So if they have to let 2 go, I'm happy to help them by taking Smith on as a full time contract and then if they want to loan us another on a year long contract that would be ok too. We could probably pay half their wage to help out.
Unfortunately, they won't lose Chase, Locke, Dobson or Hauraki or Sau who are the players I'd take (not Chase), they'll be left with losing Puletua, Tasi and Rapira. Which is less appealing.

I have no knowledge of the dealings with Salford but I bet tim smith will be playing for Wakefield in 2015, realistically there's no point him playing anywhere else, is there?...

Surely if we took him back immediately, his wage from now until the start of next season will be a fair chunk of a saving for Mr K??

£30 to 40k in wages between now and Feb
or
Transfer fee in Jan?

Long as its short maybe??

That's before even thinking about quota spaces.

ST reminder bump


(is the physical make up of the season ticket different for 2015, as a recent tweet from the club refers to a 'season ticket card'?)

It is a card and they are going have card readers at turnstiles

Thanks

And behind the scanner I'm reliably told are gonna be "open bottle" x ray machines, you heard it here first.

No discount for students which is a bit pants... How are we expected to lump up as much as someone in full time employment I do not know...

And before someone says the easy payment scheme, it's not that... It's just £220 is a significant chunk of a students income!

Sacrifice one weekend of booze, drugs and costa coffee and hey presto - you've got a ST!

Ask your parents to sub you and promise they will get the money back eventually.

Take it out of your student loan?

I like the idea of it being a card. I don't have to go looking for it every other weekend. I can just keep it in my wallet.
Assuming the readers work well and at least one located at every set of gates. Don't be sending us to one gate please.

Think they said there would be one per turnstile

We have had them at the Bulls and they work well. Never had any problems and as you say, it's a lot easier keeping the card in your wallet then looking for your season ticket book.

Only an idiot would forget their Season Ticket...

*Message to self leaving house* Ticket, money, keys and mobi, check.

Sometimes I'm under pressure!!

I'll pm you about 1pm on Sunday if you like?

Thanks awfully!!

It's understandable kinley, I have done it myself and only realised when train was approaching Wakefield

I realised when my feet were approaching the con club!!

Anyone else think good news on signings should be coming soon so season cards?? Start with a bang? Or would you think drip feeding this news would work better?

I'd like to see Tim Smith announced on 1st Sept and maybe another (if we have one) soon after as a boost

The signing of Tim Smith would be great and a replacement for Tautau!

It needs to be a bit of both.
There are 3 key times for ST sales.
Early bird (usually a deal based on the previous seasons price), Christmas and around a month before the new season.
Although it hasn't always been the best form of advertising (as they hare happy to print both good and bad about the club), The Wakefield Express is somewhere we should be getting the offer(s) out and certainly we have to have some really positive stuff to try and get the apathetic folk of Wakefield to part with their hard earned cash.
Something on the stadium would be a real boost
