Makes a change from the Aussies dictating who refs the game.

Look here, the match will be played under whatever rules the Australians tell the RFL they're having. -

Trinity owner has big plans
Rioman replied to Martyn Sadler's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
ATEOD does it matter the ratio of adults to kids? It is people young and old watching Rugby League at Wakefield probably in numbers not seen for many a year at Belle Vue. A winning team (hopefully) will get the young wanting to come back in future years, and us oldies may yet see some silverware at the club before we shuffle off. As I've said on another thread, it won't be easy in the Championship, there will be 'blips' along the way but the feeling is that something is building at the club and ticket sales to date are an indication that people want to be a part of it. -

Yes it is an option. -
The upturn in interest is probably down to a two or three factor: Having a new owner who has 'a few quid' but also the business acumen to run the club. A whole new coaching and back office structure. A ground that is at long last being developed. This combination of factors has led to a wave of optimism and excitement for the future the like of which I've not seen in fifty years of watching Wakefield Trinity. We'll never know but, had Wakefield avoided relegation and with the factors mentioned above perhaps they might not have limped along. It won't be easy in the Championship and there are one or two supporters getting a bit ahead of themselves. There'll be some blips along the way but early signs are that a sleeping giant may be awakened.

Neither has ours. He's responded to questions from interviewers and also told Wakefield supporters what he brings to the table and what he proposes to do. Communication with the supporters has been sadly lacking in the last few years, so we're finding it quite refreshing. Hardly "shouting his mouth off is it?" -
The wife reckons if we'd a quid for every time I've come back from a Wakey game and said " I'm not going again.", we'd have enough to buy the club. Fifty years now and still going and still will be next season.

Wakefield Trinity plans submision
Rioman replied to Forever Trinity's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
If you're on about the western terrace, the dugouts have not been at that side all season and when they were they weren't concrete, they were uPVC and perspex with some crappy chairs in them.
