Ah, I get you. Yes, the hardcore always remain.

No, Ellis said he had to be sure the costs - which are high - were warranted, based on attendances. If the attendance keep rising as they are, he'll spend the money. He did say that the way previous upgrade to the North stand was done would mean it's actually harder/costlier to do the further improvements they are planning.

Except Super League, it seems.

No he hasn't. He's as baffled as the rest of us! See the Inside Trinity episode where he covers it. His name is Johnst'n. Just as any normal human would say it. Also, Joe Arundel is Arund'l. -not A-runn-dell.

You're struggling with comprehension of my post; that's fine, let me help you. I was being a little cheeky in suggesting the announcer at BV is not an "RL man" - evidenced by him not knowing players names, pronunciations, nor the rules of the game. It was just a poke. Not serious. I will counter my first post by admitting his pronunciation of Fa'atili was perfect. Just as Mata'utia is Mata Utia (not Mat ow tia), Fa'atili is not Fah Tili.

You are correct, but it is our homage to the western terrace of the Mecca of RL, Headingley.

Wakefield haven't played Hudds or Salford yet.

The announcer at BV definitely struggles with one or two of the intricacies of the game. Announcing a Trinity player trade on the 4th down was a particular give away.

Swings and roundabouts - semi-final hangover vs. a fortnight break in fixtures when you were on a roll.

Cas don't spend £2m, but if they did, it would be because they had £2m. It's not ###### hard to comprehend is it!?

Condensing a couple of points on the thread... Johnstone pronounces his name as it should be pronounced...Johnst'n. When the ground announcer stressed the John Stone iteration, he gave a WTF shrug to the East stand. On the shirt sponsor - Trinity have a superb players lounge which sponsors can hire our per game, which gives them the lounge for their guests and front of shirt sponsorship for about £10k.

***VICTIM ALERT***

Until SRD apologists accept that this "takeover" never involved a future for the club, the better. These chancers are only interested in the land. Full stop. If they got the land, they would cut the club free and it would still die, lonely and alone. Any sweetheart deal for the stadium terms could have been negotiated in the purchase of the club - it's the council's to give, without reference to the wider land (or that could certainly have come later). This was never about SRD. Move on.

If so, I imagine Trinity will have plans to move away from his importance to the team in the future.

Mange tout Rodney, mange tout!
