My bad.

Feel the same mate. I'm 50 now and, much as I love Trinity, I have to ask myself how much more of my time and money I am prepared to put into a club that seems chronically to attract idiots and incompetents. If I assess the chances we have had, I think the best one was when David Garthwaite was at the helm and wanted to take us to Pugneys. I think he genuinely would have taken us forward as a club but sadly the fans were not on board with that. Apart from that, we have been mismanaged for 40+ years and here we are again

We could do with some help and support from David, he's a smart bloke.

I think Ted's early years weren't that bad. The Pearman saga and then his Sainsbury's loss really upset the applecart.

Think we all might feel a lot better after this meeting, not saying its all going to be great by a long way which we all know that, well them who understand what we are up against, but we will have a club to follow next year and thats not bad, things will get better in years to come, just had a word with Mystic Meg and she told me, we must put our trust in Ned Carter and is gang

Moving to a new stadium at Pugneys was that the early 80s it would have been an excellent place for a new stadium, shame it never happened.

I've got more faith in you Baz

Its in the stars, crystal ball time, wakey's time

I after agree i got three tats to this great club i been supporting since i can remember im actully in the book when shove come to push celebratin winning try v wigan and i yet again find myself losing sleep with worry if i got a team to support not only that my two boys are fans cos of me too and my 8year old is a very promising player who only dreams of playing for wakey.......but i findin it hard now all i ask is a team challenge for play off nothin more and when we sell our best plsyers plsyers who want to be here as i believe DK PA DC BC etc want to be here and we play a bit psrt team and get smashed every week well iy not enjoable

I got cut off before I got chance to say anything! I was told to expect some more questions!!!

Is this a coded message?

Wasn't the proposed move to Pugneys a council initiative? I think it was at the time WMDC were prepared to move heaven and earth to accommodate Yorkshire CCC, on a massive site incorporating a new ground for us BUT Yorkshire CCC were held to a lease they had recently signed for Headingley. I don't know of a Trinity fan who was against it - it would have been our saviour years ago and a far better location than Newmarket!

Two different locations here mate. Pugneys was well before the Cricket Ground proposal at Durkar.

I can never understand this walking away option. I understand the depression and frustration of being a Wakey supporter but would [unever[/u pack in.

The club has to accept that not everyone is the same and can continually put up with the promises year in year out of 3 year plans etc etc. It is very draining...

This ^^^^^

Most important thing for me is that I have a club to support. Prefer it to be challenging for top honours but if it' s in the Championship and thriving that's fine. I could never walk away, it's just not possible.

This

It certainly is and I doubt there isn't one of us who haven't thought about giving it up - some will some won't.

We have to try and retain as many fans as possible and build again from there, but clearly it matters not what we do on the pitch if we get it so wrong off it.

We have made a lot of new friends along the past couple of years, for those it will be a challenge to persuade them that this is worth continuing. For those of us here before then, this is nothing new and, in comparison to some previous situations, this could be just a scratch, but that is dependant on many things from here!

In essence it is up to each of us to decide if we feel that the ride is worth it, if we do (and my seat-belt is jammed on), then we have to decide what we are prepared to part with to help things along - time / money / expertise etc - they all come into the equation.

Looking forward to Monday - to allow the club to answer some of the burning questions and to map out the route for a sustainable, fan involved, future for our great club!

I unfortunately can't be there on Monday TRB but I'm available in future if willing foot soldiers are needed!

Top man!

Moving to Pugneys was actually Trevor Woodwards idea, he was roundly booooood and chased out of the City.
David Garthwaite is a great Trinity fan and has a history that stretches way back for about 50 years, he might just be too good of a businessman to get involved.

David always said he would not be involved while Ted was around.
Thinks may be different now and he has lots of contacts.

He said also tighter than a gnatts chuff pipe.

As previously pointed out Pugneys and Junction 39 (cricket stadium) were 2 different issues, IIRC Asda wanted to build at BV and the stium would have been where the ASDA is now but the COUNCIL blocked it and the whole thing fell through.

The Cricket saga was basically smoke and mirrors with Yorks CCC and Leeds re Headingley it could have happened but was never likely and obviously didnt materialise as funding from Leeds City council was put into Headingley.
