Sounds like cost is too much for them at Wakey, both in terms of rent and ground safety certificate. https://wakefieldafc.com/2024/07/31/club-update-august-2024/

Didn't see this coming. Didn't they complain about our pitch when they moved to Belle Vue?

No idea if you're right, but I'd be disappointed if Kamano had gone.

I wanted to drive a bin waggon as a kid. Whatever happened to my aspirations.

Bit random the Silk has already gone, be interesting to see what happens with him longer term.

Something to do with construction or maintenance. A Quantity Surveyor perhaps, or some sort of engineer.

Does Lee Crooks count?

To Fev?

Hopefully that means he's undertaking some due diligence and actually reviewing club structures, rather than just a knee jerk reaction. I'm not suggesting Ford is the long term solution, but little point in sacking him at a cost without any plan for who is next.

So to summarise the last 24 hours... We've released our star half back and resigned out former captain from an amateur team at 38 years old. Not sure this is progress tbh. That said, start of the year the top 6 was the aim. At the moment, avoiding relegation will suffice, then reset and go again.

Not sure this is the best idea tbh, rarely do players returning have the same impact second time round, nevermind third and at 38. Obviously I hope it works out for the best however.

I'd be quite happy with the players we've currently got if we could get them fit, reduced disciplinary visits and playing somewhere near there potential.

*Pedant head on: England missing because he's signed for Keighley* No settled team doesn't help. Poor execution of basics doesn't either, nor does an apparent lack of game plan. I think it's clear we're in a reset as a club, and understandable given the end of last season. What's not clear to me at least is what now, level of ambition, and direction to get there.

If TO are in SL next year on the scoring, well done to them. In terms of scoring metrics, I'd assume they'd do well on the hypothetical crowds (based on local population), stadium, and who knows on financials. Whether that's better than identifies bums on seats/stood on terracing compared to other teams is open to opinions, but you can only play to the current rules of the game. I'm a Fev fan. We lost faith and square to London last year, tough on us. If someone else looses to TO under the new rules for next year, suck it up.

All things considered, went OK today. Not sure he's built to play prop long term, but could be a solid 2nd row, or even 13 if he can be a bit of a ball player.

I don't know it does and have no inside info whatsoever, but I'd suspect so.

We're all entitled to a view, and we'll never all agree. It's all good debate, let's keep at it.

All one man. Even the planned move from the scrum with everyone on one side was just plodding.

The one that fell out with other people choosing the players to sign? Not sure that would be a good fit.

One definitive positive for me after today's performance. I'm on holiday for the two home games in August, so won't have to watch that pants again until September.

You're right about poor player performances. I've missed a fair few games this year, however in those I have seen (including today) I'm not sure we're doing any attack training however, which is definitely the coach.

Based on what I've seen this season, I'm not sure we've ever started.

All the clubs at the bottom of SL + at least Wakey think there scores have improved. Someone will be disappointed.

Thanks. More than I'd thought then, though I've lost track a bit this season as my attendance has been sporadic due to other commitments.
