er except we didint pay the big name signings they all scarpered! this is a tax bil incurred during paying dross to play like donkeys!

Pretty true there !! Will probably be PAYE

The playing side is a different issue though. If the team had coped better with losing Brough and fought a bit harder, would we be so down on the club? This tax thing would be an unexpected annoyance if we had got into the top eight on the back of spirited performances. Because people are hacked off with the performances on the field, people are having a go at the club for whatever happens off it too, even if there are good reasons for it.

I agree that there might have been a bit more money in the coffers if there had been a more marketable ticketing strategy, rather than just shoving the price up, or if the shirts had been worth buying, but we've always walked a financial tightrope.

yup thats my guess too and frankly some of the other thoughts im having based on experience im hoping are wrong, but seen the recurring paye one before im afraid.

What about VAT.

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

Big Al do you remember this exchange

Sorry to hear about your current circumstance . No . Really . I am .

But with this going on how do you think it will affect the new ground/groundshare debate ?
If things are as bad as they appear I guess going alone will be out of the question .

Fortunety the new stadium isn't anything to do with Trinity, other than them being tenants, so it should have no bearing on what happens in October. If Trinity are wound up a new club will probably be formed in the lower divisions and operate out of the new stadium until they can get to a position where they could apply for a license.

Calm down dear its just a winding up order. We have had them before its business as usual, its the Trinity way

*Nervous laugh*

Sorry but after getting into difficulties with the tax man last year, there can be no excuse for it happening again.

Its a good job Tronc, Brough and Newton left so early in the season otherwise we would have been up crap creek. This makes the decision to bring Cooke in even worse.

As they don't put any money in anyway, even if there is no new investment found the current BOD need to go as far away from Wakefield Trinity as possible (assuming after yet more mismanagement on their part, we still have a club). Barring the odd highlight, this club has become a joke under their stewardship.

Franchise for 2012 - sorry but this on top of everything else, I just can't see it.

Thanks for that . Wasn't sure what the arrangement was . A new big stadium won't be cheap to rent . Would be hard enough with the current support . Almost impossible if you end up re-forming and playing in a lower league ( less home , and less visiting fans , cheaper entrance etc ). Could be difficult times ahead . Personally I would rather come visit you at your current home . I know (don't we all?) that it ain't the biggest poshest place around , but at least it has real character and an atmosphere .

it might not be sl we can say good bye to but the club aswell

nobody will believe you

no they wont and no doubt i will be sl***ed off for saying it too as to some every thing is perfect about the club-NOT

as for the winding up order it says the hearing is for the 22nd of sept does that mean thats when we would/could be wound up or is that where the tax man finds out if he can go for a winding up order?

not liking some things i'm hearing from some quarters, brace yourselves if true

For general consumtion or is it PM stuff ?

It's heard on that day and should be settled then, it's only in extreme circumstances it will be carried on.
Although I don't really foresee any problems. If the club are currently keeping up with existing payments then another arrangement will be made. So one effect we will probably see is a tightening of the playing budget for next season"living within the means". You never know it's a bit like when JK first arrived, written off, favorites for the bottom, we may find that old spirit back and give the old girl a good send off. Thing is if we do start winning with a shoestring team then the coffers and spirits will look a little rosier.

load of rubbish. danny was recalled and if he hadn't have been it would have been a good move by the club when he is not needed to save us paying his wages. the last i earned he was having a good moan because they hadn't played him against the french when he could have gone out mad monday with all the rest of the boys from wakey. straight from the horses mouth. danny had a great time at wakey, really enjoyed it and has nothing but good to say about the place. sorry if this disappoints you

Maybe if the OPP for the Stadium had been heard and passed, this would not be seen as such a big issue, why it has been set for 22 October when it originally went in in Feb and was due to be heard in Sept is also a cause for concern. Maybe Cllr Box was aware of our issues with the tax man and thought that by it being set back still further, this might finally kill us off.

The other concern is what happens to people like me who have paid up front for a season ticket? If the club is wound up I presume we can kiss goodbye to our money? I also suspect that this is yet another reason why some fans will not be in a rush to renew their season tickets at the moment (afterall, you would be worried about loosing the cash).

The fact the club knew about this issue in July but have started selling tickets for next year, does not seem quite right to me.

correct,

in light of the news that has come to light I'm going to hold back to the maximum date which is 30th Sept before thinking of splashing out £350 for a family season ticket,

this once happened to me before in purchasing a suite, I payed cash on the Sat only for a news announcement to be made on the Mon that the store had gone into receivership,
I still got my goods but it was poorly served, this taught me to use visa as you are covered to claim for instances like this,

it gives me no pleasure in not helping the club in their hour of need, but I am ready to watch unknown players at the same price rather than the ones we have had holding their hand out sapping the club dry and then putting in inept performances

im a little worried about buying a season ticket now

This is exactly my point and I don't blame you. The problem for the club is they may in some respects be relying on the early ticket money to keep going.

It should never have come to this. More prudence was required after last years close shave and the sale of Ryan Atkins to cover the debt.

So your passion for the club is equivalent to that for your settee?



You will still get your goods - just as you did last time. And if it helps - pay with your visa!
