Should be a good one

Good idea, if people have stuff to get off their chests, then is the time, i hope plenty turn up.
Clearly people pay attention to the grumblings on here, pushed either by the ST or the club or both.
Well done anyway, i shall be making one in.

Ok, I'm probably going to look stupid for asking but what have I forgotten about the 17th May?

Do you mean there is a "Fans Forum" at the club, as opposed to just on here?

Ok, I've seen the web site now. www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/news ... y/2012/05/

They must be paying attention to what's being said, I only mentioned that it was about time for another one a few days ago,or could it be a coincidence.

A brave move given our current position.

Don't know in this case but they do keep one eye on this board, somtimes 3 eyes depending on whats been said

and surely thats a plus.

I commented last sat about that we hadn't had a forum for some time so I hope that did jog there memories

more than owt else we do need a but of good news and I hope it doesn't turn into some kind of bitch fest

I hope the most strident critics of what's going on in terms of team selection and tactics have the bottle to turn up and put their points to RA and JE; I've never seen them shirk difficult questions at these events, no reason not to.

Well, what has happened this year so far to be included at the forum?

Ground - much improved from start of the year, covered areas in as promised, sponsorship of North Stand
Attendances - much improved this year so far

Match Day Experience - much to be made of this, especially as I have heard that a number of people won't go to a derby game after this year's game. Putting off families, women and children off isn't a good thing when we are looking to move to consistently higher attendances.
Other issues include: alcohol problems, and lack of suitable stewarding,

Coach's Performance - consists of ...
Team Selection - many critics, bench selections
Team's Performances - Currently 12th out of 14, probably similar in standard with teams 10th to 13th. Only 3 wins this season out of 12 games. which is similar to last seasons 7 from 27 games.

You would have thought that team captain would have been present.


''will be your chance to put questions to first team players Danny Kirmond, Ali Lauitiiti and Paul Aiton plus quiz Head Coach Richard Agar, Chairman Andrew Glover and Chief Executive James Elston on everything that has gone on so far this season both on and off the pitch.''

Guess that Danny is de facto captain

Anyone help with the following..

Who was signed before Agar was announced
&
Who was signed after the announcement.

Will help with a few questions I want to ask

To be fair, I think the club do pay attention to the fans sometimes. Could point to times I wish they'd listened more but that would be churlish when they've arranged this forum

Oh yes don't get me wrong, they certainly do take notice to what's been said and from what I can gather they want to listen when they feel there's unrest from the fans, it's the only way we'll grow tbh.

On certain issues yes, but not team selection - and rightly so.

As Wayne Bennett once put it, "you start listening to the fans you end up sitting with them".

Agar may or may not be the best man for the job but he's more qualified than any of the wanna be know all's who post on here. I don't mean those with an opinion, I ean those who clearly think they have the answer - you know who you are.

The moment Trinity teams are picked and given tactics devised by the lunatic inmates on this forum (myself included) is the day I walk away from WTRLFC and that nightmare scenario.

I won't be able to attend, am travelling again from Sunday. I would very much like to hear what the club are looking to do to improve safety for all fans and how they intend to deal with abusive and aggressive behaviour from the drunken minority.

If anyone can raise these queries or provide feedback I'd be most interested.

Many thanks.

The problem is that some players were announced after Agar arrived but in reality they must have been a long way through negotiations by the time he signed and he could hardly knock them back as a) there was no one else left b) agreements were probably made whether announced or not.

So hard to say.

That could well be the case. But Agar was being mooted as the coach of choice many weeks before his actual announcement so could also quite conceivably have been directing JE on the players to target, it happens regularly in all sports. Its one of those things that we will never know the true facts on. But I maintain that this bunch of players are, on paper, better than last year and a good coach should be able to get them performing to the best of their ability whther brought him by him or not.
