When TRB starts alluding to difficulties at wakey then maybe it is not a fiction created by Giants fans! ![Shocked icon_eek.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_eek.gif)

The comments from con and TRB. Posters with good contacts indicate a high level of turmoil. With another low gate on Sunday and a terrible thrashing all is not well....alledgedly.

Were you a Wakefield supporter at any point? Your anger has parallels to an ex-smoker, who now reviles the habit.
You seem to have a total fixation with the club and revel in any scraps of bad news which you are fed. You must be an a real high after the number of setbacks the club has received in the lest twelve months ![Rolling Eyes icon_rolleyes.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_rolleyes.gif) .
Instead, why not enjoy supporting your club whilst their having a decent run.
You seem totally obsessed, which is quite disturbing.

I thoroughly enjoy watching the Giants play and watching them improve at the club. Cheers.
No anger but much amusement.
Feel free to offer theories / explanations on what I choose to post on. Feel free to feel 'disturbed'. Many wakey fans would rather comment on this rather than on points of substance. No surprise.
Sunday was a very pleasant day out.

So you should enjoy watching the success of the Giants after all the under achieving they have done in the past year or two, and so would I if I were a fan of the club. My theories I will keep to myself as to this fixation of yours regarding Wakefield. I personally dont feel disturbed about it. As for the fans at Wakey I am sure it is only curiosity on their part as to why you seem determined to not only go over old well troddened ground but to actually keep labouring the point. You really need to get a grip on reality and get out from behind your PC.

Wowww there!!!!
I made no comments that were anything other than my own feelings on the matter. I have not commented either way on the financial stuff, other than to say that I am not aware of any truth in the rumours of any difficulties, as I do not have a definitive answer to give.
My comments were to the effect that what we see on the pitch usually reflects events off it. There are clearly unhappy people at the club - I have no idea as to why - other than the usual 'it's contract time' bit.
If anything, my understanding is that the club are planning to take us forward - and perhaps some of our players have realised that they are not good enough to be part of it? I really don't know! ![Confused icon_confused.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_confused.gif)

| Quote I'll tell you what I know about this supposed situation!
Over the last ten days Ive spent at least nine hours a day at Belle Vue. I've spoken to just about every player on the books, the Commercial Director, Commercial Manager, Chairman, Vice Chairman, Coach, Receptionist, Groundsman, Bar Manager and Mrs B who's been at the club for 43 years.
Not one of them has offered any kind of sign that there's any form of financial problem at the club. . NONE. . NADA. . ZIP.
Now either every member of staff have been briefed about towing the party line and have taken the art of acting to a level that Pacino, De Niro and Sir Lawrence Olivier himself would be proud of or . . . wait for it guys cos it's worth hearing. . .
There is no financial problems at Wakefield!
Some of you will breath a sigh of releif because you can now go back to your everyday life. Some of don't have a life and will identify yourselfs by continuing this ridiculous thread.

Here speaks the poster who suggests the club sign taumata. A guy who will not qualify for a visa/wp
They haven't offered a sign? What were you hoping to see? Ted and John Kear busking at the Ridings
You have done your job and got a few brownie points at HQ. Back in the real world the points listed by wadski stand.

No desperation at all.
There are financial problems.
The club tried ' denying' players were being moved yet players/coaches etc in the game know otherwise.
If you think your fall in gates is not having a major financial impact you are in la la land.
carry on denying such things if it makes you feel great. ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

There would be financial problems at your club if it was not Davey's hobbyhorse.
I am sure that every player and coach in SL are breaking their necks' in an effort to supply you with the latest gossip at Wakefield
We would have to be a relative of La La to think any differently dont you think, and how can we deny such things when you and wadski are on hand most of the day to remind us, but at least it shows the pair of you care and on behalf of the Wakey fans I would like to thank you for your interest. By the way its just an observation really but it must be awfully boring still, on the Hudds board that you prefer to voice your concern about a club you allegedly dislike so much ![Wink icon_wink.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_wink.gif) You might do well to keep in touch with your own board so that you dont miss out on any gossip just a thought.

Yes, like many SL clubs it is great to have a backer like KD. If Richardson walked you would likely go bust.
Not every coach etc etc. But I was making reference to the scully/Korki swap hours before anyone else - go figure
You are welcome to your knuckle dragging observations. Like other wakey fans you would rather speculate on poster motivations than deal with the facts.
Will watch your reserves on saturday. Wonder we will rack up 50 pts....again ![Rolling Eyes icon_rolleyes.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_rolleyes.gif)

Your own accounts arent too healthy.
I believe Huddersfield Giants Ltd have a current negative net worth of 4m and for the last two years(accounting) you have blown circa £1m and that included a year in which you were in the CC FINAL.
