see you still got a good supply of lemons

If anybody has the right to moan it's you scarlet luv, despite all your business acumen, your unique man management skills, plus your undoubted talent spotting skills, not to mention the thirty years you've sat on your fat @rse sitting in the stand coaching the players the chairman must be a complete idiot to completely ignore your worthwhile input, it must be so frustrating when you offer such a range of advice from the obvious qualities you have in your possession, I for one have every sympathy for you shame on him

He said on Twitter a short while since that we had 8/9 signed up and possibly 3 more to sign on the dotted line.

If only life was as predictable as you.

I have nothing against those running the club but until they show they have learnt from last season and are not again trying to do it on the cheap. I reserve the right to continue to highlight their shortcomings which many of you appear to forget or ignore still blinded by our survival.
How many of you would accept a further season ticket increase if this was Ted or Glover in charge and how many clubs do not have a payment plan. This is not a time to ask people to pay out over £200.00 and will do nothing to encourage new supporters just the usual on here and those on MC's Twitter account.
When I see something that shows we are actually serious about being competitive next season then I will be the first to congratulate the club but currently I am still waiting. I know you will say our new coach but he can only work with what is put in front of him and let's not forget with last season's squad that was only one game against SL opposition.
Does anyone know what our current squad looks like, don't forget we still have Howarth on the books next season.

Give it a rest mate especially on the season tickets or buy the club and put your own strategies in place I understand its available fo a quid. Give it a go. All the clubs aee flogging tickets I accept that some if not all will have payment plans. Its easy if you dont want to pay up front pay on the gate or get a 0% credit card its really not difficult

Ditto you troll.

Evidence would suggest otherwise.

You'll have a hard time trying to convince anyone there, how do you know they have not learned from last season? more guesswork from you perhaps! you've already laboured the point about your opinions of the owners, but why do you insult the rest of us who might agree with you to some extent but do not take your hard line stance on the chairman.

Not sure of the point you are trying to make comparing this chairman with the previous two, it's like trying to compare apples with oranges, I would suggest that the increase in prices will have a lot to do with new contracts for the players coming in and other increases, I do agree though that the club could have put in place an instalment plan, but there must be a reason for this so why make a big deal of it if you don't know the full circumstances, as for how many other clubs don't have a payment plan in place, my answer to that is I neither know or even care, ask me one on pop music.

Your starting to repeat yourself here scarlet luv, nowt new there though. I'm not going to argue over the new coach and the new signings eventually coming in as I'm sure he'll work well with what he's got, but hey ho if you want to continue living in the past if it's what turns you on then you go for it dear, Your getting a tad silly now asking supporters if they know what the squad looks like, and as for Howarth I'm not sure if he'll be just a squad player without doing him a disservice, but I'm sure that when he's asked to play he'll not let the club down, unlike you luv.

Unless I'm very much mistaken the season ticket prices are less than last year not more, but don't let that get in the way of your character assassinations. Admittedly for some, the lack of a payment plan may be an issue but without knowing how many issues the cub had with people on payment plans last year then it's hard to say whether that is the right decision or not.

MC stated on twitter that the Limited company that runs the club could not get a consumer credit licence hence no payment plan.

There you go scarlet, a sad yet simple answer, shame it does not fit in with your greater plans to ridicule and sully his name at every opportunity.

Don't know what your problem is this timeScarlett. Last year I agreed with all your points - for example I wasn't happy with the risk MC took with BOI but it paid off and quite rightly I ate some humble pie. With regards to recruitment wait for the lineup for round 1 before having ago.

why do you think he is a good coach how many games as he won as a coach and how many at wakefield

Won what we needed to win any how mum says its your bed time

I take it you haven't bought your season ticket yet?

I will try again to post but a word of warning don't use an I-pad because when you are in full flow it cut outs.
I have concerns which I think deep down many do but I hope that the lessens of last season turn out to be a positive. I am sure that no one at the club will want to go through that again with all the problems it brings. I accept that we will probably be in the bottom 4 again but the important thing is that the team play to 100% every game and we at least show we are not the easy beats we were perceived to be this season.
I know the squad will not have the big names like many others but wasn't that always the way with Wakefield. The difference was we had spirit which would not let us lose by 40 points every game and I hope B Smith can reinstate that in the current squad.
We will never be a Leeds or Wigan but being Wakefield supporters we don't expect us to be, so even the smallest victory means a lot to us. We are not arrogant enough to believe we will we can hope but just being competitive and not giving up after half the season is all we demand.
I expect in Brian Smith we will have a coach who can bring the work ethos back and would never admit in private or public that the season is over, not the best selling point for supporters.
I believe the squad needs a couple of flair players and another centre but at least we have tried to boost the speed of our back line. It is not good when a winger intercepts a pass and he is caught within 20 yards.
I will not be buying a season ticket not for any other reason than I miss too many games to make it economical for me. I will not be buying a shirt, however it looks because my physique and the Macron sizing are a complete mis match.
I will give MC credit for knowing that the Algarve is the finest holiday destination. We may not agree on the golf courses, I prefer those at Quinta over Villamoura but I suppose that is down to personal preference must like the squad we put together.

All most Wakey fans want is pride and effort shown by the players, that's the problem with last season.
I have no idea what went on at the club but the whole place was a depressing place to be, with just one problem after another. God knows what Brian Smith thought when he walked through the doors . It seemed that all respect from many of the players had evaporated and going through the motions was a culture .
NEXT SEASON will start with a squad of players who will provide effort and improve. Its still interesting how some of the squad still haven't played for B Smith and others have only played a couple of games. The whole culture of the club will change and only players that buy in to the process will stay.
Wakey fans in my view are up for a season to remember for all the right reasons, and will clearly see a club at long last on the up.
I would not be surprised if we manage the top 8 and im absolutely sure that will be the target .

Well put, Lampboy

Top 8, after being tailed off in the wooden spoon position would be a massive turn around and may well be beyond us.
But, if we are competitive in every game and the squad play as a team (which they did under Smiths charge last season, apart from the Sheffield game), then, who knows.
We till have some more players to come in and who knows where we will finish.
You can easily predict who the top 6 clubs will be but, the other 6 can finish in pretty much any order in the lower half of the league.
Both Hull clubs, ourselves, Salford, Widnes and Catalan will very likely fill 7-12 in the table and depending on form and injuries, we could scrape into he top 8 but, next season is about getting some stability and competing.

Targeting the top 8 is just a ridiculous goal.

Staying out of that bloody MPG will do me for next season!!

Anthony England, Sean Morris, Liam Finn, Ashley Gibson, Ben Shulver

They are all decent signings. The best thing about it for me is that we have managed to get rid of 3/4 high earning Aussies in Kevin Locke, Tim Smith, Dean Collis & Ali Lauitiiti - & replaced them with British players that are here to prove a point.

In my opinion it's all about being competitive more than getting in the top 8, if we can be competitive as Hull KR were last season then beating the Championship clubs shouldn't be out of our reach. Although I'd much rather not be in that position.

With the squad so far assembled will we win more than the 3 games we won last year - we will get wooden spoon that's locked in

Leigh have a much better squad than our on paper already - I know only on paper but they will be beating us in the super 8's

at least they are trying to get better!! we re just doing the same thing year after year !!!

On paper Leigh and among the pundits were going to be in Super League next season

It's a shame for them Les

but never mind hey.

it just shows what the pundits know. it will be interesting to see what they think for Super League 2016. i think it will be a lot tighter competition and may throw up one or two surprise's. 2 of last seasons top 8 finishers may be battling it out in the mid eights at the end of the season.
