Great stuff. Next season's season ticket sales are based on today's result. A result that by the time next season kicks off will be about 6 months ago. If people are still smarting from today's result in 6 months time they really need to seek psychological help.

Forget this season. The whole point was to avoid the drop. Sure it would have been great to finish 9th or 10th but it didn't happen. Even if we had've it would have meant nothing more than 11th or 12th. I feel honoured to have been mentioned in the race for the 8 knowing that at the start of the season we had already been written off as certainties for the drop.

This season is done. We're still in Super League. Next season is another ride on the rollercoaster. Get your ticket!

Some supporters don't deserve to have a team to support because it is not the last game that counts but the fact that we survived to play in SL next season.
If you want constant success I sadly cannot recommend a team that wins every week even St Helens were defeated heavily by Catalan.

Exactly this sadly and also why some long standing supporters are also drifting away. What is our average attendance this year about 4k? It speaks volumes and i doubt that is going to change much next season in terms of season ticket sales i'm afraid. Even with the improvement we have seen under Webster we finished the season by losing 5 of our last 7 games, hardly a tempter. And the'we should be greatful to have a club' strapline ain't going to get them flooding through the gates either. Today alone might not be the sole reason why people don't sign up but it is part of the bigger problem.

About the length and breadth of things imo. Crap end to the season but under Webster we've been mighty impressive at times and beat some really good teams. A full off season and a few new faces to add to those we've already bought and hopefully Tim Smith being here from the start of the season, bring on 2015.

You might like 10000 people to buy season tickets but the facts will speak for themselves. This thread is about consistency. The lack of consistency (not whether we win or lose) will affect ST sales. I've not said I won't support Trinity - I really am "Wakefield 'til I die" - but I won't buy a Season ticket this year. My little, probably futile, protest if you like. That doesn't make me any less of a supporter just one with a different view to you.

All those that are throwing the teddy out of the pram should look at the bigger picture.
Starting 2015 with a more settled team and the prospect of a full pre season to prepare for 2015.

Although yesterdays performance was poor, Webster has P 12 W 6 D1 L5
including victories over Wigan, Leeds and Warrington, form which would see us comfortably in mid table
and finishing in the top 8.

So, take a step back and look at what the guy has done.
There are no guarantee's for next season, there never are, but it hacks me off when so many "supporters"
seem to want to give up after any small set back.

Get behind the Chairman, The Club, The Coach and The Team and roll on next season !

I'm not throwing my teddy out and probably never will. Already had my 2015 Season Ticket in my wallet (resisted the temptation of skimming it onto the pitch at half time

)

The fact is that floaters and nearlies will look at the latest form and results and make their decision based on that.
The fantastic feel good factor straight after the Salford victory has been sabotaged.

I agree the Hull KR game was aweful but to suggest that is the reason not to get season tickets is just ridiculous.
We've had a great run up to that point, and significantly, there was hardly any comment for the wins, but they stuff up once and we have people moaning again.
Not everyone can but a ST, so no problem with those not getting, but don't blame it on this one game.

My thoughts exactly




Get your season tickets bought to give our coach the best chance in the off season to further strengthen our squad. Speaking of consistency Leeds haven't had the best in recent weeks and can't see many loiners not renewing.

I am loud and proud to be a Trinity fan and cannot wait already for next season

Who you protesting against though?????

The team/club you "love 'til you die"??

The board who came in when nobody else wanted to and have been pretty open and honest from the start that they don't have millions to pump in??

The coach, who has come in and turned the team around from where they were. IMO he has done ok with what he has to work with (yesterday & 1st half vs Hudds at home aside?)??

As a Salford fan, I too know about inconsistency....

What I would say to fans of both our clubs is this:
1: We were both shocking 1st half of season and had it not been for Bradfords point deduction, everyone in SL would have had one of us joining Broncos, however, both teams put together remarkable runs in the latter stages and this is what gives me optimism for both squads in 2015
2: Flair play is definitely inside each squad, WTW absolutely destroyed Salford a couple of weekends ago, and apart from early season when Saints were on fire, no other team had done that to us (excluding the Wigan game at DW as the squad was riddled with a virus)... Ive seen Salford totally mesmerise many teams throughout the season, our problem has been final 20 minute brainfarts


Roll on 2015

Let's not forget that in our last few games we've played without Ryan, Scruton, Moore, Kirmond & Collis bar 2 games.

We've also had Ali, TT, Godinet and Anderson returning from lengthy injuries and therefore haven't been 100% match fit.

Part of the reason players have been missing is because the club has put next seasons goals ahead of the very slight chances we had of reaching the 8 this year.

We've announced some very good signings for next year, L Paea, Simon, Ashurst, Riley and Hall and it looks as though we've resigned Tim Smith.

There are reasons why Yesterday was poor but look beyond that to next season

I wasn't too bothered about the result yesterday, I was shocked that the game was so poor - I was bored..
However James Webster has shown enough for me to say that we will be better next season. We had many players out we were particularity light in the front row. We had 3 players who would have to play for long minutes and most likely carrying knocks. Things are looking better for next year and it looked like in James' pre-match conference that there is a few people we're waiting for replies from and he said that it looks confident.

