Didn't we have an award winning community team not so many moons ago? Heard staff were asked to take a huge pay cut a while back. Obviously they'll have gone looking for other jobs

We did and the RFL used it has a benchmark for other clubs, a blueprint for other clubs to work towards.

Don't know for sure i think Sarah is project manager but i could not say what Davides title is.

Didn't the funding come from the RFL & this was slashed after the drop in funding money from the govt. pre Olympics ?

As far as community team I think some have left as funding for their posts has come to an end. Think they were on fixed term contracts paid for by various grants.

Just go on Club website and you can find the names of the Community staff- it's not difficult

?? What project , do we know? Or is it just a made up role

General Manager I think.

Do other clubs have such cynical supporters or is it just us after years of disappointment. BTW I won £25 and got it no problem.

In any business - it's not at all uncommon to have several different registered companies.

With regard to the community staff - several did leave when the Sport England money was cut and the grant funding to pay for them was withdrawn.

Cheers for that.

So the benchmark team of the RFL got turfed out by SE, nice.

Has someone at the club shot your dog or something? You're not someone I had down as one of the 'usual suspects' but you sound like someone's p'd in your pint!

Was it cheque? Or cash?

Don't have a dog and don't drink if that helps.

Just trying to educate myself in the "ways" of running a RL club for when i win the lottery



And i like to keep my head above the sand.

Good luck with the lottery, but don't let anyone kid you into 'investing' in any sports club. Personally I could think of better things to do with my money if I won it, although I will always watch Trinity as a speccy.

As for heads in sand - its literally not my business how the club is run, my interest stops at being a supporter of the team. Try it, you might find it makes you less bilious.

Can you not see the link between how the club is run and the experience for us as supporters ?

I no first hand that the club doesn't run properly money wise, Iv heard many roomers including that AG is pumping 60k of his own money into the club.

It would be a shame if anything happened to Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, But some big changes need to be made asap. It is obvious Jobs for friends & family at the moment. In my opinion there should be full transparency of running the club.

I REST MY CASE!!!!!

I remember a fair few times when you've questioned peoples motives for stirring the pot, with your change in attitude, I and a few may perhaps question the same.

And rightly so, thats how it should be.

OMG! This is getting painful to read.

Andrew Glover once cut me up on the M1.

Am watching your back mate

Suspending "reality" for a moment; how many companies do you know would offer another company a 200K line of credit when said other company has a credit rating of close to zip? Seems unlikely, doesn't it?

Sorry... carry on.

The internet and technology have got a lot to answer for! I remember rolling up in 1974 when the club ead probably run equally as bad or well as it is now but all we cared about was how well Topliss, Morgan, Skerret, Smith, Sheard, Crook, Ballantyne, Handscombe, Hudson etc would play and the result. The Board were names in the programme and nothing else to the supporters. Get over yourselves and start supporting the team or sod off. That is your place so stop thinking you have any other part to play and leave Glover alone. Without him there would not be a club at all!
