I think over the past few years, The RFL and until MC took over, with very poor management of the club has created a lot of fear for Trinity fans.
Long gone are the days when not finishing bottom (or bottom 2) meant that we were guaranteed top flight rugby.
The start of "franchising" and then the loss of franchising has brought the club to the brink more times than is good for any of us.
Add to that the ted days and Glover debacle and now the very real threat of being homeless and the stakes for Wakefield are so high, it's not really healthy and we all know that relegation could actually spell the end for our once proud club.
Then factor in the modern culture and its demand for success and you begin to realise why everything is either really good or desperate.
Our club seems far more vulnerable than most and Trinity fans know the consequences of dropping out of the top flight.
Im not saying this justifies the crap that some fans throw at the players and team on match days but, the environment that SL is played in is a long way from the "family" sport that the game talks about.
There has long been a feeling that some clubs and the RFL would rather Wakefield disappeared, which again makes the ground issues so sensitive.
Having said that, there is nothing worse than when "fans" lay into players for making a mistake or two and clearly although these people may want Trinity to win, they are not supporting the team, which is something that we have to do whether we win or lose.
Everyone is different though and some cant handle their emotions as well as others so, maybe we have to cut them some slack but, we shouldn't be slagging of the players.
Ive never met a player at any level that makes mistakes on purpose, they are usually trying their best , even if it's not always good enough.
Trinity are doing particularly well at the minute and everyone should be enjoying the games, which are even better with a pint of Trinity ale in your hand