Ridiculous over reaction even by the standards of this forum - usual suspects I notice.

Yes it was inept and for £20 I accept we did deserve better.

However to link this to season ticket sales is plain dumb or just malice - not sure which.

This season has seen us turn from the third maybe second worst team in the comp to what I would now call solid mid table. We now have a guy who at least appears to understand positions, tactics and motivation.

We look fairly solid for next year and this result has no bearing on that. Season ticket sales will remain solid, I intend to buy one for the first time since 2009. To throw your season ticket on the pitch or threaten not to buy one is both pathetic and childish - who exactly are you hurting?

We got rid of Agar, after being Cas whipping boys for the first 2 games we played them we very nearly put the record straight last week. We beat Leeds and Warrington plus a few more good scalps after getting rid of Agar (at last!).

Nothing is nailed on for next year and we must improve we really must - but there has been enough in the second part of this year to suggest that is possible if we ALL do our bit.

6 of them for me, Mathers, Sammut, Scruton, Tautai, Kirmond, and Ryan, I wonder if it had been televised Mr. Hemming's would have informed the viewing public that Wakefield were shorn of so many players as he has consistently made such a point with all the other clubs' throughout the season, perhaps not eh.

Vastman - I've had a season ticket for six of the last seven years. I have my reasons for not buying one next season - one of them being the lack of consistency over the SL era. I'm simply fed up of going to games and, coming away disappointed. I don't mind losing, I do mind brainfarts and dumb rugby. Anyway, according to you, not buying a ST makes me dumb or malicious or childish or pathetic. You on the other hand haven't bought a ST since 2009. Presumably you had your reasons for not buying one and presumably you weren't being dumb, malicious, childish or pathetic. We all support the club in our own ways. Posters on this forum forget you are a small minority of Trinity supporters. Instead of the insults against long standing supporters you might use your time trying to persuade the 3500 fans we seem to have lost this season

I had a season ticket for donkeys years, no one or anything would have stopped me from getting one. I sold lottery tickets from the office in Kirkgate, spent my commission in the shop even organised my wedding so I could watch us play St Helens away.
Things change, but I can never remember the team building process landing at the might buy a season ticket brigade. If you want one you will get one. If and only if Wakey put a good team on the field will the walk ins attend and pay £22.
Im a bit sick of the buy one because excuses.

Nobody can force anyone else to purchase a season ticket.
However, bemoaning Wakefield's lack of consistency over the SL era seems a strange reason to stop buying.
Apart from a brief incursion into the top 6 (together with a fall in the play off game against Les Cats), we have
bee a bottom half of SL club and we have come close to extinction (twice).
Right now, although supporter numbers are a long way short of the inflated numbers during the Glover reign,
the
Club appears to have some stability, a reasonable coach and a committed (if small) management team.
In order to prosper, we need people like your self to renew your ticket and if possible, encourage one or 2
of our "floating" fans to sign up as well.

As I said, nobody can (or will) force you to come but, the future looks better than it has done for some time, again,
excluding the Glover "fantasy" era.

Keep the faith (if your nerves and blood pressure can stand it)

Nobody needs to force me to come. I've supported Trinity for 50 years and won't stop now. I'm just not buying a season ticket.

No one is a lesser supporter for not buying a season ticket. If you attend games you invest more if you don't buy, it just comes later.

The only issue on this thread, is the people saying they are not buying solely because of yesterday's performance. That seems wrong to me, but if there are other reasons then so be it.

I haven't bought mine yet.

I'd also add that I've been watching for 40 years man and boy. The complaints about the team are no different now to those of the previous decades.
Even the great team that went to Wembley were inconsistent. That's life for a poor club that can't have a big squad of superstars. You work with what you have and a small squad has off days and you don't have anyone at the same level to spell the ones not performing.
I'd suggest either accept it and enjoy the highs we have or support a Leeds or Wigan. There aren't many other options.

I'm a bit sick of the won't buy one brigade, because it's those people that are making the excuses' not buy one brigade as you call us, I couldn't give a stuff if people don't buy them for whatever excuse but please don't criticise us that do.

No team in Superleague has been consistent this year ! That is why there has been no runaway leader or obvious winner of the league leaders trophy until the last matches of the season.

People have a choice when it comes to season ticket purchase, should I or shouldn't I . It then comes down to the number of games you can attend aand if you prefer to pay your 22 quid or or not. Didn't realise we had a committee judging whats an excuse or not.
You can take my post as ou like but I didn't mean it to be critical of people who do buy them. If you don't give a stuff little need to comment.

Perhaps you feel that because you've had a season ticket donkey's years and you've done this that and tuther for the club la de da de da it means it automatically gives you the edge over the rest of us making your sarcastic opinion right and giving you licence to talk down to the fans' that prefer to buy, as for a committee we would struggle to agree on a poster to win the Mr. negativity title' so many to choose from, perhaps if you won it you could add it to your ever expanding WTW portfolio.
