Ted has been great for Wakefield with limited resources, a disinterested Council and some pretty bad luck on and off the pitch. If he helps us get a SL franchise 'again' I will stalk him like I did that French guy.

To be fair I think it would be reasonable to describe the council as very interested in Trinity.............very interested in making life as difficult for us as possible that is. I hope that they see sense at whatever planning meeting Newmarket is being heard at next month and that it's third time lucky for us in terms of plans for a new ground.

Dont be daft

The council will evaluate our ap[plication and decide on it.

according to the people who peddle our new ground, the money they offer was never important, so the council have only to be professional, and not6hing more

your subjecture is fantasy

what i heard yesterday was that the council told us to go out and find something else after the thornes park debacle .. but have been stone walling us when we have!!

btw.. why have we a chairman who is skint? when is his appeal to the rfl going to be? always thought that a chairman would put some kind of cash in to the club but seeing him drive away yesterday makes me wonder..my little un has enough in the bank to buy a better car than that..or is it a cloaking device?? but with the cheapest of the cheap so-called personal number plate i am not so sure..

you can't make owt from his car, owner at sam smiths brewery used to drive around in a £200 proton and came to work dressed in rags

very eccentric he was

But brewed a nice ale.

Pint of "Richardson's" anyone?

Well what you heard is utter garbage, totally incorrect!

Chariman Ted never wants anyone to get more recognition than him, think about it as soon as a player or anyone tied to the club gets positive recognition Ted starts to work to get rid of that person, Gareth Ellis is a good example as is David Solomona, Willie Poching are others. There are many more examples just think about it. You had a "Super League Coach of the Year" and from that point on he was on the outer as far as Ted was concerned. Move the chairman and the club will move froward.

utter garbage

I agree with the last sentence, but not because of any faults with Ted's personality - just his bank balance.

Did the council not sell us Belle Vue for £1???? How much did it get sold to the developers for and is this going towards the building of the new stadium??? Me thinks not!!

No - we bought the ground back for more than we sold it the council for - albeit some of that was never paid as it became part of the CVA in 2000.

The money from the sale is to be used to 1) keep us afloat and 2) to help us develop the business.

It is not going where you are indicating!

develop the business???
We are needing alot to keep us afloat!!!! Transfers out, money from sale of ground to developers not a good financial footing to keep us in super league. No assets remaining!!

We don't have a sugar daddy - if one was out there they would find it quite easy to buy Ted out.

In the meantime, and with folk happy to buy £10 tickets from the Con Club, how else do we continue to keep ticking the boxes that SL requires of us? I know, let's get the white flag out and give up eh?

Is Mr Richardson doing a Mike Ashley and keeping hold of the club for as long as possible to secure an inflated price for the club. "if" we get another franchise and "if" we get a new stadium the club would be worth much more than if we dont get a new franchise even if we have a shiny new ground. Time to cut his losses and sod off for me!
if nobody knows who Mike Ashley is hes the prat at Newcastle United.

I doubt Ted thinks much of you either and, on balance, I think I'll take his opinion of matters over yours. Is that OK with you?

Mine is the opinion of Hundreds of people in Wakefield and that is why alot of people I know wont set foot in Belle Vue or any other stadium until hes gone! Fair enough he may have been there through Thin and Thinner but its time he stepped aside and let someone new have a go to attempt to make a success out of wakefield that we havent had since the sixties. I didnt see it but certainly would like my club to be a force to be reckoned with again.

That's a little different from telling a pratt to sod off!

You can have your opinion, but have some modicum of decency - especially when targetting an individual, please.

Just seen bootsn'all and their owner was quoted as putting several million into quins and they are even worse off than us ! This someone new you refer to, do you know who he or she might be ?

Loads of them in the pub when we feature on SKY, they know it all and could do better.

So when Ted took over it was because he was the quickest in the huge queue of wealthy backers just itching to put money into our club? Like him or not, and I have no opinion either way never having actually met the guy, he was there when the club needed him, and when nobody else was. For that fact alone he deserves respect and gratitude. If I were a wealthy bloke looking to 'invest', or to put it more properly blow huge sums of cash for no financial return, I'd look at all the spite and bile on here and think twice about it!

... I think the vast majority of [u[itrue[/i[/u supporters would back you 100% on that !!!

not me for a start
