Ok, we have collected according to the 'dones' we have collected 18 of the 23 donations promised (that's my calculation)

That's very good and thanks to all. If we could have the other five by the end of the week that would be great.

One poster had the same issue I did, when you do a bank transfer it notifies you it not a verified account. I suspect that's because it's just been set up but I will ask MC.

I accepted it anyway and it seemed to go through ok but I fully understand if you're nervous. I'll also get the details so you can send it through as a cheque if you wish (not cash though).

Be back soon.

Sorry Vasty, will pay mine when I (finally) get paid....

That's fine, cheers

Paid the £25

Cheers for sorting. It's a great idea.

I got the same message.
As long as it goes to the right place I'm ok with that. Maybe just ask MC to confirm he's getting the transfers.

Paid

Awaiting a response but might not be today.

Sorry - totally slipped my mind - just paid it! #WTID

Paid.

I can see this as a waste of time and money, you've got to have a product to promote and if you don't it's just going to fail

It's not really taking up any time from anyone bar Vastman and it's not compulsory to donate so I don't see a problem.

BTW Vastman my £25 payment went through in the end so tick me off the list please or put me on it, whichever.

Don't do that Snowie. I thought you were better than that.
If you don't want to join in by all means don't but don't patronise those trying to make a small difference.

Thanks for your support mate.

I'll let you know into a bit of insight when the club shouted out for an engineer to help with the stadium issues I called down out of curiosity to see how serious it was, after talking to Neil who was helping with the health and safety we had a walk round and we discussed ways to get this sorted over the months, I personally spent a hell of a lot a time after doing my shifts at work prepping sometimes in the ing rain under sheeting with the van doors open for weekend work where others joined me to get this resolved taking time off work too to oversee testing on the barriers.
I did this because I loved the club and still do but they was in a financial mess, in return me and Neil was offered a chance to set up the brewery in the corner and verbally negotiated rent which wasn't over the top but gave us the opportunity in which we was grateful for, however we had said the waste skips needed moving and it was promised but it was then left to us at cost £500 to do this as well as the cost of altering the building too suit needs.
one thing I didn't get was a decent electric rate and we recon every brew was costing us £25-£30 we did over 100 brews so work that out, this was reduced after talking to Chris explain I was struggling to continue paying such a high rate, on match days we even helped out in the bar saving on staff wages unpaid and the club took a percentage on our pints sold.
there's no bitterness in what I wrote but the club are not in the same mess as they were and it should be up to them now to promote them selves without the need of fans having doing it.
I am not patronizing anyone Poptart and if you want to contribute by all means do but I think I contributed enough in the past years or so to at least have an opinion and if you think the past performances of the last two years are going to promote new custom then so be it

you're welcome BG

That's fair enough Snowie what you have put above.
But as I didnt know that and was basing my reply to your post, maybe it might have been better to have pointed that out first.


Cheers

that's kind of besides the point the reason for the post is stating the product isn't working right now so how can you promote to new and old fans to bring them in when it's become same old

Not sure why that has anything to do with a group of people wanting to help the club with some basic marketing.
If you don't believe it will work, why say anything at all?

because BG said thanks for the support in which I think I have in more ways than one, what you want for those who see a problem to just say nothing

well that will work won't it

As I said. I've no idea what you've done for the club in the past.
I, like others, are trying to help the club now.
If you want to pm me a list of everything you've done feel free.
I'm sure that you will have helped out the club in the past and well done for that.

What's the problem with what we are doing?

You clearly are bitter. That’s your choice but why discourage others. I’ll tell you right now Snowie much as I applaud your efforts I can tell you now I’ve been doing work for the club since 1989 and I can guarantee I’ve put more hours in than you. I can also guarantee that I’ve been let down by the club more times than you!

But the club is not the people who run it, you should know that, same as the shambles of a team we now have does not represent every Trinity team.

We as real supporters have to rise above all that. We do what we can when we can and if the club thinks this will help so be it.

Personally after Thursday I have reservations that now is the time. However all this was done in good faith and we have no choice but to carry it through.

It may be a bad time to do it unless we rally in the next few weeks but to have a pop at others for trying and then following it up with a load of unconnected spite baffles me.

Why not just leave it, nobody is forcing you.

Shame really, I had big hopes that you might help us out with a potential project in the future, I suppose that’s another one off my list

Done.

I've driven through the centre a handful of times in the last 2 weeks and each time I've seen Wakefield AFC advertising on the new digital boards - there's one in the car park across from Wilkos and one at the roundabout where Charlie Browns was.

No idea how much that would cost though.

You read into it what ever you want but i can tell you your wrong again on your assumptions, at least your savy enough to know now is not the right time to promote them but now Its been two years of the same crap results

There is far more to marketing than just telling people to come and watch a winning team.
In fact that is exactly the point.
If we were winning we wouldn't need to encourage people quite so much.

For me I'd target the weekend we can get fans back in. I'd put out the videos of TJs tries on social media and I'd do the mail drop encouraging people of Wakefield to get down and watch.... Implying that could make the difference for the win.
