| It's a personal choice to buy a season ticket or not but to say you're not getting one because of the performance of our last match is just looking for excuses not to buy one. I always get a season ticket it's my ticket out of the house every other Sunday afternoon following a club that's important to me. Just like many on here my family have been supporting WTRLFC for generations and I want a strong WTRLFC to follow and the more season tickets we sell mean the stronger we become. The way the club has turned things around on and off the pitch over the last 12 months and the new league format next season the club needs our support and the more season tickets holders the better got a feeling next season will be a belter

| I will buy my season ticket even though on average I miss 3 to 4 home games each season. I go to every game expecting the worse but sometimes they surprise me and put on a performance like Salford which I missed.
I am not fitted with rose tinted glasses I realise the club we are and the position we are in the RL family. I suppose we could be considered the Wimbledon of RL not greatly liked but always a worry to any club that plays us.
I like many support Wakefield because I was born here and they are my team, I couldn't think of supporting anyone else. If the club ever disappeared I would walk away from rugby league.

| The Salford and HKR game summed up Wakey to a t.
Expecting a tough game against Salford with a lightweight Wakey pack but getting on the front foot early doors and winning comfortably.
Turning up against HKR expecting a good performance with the same lightweight pack but Rovers pack and subs bench were too much this week.
Webster has it under control and understands we need to start bullying teams in the middle.

| Not one person on this thread has said they are not buying a ST simply because of the HKR result. For most the game was just the last straw of many that has helped them make up their minds. The real issue here is, what comes first, season ticket sales or performance on the field? Cas managed a pretty good season this year. Was that on the back of increased ST sales last year? I don't know but I doubt it. If me and a few others buying a ST is so important why have we been struggling ever since we came in to SL when we did buy tickets? The point that many "not buying posters", including me, are making is that the performance on Sunday and many others like it, is the reason that a lot of committed fans and new supporters won't buy STs. Did you see fans leaving BV 15 mins before the end? Did you hear HKR fans singing, "we can see you sneaking out"?
If you want to buy a ST please do so but don't make out that dumb rugby and kickings from teams below us in the league is the fault of supporters not buying STs.

| I have seen fans of all clubs leaving early we are not unique in that respect. I would also point out that Hull KR were above us or are you referring to Bradford a team we perennially have a problem beating.
We have struggled but not every season however unlike some we are still here and have been since we were promoted despite the so called experts predicting our demise each year.
You don't need to buy a season ticket but if you need to justify this decision at least be accurate in your reasoning.

There is a lack of reality amongst many Wakefield Trinity Supporters. I will NOT be lectured by anyone on this site. I have paid my dues. I have had my never miss a game years. I've been around this club I love for 44 years now from 7 to 51. I effing drove in heavy traffic from Scarborough. With a stinking hangover I will add from watching my mates band in a late nighter. 80 miles and some serious traffic jams. 24 quid on the gate to sit with my usual friends in Block D. To see what? A group who appeared at least to not give a fling F about the match and who would have quite happily have had the after match party before the match. Needless to say I didn't stay for the so called party. My feeling was you can stick your party up your lazy complacent aces. I felt taken for granted. This game means nothing. We cant be bothered. Well...I live at distance. I took a look at the programme and counted. I have made 8 games at home. Work and family prevented more. I would have bought an ST but frankly, after that you can shove it. I will attend as I see fit and as I see a club and a team that looks like it can give a F

| Quote ="PopTart"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 kind of agree to an extent but there was something very very upsetting o me as a 40 yearer too. They just didn't care. It was obvious. They had knocked off 80 mins early. Season over. Never mind your cash, your effort to get there. Well, I'm sorry...NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME. So you can keep your season ticket. I might change my mind if Mr Carter comes out and apologises to us for that disgraceful and cringingly embarrassing display and offers me a few quid off the season ticket as sincere gesture that I in any way matter as a supporter, a thing that most of those players seemed not to care about.

I'm not expecting whatever you call consistency. I am expecting some kind of Rugby intelligence and some kind of effort. For goodness sakes...we were beyond abysmal. beyond embarrassing on Sunday. I expect some kind of acknowledgement of that from the club. It was not acceptable. I turned up for a competitive RL match and found a bunch of player with our colours on who could not care less. And that is a fact. I wont hear anything else. They were lethargic and disinterested from the kick off. The boos at half time and the fact the Hull KR could have got the slippers and cigars out led to a sterile and dismal 2nd half almost as bad as the first. It takes 2 to tango and our lot were partying at 1 o'clock.

| Quote ="King Street Cat"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!'"
Sorry utter nonsense. Yes this season was about staying up. It is also about trying every match and playing your heart out every game. Sunday was a disgrace. No effort. No care. I expect a Trinity team to go out and give 100% every match. They did not on Sunday. They were not interested. I won't accept that, staying up or not

| Quote ="4foxsake"WTW simply cannot afford to keep putting in performances like that.... They continually ask for support and patience from the fans however when the players put up displays like that then fans are going to stay away, season ticket sales will fall, ticket sales in general will fall and revenue will fall. If Wakefield can put together a decent side that gives 100% then crowds will follow, but the players have to show the fans something more than they did today. I was at Hull KR away, and said then it couldn't get much worse, thought today the lads might have gone out there with a point to prove... how wrong was I!
On a side note I'm hoping JW gives Jowitt Walshaw and Annakin a good run in the team next year... its about time we started bringing our academy lads through! Was disappointed the first two did not feature today.'"
Well my friend I could not agree more. Sadly we have let Walshaw go and yes we did get worse than HKR away that I was also at. And yes, the COMPLACENCY I HEAR AMONGST THE HAPPY CLAPPIES ON HERE mirrors the complacency of the club. All I want is to hear people acknowledge is how utterly unacceptable that kind of rubbish is. We seem to accept our lot..well that cost me a day of my life I won't get back and about 40 quid. I am not happy. So you lot who think you are Trinity saviours can have a think cos the rest of us are getting pretty sick of it. I saw Mr Carter getting a few words at half time in the cats bar. To be fair he handled it very sensibly and my observation of a few situations is I think he is ok but he cannot let this kind of day keep happening. I am long term trinity AND THAT SERIOUSLY pd me off on Sunday if you hadn't noticed

| Wakefield are no different to any club, if you look on any club's forum you will see exactly the same reasoning.
The performance was not good but over the years I have seen much worse and I have got over them.
I am not an happy clapper, I have often criticised the club but I am also a realist because we are what we are, we don't have a wealthy backer but yet we continue to surprise so called experts. The players we sign mainly come to us because they have something to prove but along with this strategy comes performances deemed unacceptable.
I would understand some on the forum if we had the resources of Salford who have tried to buy success being angry at the way their season has gone and the heavy defeat against us.

You're the one who suggested that people were making the decision on the basis of one game alone which is not the case. Perhaps look closer to home for accurate reasoning. You also managed to avoid addressing the main issue of the post: Chicken or egg?

| Put a line under it now folks. Last season has gone.
The last result of last season is history.
Next season, new players, the majority in place now, not January - surely some need for optimism?

I'm surprised just how many quality new signings we have in place already, all who will benefit from a full preseason and be ready to go come next season. I'm confident we won't be worrying about work permits and visas and who's going to play where come the first league game.
