This is a great book, out soon
Mike Rylance has put together an up to date history of the club from 1873 which is out in November

Title: 'Trinity' A History of the Wakefield Rugby Club
Author: Mike Rylance
Launch date: 9th November 2013

There will be a launch day at Belle Vue on Saturday 9th November with ex-players and dignitaries. All welcome

I've been honoured to help him out with his statistics etc

Excellent.

If people buy the book is there any benefit to Trinity finance wise?

I'm having one.

Shame about the launch date. I'll be in Wakey this weekend, but back home before the book's out. Wouldn't have minded catching up with Mike/Mr. Rylance/"Sir".

Did Sir hand his homework in late? Did the dog eat it?

Look forward to reading it, though. Definitely on my Christmas/birthday list.

I doubt it, unless it's sold in the shop.

That's one for the Christmas list along with new kit it's going to Wakefield Trinity Christmas

It'll be nice to get a modern reading of the club. "Dreadnoughts" and "100 Years of Rugby" are fantastic resources, but an update has been long overdue.

I agree. On my Christmas list too

Bump

Will it be available in the shop?

It's a must for Christmas

This saturday [urlhttp://www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/news/new-trinity-book-launched-this-saturday/2013/11/[/url

Anybody know what price it is?

£19.99 I think

I think he ought to also bring copies of 'The Forbidden Game: The Untold Story of French Rugby League' with him, it sounds an interesting read.

Book out today anyone get it? should be a big seller on the run up to Christmas. It shows our great history of our great club that's worth fighting for.

Seems as though some fans have lost this fight

I did and got Kirmo to sign it as well as a few legends . Its £19.99

I bought a copy and after reading a few pages about the club in the late 70's and into the 80's, it's like history repeating itself apart from back then there was committee men from the board who fell out constantly and they ran out of money after having a fairly successful period, the club had to sell it's best players to survive and then buy cheaper players. It amazes me how clubs had to buy nearly every player unlike nowadays when there is supposed to be more money about it's quite rare to have transfer fees.. Love the book, it's very detailed

Sent my parents into the WTW shop last Saturday to buy one for me as I now live 40 miles away and they were told its out of stock already.

When they asked the staff when they expect it to be back in stock they were told 'Don't know just keep popping back in when you can'. They had only been in the shop once before and left feeling that the staff were uninterested in providing any decent customer service. Since found out Waterstones are selling it so it'll end up getting purchased from there.

Poor customer service until things like this are rectified from the top down to the bottom how is the club able to maximise revenue opportunities with customers?

Surely when you go out of stock for a real sought after item you contact the suppliers for next delivery date and then communicate that message to all of your staff to inform the customers? You get them back in the store and other goods may then also be purchased? Or is this a bit too complicated or difficult?

You can buy it here if you want...

Thanks I'll do it through easyfundraising to raise a bit for the club.

LOADS in stock now, my wife's just been to the shop to get me one. She was told they had about 40 copies!

There are a number of Trinity Related Books they should be stocking. Not all folk want Beanies and replica shirts. I will make a suggestion to the club of titles.
