| This is what i just posted on the Giants board.
Quote PONNER wrote:There's some great blokes I've met on here that are Wakey fans who I feel sorry for, but although there's Wakey tosspots trying to have a go at our club for helping them out by taking a player off their hands I'd still like to see Wakey carry on in SL, new stadium or not.'"
I agree with you one hundred percent. I could never undertstand the views of some of our posters who seemed so vehemently anti wakefield.. I was not on the messageboards when we were having our bad times so did not understand where all the hostility came from. yet after the last couple of days i can now understand it.
I have always tried to manage what were the worst excesses and the number of PMs i have had from our posters since starting to be a mod accusing me of being "pro wakefield" or "cosying up to my wakefield friends" was riduculous. even when raising money for the Adam Watene fund people had a go.
But after reading all the crap over the last couple of days on their site having a go at the Giants, Ken Davy or whoever was too much. If this is a only a % of what crap Giants had to put up with from some of the anti huddersfield brigade i can now understand why some of our posters hate Wakey with a vengeance.
I will not go down that route because i have met some great Wakey fans ( spent ages talking to two of them at Cardiff last week) but it has now got to the stage where i agree with ivor

=#FF0000=#FF0000=#FF0000Having just read some of the disgusting garbage on the Wakey board about us vulturing their juniors, it makes me want the worst for Wakey. I really can't be bothered any more with them. '"
When someone as reasonable and as knowledgable as Ivor feels like that how can you disagree.
As far as i am concerned now they are on their own sod them . I wonder whether it was worth the hassle i have had in the past.
Good luck to the decent Wakey fans they deserve better than they have got . as for the rest ( i will refrain from saying what i really want to.)

Your gripe is with the old wakey board and the RFL.
I have sympathy for you and your club as we have been there and were 1 game away from going to the wall but the more I hear how it's Huddersfields fault and the more my patience is tested.
I hope Wakefield survive cos the RFL and SL will be a worse place without them.
With regards to Ferguson if we had not signed him anyone of the other 12 SL clubs would have, he is not locked up screaming to get out, he came of his own accord after he was made available by the administrators and we agreed terms with him.
Good Luck WWRFLC'"
Spot on Mate.
All anger and dismay should be directed in the main at Ted and his cronies.

Ted has left us on a cliff edge hanging by our finger nails, the RFL and a few clubs are collectively standing on our fingers when we might reasonably expect a helping hand.

That is what is making us so ****** angry.
It is posters on your board who are commenting on agents and the administrators touting players and possibly players themselves.
WTF would you expect the Giants to say no to DF and let him go to Leeds or Cas or say if he is available yes we wil take him if he wants to agree terms.
I am certain the Giants would have been happy to look at loaning you players but some of your posters have done anything to engender any good feeling.

The problem is a lot of Wakefield fans are 'lashing out' borne out of frustration and lack of updates.
Its a terrible time to be a Wakey fan at the moment and I while I dont agree with lashing out at other clubs
(and certainly not their supporters) you must have a slight idea why.
Don't take it personally, and don't let it bother you.
Its a very sad time.

Agreed. Hide it away somewhere.
To Hudds fans, don't get drawn in. It is not a majority view.

| Of course it's not Shudds/Hull/Catalans/Quins(?) fault we are in the situation we are in...we all know the reason why we are in this situation.....however, put yourselves in our position...your club is on the brink of going belly-up, and the only asset you have left is the players, but there is an investor who is trying his best to arrange a purchase of the club, and the vultures then swoop... Ermm, right we'll have Brough, Brown, Cudjoe and Lunt....£50 enough Mr Administrator ?...fine....Leeds can have Grix, McGillvary and Lawrence for £10 each....Saints can have.....etc etc etc...(Cas can have the burger van !!!).
How would you feel ???

We understand it only too well but when the administrator is saying this
Quote =#FF0000O’Hara said the sale of players could be avoided if a take-over was completed – and he admitted the decision of a previous prospective owner – Steve Parkin – not to go ahead had contributed to the departures of Obst and Ferguson.
He stressed: “I have got to get the best possible price.
“I have no wish to decimate the club.
“If Mr Glover had conducted himself professionally, or a deal had been done with Mr Parkin when we came out of court on Friday, he could kept who he wanted and done what he wanted.
“He (Glover) has not told me who he wants to keep and who he wants to go. There’s over 30 people on the pay role, non-playing people – at enormous cost.
“And at the moment I still don’t know what the players are entitled to, in terms of bonuses.
“Nobody has come up with any money at all.
“=#0000FFAt the moment costs are clocking up and wages have got to be found from somewhere, let alone finding any money for creditors.
“If players go that reduces the wage bill, which has been the basis of the club’s demise.“If I don’t make these cuts, whoever buys it is going to have to have deep pockets.”'" '"
It seems that the selling of players at the minute that is all that is stopping you going from Administration to extiction.
No one wants that to happen . I would like Wakey to survive. In reality i think that the best you can hope for is a period of rebuilding in NL1. If it is as bad as O,Haras are suggesting it would seem that selling some players now is to help make sure that you do not end up in a worse position in a few weeks.

| Yes things are in limbo at the moment, and we are all very frustrated understandably, but do you really expect us to be grateful to you for helping strip all our assets ????
What do you want next...the pitch (best playing surface in SL...should be worth a few quid !!), the light fittings, floorboards......make us an offer ??

I think the Irish taxpayer own the B of I.
and the IMF own the irish economy so you will probably find the old Belle Vue being sold of to an American investor.

| You no what i love it how all of you blame hudds for everything! If things were the other way round, you'd be happy enough to take our players wouldnt you?! I understand you are all frustrated, you ve got every right to be. You ve been let down by your own club and everything has gone belly up. I hope Mr Glover hurrys up so that you all can start to hopefully get back to rugby matters and not money matters!! But until then best of luck to you guys, because its the fans that matter, you ll always be here!!

No juniors signed by Huddersfield and the Giants have released two players to sign for WTW.
