Wakey probably thought that they had to at least go through the motions of giving their fans priority. If they gave the bulk of the tickets to the Bulls and then found they'd underestimated the demand from their fans, even by only a couple of hundred, they'd be slaughtered by their fans.

"Stat of the day from the million pound game.Our starting 13 had a salary cap value of just over 600k. That's just a 1/3 of the max cap spend"

Some Wakefield fans appear to believe that this equates to parity with the Bulls on spending power which of course it doesn't. It also is the chairman inexplicably telling his teams fans, "Look how little we spent on the team, aren't you proud".

I am fairly sure that that figure may we have been ever so slightly higher if Tim Smith and his cronies had not decided to go joyriding in the gaffers (allegedly) motor.

Please stay on topic lads. Nobody's interested really.

I don't see why this thread should be locked when the vast majority might want to carry on making pertinent observations. On that basis I've deleted a few off-topics.

Thank you.
