That's a separate business that they run together and have done for a long time; he's still at Wakey.

John Kain, I believe, now works as a consultant and still has some involvement at WTW in that capacity.

Apologies bren I did say pathetic nowt to do with how the16s are run my reference was only regarding the fact of the team sheets and I think I have explained the reasons why I felt strongly about that . the question originally was raised by some on else but its the u19s I watch mainly as they play on a regular basis but I have watched the 16s at Bellevue and the lack of teamsheets occurs as far as I know for both acadamies.About having an agenda don't make me laugh I've know axe to grind with any of the academy coaches why should I don't know any of them personally I say what I see and if you and the avenger feel that Wakefield academy need protecting from a wakey fan who as criticised the admin on this point tough don't think its me who's sad at all

If it was a simple query about a team-sheet, why not say so, instead of posting in a thread entitled '1873 Success' the following:



Since the lack of a team-sheet can hardly be used as evidence that an academy is not well-run, your criticism seems over the top and unnecessarily harsh; I'm not in the business of protecting anyone, but it does sound like you are clutching at straws as a way to have a dig.

Am not clutching at owt, don't take my apology as a sign of weakness if you still think I've an agenda that's up to you ,oh by the way you still haven't given an answer to the question that's got you all worked up,but you know what I ain't interested now

missed this post



they have in the past, I was busy the last home game but when I have watched last seasons u16s the team sheet was issued on entrance and when run out was some more in the bar in the flats, we have only played one home game this season next game is 5th of May v Hull another big team who normally has a good academy, no doubt there will be a quite a few from the skirlaugh squad which was the best from age group

What question? Why there wasn't a team sheet at the one home game of this season?

I don't know.

think Richard will sort this out for thee next game

If you read my posts snowie you'll see I put I watch mainly 19s and I can't remember team sheets for them since Stephenson was here I do remember them with 16s last season but not this I just think snowie if you let things like this slide nothing will ever get done might seem trivial but I've heard others complain

its not trivial at all and should be addressed, it is the entertaining market and they should provided the basics, at least we do have someone working on the tannoy telling us who scored and the score where as at cas the other week there wasn't

Good performance by the 19s today away at Shudds.Went down 32.20 to the league leaders,but the game was a lot closer than the scoreline suggests.A disallowed perfectly good try in the 2nd half was a bit of a game changer,Jacob Ware took to hospital with a head injury,but thankfully seems ok,plus three others forced off not to return so played most of the 2nd half with no interchanges,the lad was forced to right centre in the 2nd half,due to the injuries,I think we have found his new position

.Well done to all the lads today for a good performance in all areas which contributed to a enjoyable game.

AGREE ABOUT EFFORT BUT THERES AN OLD SAYING .YOU CANT WIN GAMES WITHOUT HALF/BACKS

Fixture this Saturday
[size=150Wakefield Scholarship (U16s) Vs Hull FC Scholarship (U16s)[/size
Saturday 03/05/2014
Kick Off: 12:00pm
Belle Vue Rapid Solicitors Stadium

Hull FC have been the team to beat this year only losing once in their local derby match Vs HKR when they were without their three England representatives. This will be a tough game and win, lose or draw there's going to be entertainment so come and support the lads.

Don't know if there'll be a team sheet available though

Well you've plenty of time to make sure there is , if there ain't your just taking the mick, and if your trying to be smart couldn't care less your looking the fool

What are you talking about, how is it my responsibility to print and distribute a team sheet and what makes you think I've got the time to do so.

I volunteer my time to the club as a coach for around 15 to 18 hours a week, why don't you come down on Saturday morning and I'll tell you the team so you can print some off, genuine offer by the way. Just reply to this message and let me know what time you'll be there and I'll see you at the back of the East stand.

While we're there we can get a few things off our chests as you've obviously got something to say to me!

If not then cut the crap!

team is not selected until tomorrow evening training session, there will be a basic nucleus

Nowt to get of my chest at all sure you know who then club administraters are and you must be in a better position than me to get team sheets team sheets done , if your not interested to pass this request on to someone who's in charge of the printer I'll take it you can't be bothered and I'll leave it unstisfactorly at that

If I can't be bothered, what's up with you passing it on?

Tell you what TS, I'll do one in my own time and at my own expense just to shut you up, I'm sure there's a few on here who'll not only appreciate the team sheet but the silence as well.

Passing it on where you've got me confused, apart from certain folk on here who jump in defence of anything said remotely critical of owt to do with the academy your looking both childish and foolish but if my request of a team sheet is such a big and I presume expensive task forget it we'll struggle on

If you bring your own pen and paper to the game and ask both coaches nicely before the game they might let you write it down.

I never cease to be amazed at the things you find to get so wound up about.

I really want to join in but not sure what i could possibly say about the Team Sheet issue and sound sincere.

but just for TryScorer,

I'm defending the club, whatever their position is...........

Course you are pop tart I wouldn't expect owt else, but I wonder if its any effect on you I wonder if you attend academy games, if you do old lad say no more I can't beat You

I have in my youth but not for a long time.

So to answer the point seriously, I do see the issue. If we want people to come and watch the U19s play, we should tell them who is playing.
I wouldn't be against Twitter or Facebook updates like they do with the first team if that saves costs.
What I don't see is that it is anyone on here to do that work.
By all means volunteer but there was a bit of finger pointing there that was a bit pointless.

It would be great if someone at the club would take that on, but lets also just step in to the real world for a second.......of all the jobs to do, albeit important to the people who attend, doing a team sheet is probably way down their list right now.
The small things in a business like that are often something you need to keep chipping away at while the big things are being handled. They impact customers when they are forgotten.
I would applaud the change if they do it but I understand why they haven't.

I asked a polite question , having attended all( except Maesteg this season ) the 16s games over the last 2 seasons everywhere I have been there has been team sheets provided including Belle Vue  .  As far as I am aware there has been no reports anywhere in the press on our scorers etc , even the  WAKEFIELD Express only gave the Cas scorers ,for example who was the short 2 nd row who ripped them apart time after time, who was the classy winger who scored 4 tries, who was the classically built other 2nd row who ran like a centre , who were the 2 centres that replaced the two internationals .I would have thought the performance warranted at least a report , after all the 19s got one

If you follow @club1873 on twitter they give the team and updates from the U19 games.
