I came away proud of my son,
he wanted to do the walk with and showed some gritsy determination that I didn't know he had,
today for me it has been let down, not by the players but the club,

shame on you,
he walked for adam watene, you couldn't even be bothered to greet us all in,
shame on you you,
couldn't even take the effort to organize a walk round and collection before the match or at half time,
I don't want to walk around for the fans to praise us older end but maybe the young lads and lasses that took part deserve that, another opportunity gone to help the fund grow, its like you forgotten but I know that's not true

I'm lost for words and have calmed down from returning home

sorry Al I did tell you when I left that I wasn't happy but its been a privilege to walk with you all

Thats fine mate, you did say you would post this.


I'll let someone from the club answer it, they have the right answer back.

I felt that I would write to the club but that would fall on deaf ears, there pr stinks and I could do a better job, I have experienced it through the stanley rangers and they made a cock of that too

I will stand by my club because its been my club for years and always will, but it leaves me thinking on the way they handled my injury when I was a colt there, nothing has changed so blinked they are

this is the worse news story this season .





no way to treat our heros

I thought you had lost it Snowie with title of thread

Big shame on club for that then not good at all.

A fella I know his daughter did the walk she's only 10 and did a cracking job of making it especialy with weather been soo warm!

Said it but will say it again big

to everyone that did walk top people.

At the end of the day we did it for Adams family, maybe the club could have done more, maybe not, but lets not lose sight of the reasons for walking.

Young Brennan looked pretty good today in the Cats bar

i agree, i mean let see, sumo kicking the ball up in to the air thing for 19 millionth time or a bucket collection under sticks with reps from both clubs who have done walk for adam?????

best use of 3 minutes of half time???

I honestly don't know what we prove by walking until you think of Steve Prescott and the walks he has done,

=redwonder if he would of been treated the same,

a massive thanks to the guys that organize this is scott, mick and al and they don't get the recollection that they deserve,
today they took this on the chin,

they will be walking back to huddersfield for the away match and I will again join them in this quest

you could of put the suit on me and I would of had a go, probably fallen over and wouldn't be able to get up, but that would of been more laughs

and also getting all the "dancing kids out!" well done snowie and all who did the walk ..i am getting seriously pi55ed with all the little girls stuck out on the pitch and down where we stand..it is becoming a joke !!! when will the wildcats people realise that rugby league is what we play and the money generated by all the dancing girls doesn't actually come in to the club, just the people who run the whatever it is they run!! also all the discount tickets for the parents who generally don't give a monkeys about the game (most just want to get pi55ed..)at how many other clubs do we see the ridiculous number of kids stuck in the middle of the pitch before the game and at half time ? well done to the boys who play RUGBY LEAGUE prior to the game.

ALSO WHY IS THERE NO SUMMER RUGBY CAMP FOR BOYS ????

to the club....SORT IT !!!!

stop being so politically correct! PLEASE!

This is a disgrace by the club - they should show more consideration for the great efforts by those that put a lot of effort to support our players.

They seem to be going through a PR problem at the moment - I was disappointed that the Celtic game was rearranged with just 2 weeks notice making it difficult for many fans to get down there - another minor thing is today I took 5 friends to the game for the first time and got them seats on the East stand for the game. They were allowed in to Cats bar before the game but I was refused admission as since the last game they have decided that the season ticket I have is not enough to get in to Cats bar because it causes problems working out the crowd

. I obviously missed this information in the newsletter the club send out.



I am usually pretty positive about the club but we seem to be struggling both on & off the pitch at the moment. However not allowing those who made the effort to do something to help Adam's family to get a little bit of credit from the fans is the worst thing they have done recently. This is more dissapointing than the result of the game.

its not the credit I was think rather than the bucket being filled for a player we lost and loved

I expected the walkers to be welcomed into the ground for a walk-round salute, like they are at Huddersfield. I just saw one walker looking knackered and Big Al limping around with a bucket in his hand.

Well done to the walkers. Shame the club blew the PR. More importantly, sounds like the club blew the chance for a few extra pennies into the pot.

Very bad form...just think of the good publicity for the fund with a picture in the Express on Friday of you guys walking round the pitch - from both clubs - and the extra money that may bring in.

We do seem to be going through a run of bad PR stuff at the minute - the way the whole suspension business was handled being another example of this.

I was amazed too , half time came and not a mention of the walk .
Don't know any of the walkers personally, but recognized a lot of faces of people limping and overheated from the walk - congratulations to all of you who took part , fantastic effort on such a warm day - but once again , shame on you Wakefield , you seem to have really lost the plot lately in the pr department

and once again Huddersfield will prove they are the better club at organizing events . the walkers last year received a hero's parade.

shame on you Wakefield

mutts..totally agree and saw the hudds thing last year.

was going to rant about 1 of my earlier posts but i will leave it there. i seriously doubt that the club will take any notice, we seem to be as poor at pr as we have ever been.

poorly run club...end of!!!!

On behalf of the Adam Watene Fund I would like to say thank you to all who took part in the walk today. I, like everyone else, was expecting you all to walk round the pitch prior to the game and allow all the crowd to show their appreciation...... but I suppose we have to fit all the dancers in.

I will contact the club regarding this. Sometimes we really do shoot ourselves in the foot.

Could have walked around just after young ones who took part in rugby.

Hope you get a reply from the club and see what they have to say.

Big well done to each and every walker today though. Top people

Suprised the club did not have something on.

John Kear made a specific mention of it a tthe evening with and was very supportive so you would think other members of the club would be aware and wanting to show appreciation

Can only agree with what's been written on this thread. Not letting the walkers take the plaudits at half time was not only a PR chance missed but an insult to Adam Watene's memory.

Shame on the club.

I must admit I'm very surprised the club didn't utilize this walk to help Adam's family by allowing a walk around the pitch with a few buckets to collect from the fans. Last season at Huddersfield when we were asked to walk round the Galpharm pitch I was truly choked when we walked towards the Wakey fans who were all on their feet clapping. It made the blisters on my feet less painful. A wasted chance by the club to show how much Adam meant to them. Thanks for the walk though guys, me and my mrs loved it and will do it again on 5th July to hopefully meet some more members on here. Didn't realize i'd been talking to chissit until we'd done about 14 miles

I am not going to get into the club business, it may have been an oversight on their part or maybe there is other issuses to address at the club which maybe they feel are more important or maybe they just feel that there were enough responsible people dealing with it who knows.

What I want to say is that young Lewis and the rest of the kids that did the walk yesterday were fantastic walking all that way in the heat, and I am sure that like snowie the parents of them kids are really proud of their achievment. I certainly am
