Who exactly has been disappointed with the players that we've signed so far? I think we've done pretty well recruitment wise so far.

While Agar wouldn't have been my choice if 'supporters' are really not going to buy a season ticket because he is the new coach then that says more about them than it does about the appointment. Nobody knows how Agar will go as coach of Wakefield Trinity so he at least deserves a chance to be crap before we hang him out to dry. Just because a few folk on an internet forum don't reckon Agar is up to the job doesn't make it so. I bet Martin Edwards was glad he didn't listen to the fans when they wanted Alex Ferguson out at Man United many years ago.

I can't see an underwhelming delivery on any points and as such have no reason to doubt that the ground improvements will happen. You call it concern for our great club I see it as revelling in the possible misfortune but there we shall have to differ.

This isn't the point though. It's potential new supporters. The targeted 2,500 that will not be achieved by employing a proven failure with zero carisma. Sure, the same old mugs will shell out regardless of which numpty gets put in place. The bubble has burst!

If we can get 5000+ paying to watch wakey vs quins. Whilst in bad form in a bad year. I'll be shocked if we can't sell 2500 season tickets atleast at £100 a crack!!

The players signed so far in Wilkes, lauititi, southern, Ellis already are all SL quality and appear better in most cases an improvement on this year. Add to that the funds been made available for another 4 players with quality on the agenda.

Add to that the £500,000 atleast pumped into belle vue.. Atmosphere.. Roofing.. More bars... Carvery..

If that doesn't encourage this years current supporters who attended the cru and quins games to add to 5000 + attendences to buy a half price ST nearly then something is wrong with the world.


I think the 2500 target is aimed at current support, and at that price the 2500 ST target should be achievable.

After the 2500 target is reached. It's the ones who need a little convincing and new customers that need to be targeted with advertisement, marketing and community interaction.

Trinity walk is a useful marketing tool come December time running up to Xmas. people with money to spend and what to get for family friends?....

Seconded!

Get ready to be shocked. I don't think there's a mechanism for any of us to get our credit card payments reversed until the end of September deadline either. If this was possible then I think a few would be arranging it immediately if the worst case scenario does happen.

before i write this i swear i am not trying to get a bite but how many of the 5000+ V quins do you actually think paid to get in the ground. I will take nothing away from AG for what he has done for you this season and he must have some very deep pockets with all the low cost games he has put on and in many cases free, but the test has now come and you will soon see just how many people in Wakey are prepared to pay to watch a SL game because I really cant see the freebies continuing on next season.

We had this accusation from a Cas fan just after a recent game if I recall correctly, and it turned out that his evidence for mass freebies was that someone in a pub offered him one.

I don't know where this black market of free tickets is operating, but I certainly never see any - are you confusing us with Harlequins?

Have to say I never come across any or any other supporters... We have offered half price admission but not freebies on a grand scale to my knowledge.

5K has been pretty much our core support for the games where there is no away support. If there have been freebies, I've missed them. The crowds have increased beyond that when there have been offers, like when we got 8K against Crusaders the other year and it was half price plus Diversity.

As i said i am honestly not looking for a bite and i do think AG has done all he can to get people through the gates this season, but in a couple of weeks I will either be proven right or wrong as to weather the peaple of Wakefield will pay in their numbers to watch SL. But in all honesty and i am sure even you will agree with this, if a city club with a population the size of Wakefield cant sell 2500 tickets at £100 each then you really do have to dispair. I will say one thing though I wish Cas had done the same thing.
