Michael Carter is quick to criticise the people of Wakefield for not attending games but what is the club doing.? Whilst Leigh with there rich backer are taking out full page adverts in the press we can't even update the website. 6 days before a vita home game the front page is still advertising tickets for last week's cas game... PATHETIC

"LEIGH WITH THERE RICH BACKER"

The clue is in there.

It's THEIR rich backer btw.

Sorry but how much does it cost to update a website?

I think most fans know who we are losing to next, we don't need it plastered all over the city, do we?!

We are at reduced capacity and don’t know capacity figures at present but not room to be had in our 3 home games so far, so no need until capacity increases. That said I see they’re offering family tickets for the Leigh game.

Up the Trin

There has never been a desire to use any mechanism to increase crowds that costs money. Its the main thing in his leaving speech that MC had no grounds to moan. Coupled with an awful product on the pitch for the past 4 years I'm surprised they're holding up at the 4k mark.

Of all the things wrong at the moment. Updating the front page of the website isn't really top of the list.

However I agree, we should be better at it.

I think the people of Wakefield are no different to people anywhere else. For the vast majority, spectator sport is not cheap. Therefore people will come to games and spend their money if they think they are going to be entertained and have an enjoyable experience. This club of ours has failed to do that far more often than not throughout the last
4/5 seasons.
Next season looks like semi pro second grade fayre will be on offer. The public of Castleord and most likely Fev will have full time SL as their offering. Knowing our lot ,we will also be charging top whack for the experience.

There is a well used saying in the betting industry, which is also appropriate for us WHEN THE FUN STOPS STOP. It has certainly stopped for me after many years. I suspect many others are feeling the same way.

You can excuse th first 2 /3 seasons getting the club through a difficult period, but after that 7 Seasons to get a club up the table and introducing measures to increase income and attendances. Carter's set his stall out season after season based on aprox 4000 attending and that's resulted in stalemate.
No investment no idea, we are a club that will never achieve anything under his ownership. THE HOPE GONE, INFACT SUCKED OUT OF THE CLUB.

Only a team that can string a few seasons of success together will increase the crowd. Can't say as we've done that since around 1966/67/68
Even Fev outnumbered us at McAlpine for that promotion final.

I feel too like all the entertainment and enjoyment has been sucked out of our team. I now no longer look forward to games, instead dread them.

We have all experienced these type of performances especially over the last few seasons. The problem is that there is no sign of any improvement in fact we appear to just be getting worse. The press are even referring to us as basically clueless and boring.
I didn’t agree with our selection of the current coach but unfortunately it is now irrelevant because the squad we have put together will not be changed because it is too late. I think we all know what the obvious outcome will be relegation. The problem is that with the new corporate order the interest will be focused on SL more so than now. If supporters believe that it will increase the attendances I very much doubt it. We don’t market games now so I suppose we can hope this may change with a change of structure at the top. I doubt we will be full time and can expect a lengthy spell in the wilderness because let’s face it we wouldn’t be the first club who slowly faded away once relegated.

I’m ever the optimist and will get those same wobbles deep in the gut going to the ground . Admittedly they don’t last long nowadays and some games have been a hard watch especially when you see how we are performing and haven’t got a cat in hells chance of getting back into games that have gone away from us early in the match .But I’m waiting for that win that will shock the RL and all it takes is a team to be off their game or not take us serious and we get to string a few passes together without either dropping it or knocking on , and you just never know , and Leigh might just be that game

My thoughts exactly. 200 mile round trip to home games - full of hope on the way to the ground. I just think that they will (well, might) win a game eventually and when they do I want to be there. We might be disgusted with the performance so far, we might disagree with decisions taken by the board/coach, we might despair at the thought of what might happen to the club if we’re relegated. But, as supporters we only have one job and that’s to get behind the team at every match we can get to. I know there’s not much to shout about at the moment but talk, from some people, of stopping going to matches just accelerates the downward spiral. If the board does its job, the players do their jobs and the fans do their job we’ll be ok whatever division we’re in,

Players out and about in town today promoting the game.

Hope they're getting danger money for that.....

Be better spending more time on the training pitch working on our attack

Can't really win can they? Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

With all respect it is not the players job to advertise a game, it is the players job to perform on the field so that we will games which would help to boost crowds.

It's part of it, we need to be doing both. An hour or so of their time after training, promoting the next game during the Easter holidays is a great use of the players time and one I fully support.

My progeny are far more interested in meeting Sam Eseh than Daz from the shop. No offence Daz!
