With all the rumours going round surrounding our finance situation , and with Glover continuously stating we are fine, why has he set up another company called wakefield trinity wildcats on June 11th from a East Midlands address ?? Spirit is just short of 1m in debt , a pre-pack and admin looks to be on the cards unless rl block it happening. Thoughts????

A newly registered poster said that a new company called JEAGFC was set up a few weeks back.

That poster (jeagfc) set up the account to post this info and has not visited us since.

The RFL may or may not be able to stop it happening but i'm sure they are trying to avoid it.

Could well be when the split for the 12 team comes we've made it easy for the RFL.

Wouldn't it be better to bite the bullet and go into admin now and have the points deducted this year instead of next year when relegation is involved?? Wouldn't that mean glover and elston could no longer be in charge as new owners would need to be inplace ???

Glover might be waiting to see how much money comes from the Leeds and Bradford game to pay people money.

Isn't this a nothing story until something happens. The only good it does is fill column inches and give ammonia to use against the club. Pointless and unhelpful when the club is trying to get more sponsorship and sign players at this moment in time.

But don't you think people want to know what's going on behind the smoke screen ????

MIGHT?
The club must be absolutely desperate for the arrival of a decent home game. How long has it been since we had a decent away crowd or a game that appealed to walk-up full paying floaters. Last few home games: Widnes (Mon night TV), London, Catalan, Hemel!!!
Hopefully the influx of some season ticket money will have helped a bit.

I'm sure Leeds were pleased to get an 18k+ home crowd after 3 games on the road.

Most people just want us to have a good win against Leeds next Friday and leave what's out of our control to the suits.

Agreed.

Actually, on reflection, I have decided that maybe it was not such a good idea posting this even though it was generally positive. I hope that those who saw it understand & that they will respect my decision & the information posted.

Sorry IA, possibly I am a little slow today,but what did you post?

Can't help but think that the financial state of clubs in professional rugby league is a total joke.
The respective owners should have their heads banged together.
It's all about survival of this fittest and without a BIG sugar daddy willing to put substantial sums of his own money in then the smaller clubs such as ours have no chance. I don't mean loan the money I really mean give it. Even with a full Newmarket, whenever that happens we will find it hard to compete with the likes of Wigan and Leeds.
I am a little tired of the situation at Wakefield and I honestly think if the club do go into administration again, then I'm done with it.

This.






We need everyone to get behind the club and turn Belle Vue into a capacity crowd next Friday and let the team hear how much this club means to the fans. Rumour such as this does not help. This is a great club and we have a good competitive team with the limited finances we have pushing the Super League champions all the way last night but also in the play offs last year.

Together we are stronger....

Together we are SKINT....

My rational is that on balance the club will continue and reason for this is
that if it went down after glovers statement he would have been getting money under false pretence trading while insolvent so both him and Elson would go down.
therefore with his other business commitments it would be catastrophic for the club to cease trading after just coming out and saying everything is ok

Didn't see anything wrong with what you posted tbh.

I think it will too. The club has a determined owner who's business acumen must be stretched to the limit - hence my rant previously about the state of RL finances. I bet it's ten times harder running the club than WY Windows!

Agreed.

Not quite what I said, but I did advise that a new co had been established, quoting info that is in the public domain. I'd be surprised if the RFL allowed things to go that route, or at least allow the same people to run the club following the long list of CCJ's that have arisen.

Since I posted that information, not one but two Winding Up Petitions have been submitted suggesting to me that those in charge new what was coming.......

IF the fact that we are not in administration is all that keeps you coming, you might as well just go now.

When I started watching we had 3k crowds, just been bent over by Pearson and getting hammered every week - anything on top of that is a bonus for me - i'm loving the 8k crowds, challenging for playoffs and new stadium on the horizon.

Boy aint it hard being a Trinity fan.
Still baffled as to what IA posted.

If people believe those rumour then why are you still spending money on club? Thats right because you care - just do your bit spending in the club shops and renewing season tickets and its all we can do. If we stop spreading the rumours it might make it abit easier to retain players etc.

Not sure i would read much if anything into the registered address..............its the address of the accountants that formed the company.

I would not say this news is good at all. Spirit of 1873 is currently facing a winding up order from HMRC www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/ ... -companies which is more than likely a tax bill! I really hope this gets sorted soon but once again I fear for the club. No disrespect to AG but he has not run a rugby club before and does not have the deep pockets which is currently it appears the only way to run a club!
