we still have a team to watch no matter which division it will be in.

If the club run some copies of the Cas game off I don't mind hawking them at the meeting

Cheers Squire!

All good points.

I think we have to be careful and try avoid the guilt tripping we rightly pulled Bradford up on during their crisis last year. If you have a spare few quid around to throw at a business, well done, but don't try to act as a class above those who have other expenses of greater need than a badly run business. Those who made the mess, are they digging deep as others are asked to?

Theboyem has it spot on. We need a massive external investor, we're just throwing money down the drain without it. Unpalatable as that may be, it's the truth.

Please hold your water until Monday. We have no intention of throwing anyones money down any drain.

We are also very conscious of the fact that what people can afford will vary hugely across our fan base, but the truth is that the club need money and the more that can be put in the better the club will be to perform on and off the pitch!

So is the meeting free to enter?
Or pay on the door?
Or by Donation?
I presume you will be having a raffle? Auction? Pie+Peas?
DVDs? Programs? and merchandise for sale?
Every penny counts!

Free to enter, we need as many supporters as possible to turn up to this meeting.

As TRB said earlier, final details are still being discussed but if you can make it, then please do. It is vitally important!
