Good times, new owner pumping millions in good times ahead. Up the Trin

Not sure what plan’s for south corporate block as more corporate facilities will be in new stand but I think at the moment they’re keeping it. Agree about Western terrace but needed to sort east and North stand first. Heard new owner is wanting to improve rear of North Stand Upper. Fan zone can be behind east stand or plenty of room at the south end of ground. Don’t forget the new LED floodlights, LED big screen and new state of the art full size flat playing service. Up the Trin

That looks a good hull team, can’t see us winning but play wiell no injuries or suspensions. Up the Trin

You’ve got a good team, a couple of challenge cup appearances in recent years, League leaders not so long ago. I wish we’d have had abit at that success.

We then did a typical Wakefield Trinity thing and put in a terrible performance. There is new optimism better recent performances and new ownership with if rumours are correct sounds very exciting. Up the Trin

Put Huddersfield’s ridiculously low season ticket prices at Wakefield or cas and our attendance would be a lot higher. We did it under glover years ago got decent crowds just couldn’t afford it luckily for you, Ken can. It’s a dangerous model though, cheapens the product and can take years to recover if you have to revert back to normal season ticket prices.

You can’t include junior side playing a pre match tournament as a catchment argument. Similar happens at most clubs, at Wakefield as well as the Wakefield teams we’ve had sides from Leeds Dewsbury Huddersfield probably other areas playing pre match.

Typical Trinity after a few decent games getting our hopes up. Up the Trin

Needed to start well and didn’t, not had much possession and when we have not done anything with it. Disappointing. Up the Trin

We’ve not won an away match all season and they’re a good side who’ve just beaten the league leaders. Not expecting a win but at least we have started to play. If we can keep in the game until last 10 mins you never know. Come on Wakefield. Up the Trin

It’s not relegation, it’s we’ve just started to play Rugby League again. Up the Trin

People came from all over for a night on westgate 80s/90s. Still gets busy but not what it used to be young uns don’t go out until midnight nowadays.

Good signing, 2 year deal. Up the Trin

That’s where the flaw in introduction of IMG criteria is. Fev are the best team in the championship and baring a major upset will be promoted. If the relegated side has a potentially better IMG score they’d have one season in SL and be replaced. So how would they play it. Go for broke spend spend spend on players try and finish as high as possible or keep same squad and spend on other IMG criteria to get a higher IMG score as possible without bankrupting the club. To answer the original thread, what about the no relegation rumour that’s been doing the rounds, which could be the way of introducing the IMG criteria as smoothly as possible. It’s all fun.

Ooh Wakefield we love you Up the Trin

It’s certainly an interesting proposition. Especially if the relegated team keep their reserves and established academy and do what they can to improve every other expect of IMG score. If the promoted team is on a similar or lower IMG score it’s interesting how they would approach it.

Luke Gale injury has probably put pay to a Trin win and any chance of not finishing bottom. Up the Trin

Correct, I’m sure I read that things like LED floodlights and big screens, score you more points than a new stadium.

Totally agree, even with our league position at the moment I’m more optimistic about our future than I’ve ever been in the 40 years I’ve watched the Trin.

90 - 100,000? That must just be just Wakefield central wards. Outwood Wrenthorpe Stanley Sandal Walton etc are all classed as Wakefield don’t think they’re included in that figure. Up the Trin

Looking good, the pitch of death looks well too. Up the Trin

That’s because it’s not finished, full length stand when finished. Regarding the price that’s how much new stands cost with all the facilities, corporate, changing rooms, offices etc. Think it’s 12-14m including new pitch, floodlights, North stand upper terrace and big screen. Good facilities for the club and City. Up the Trin

No, just laid a brand new playing surface it’s not 3/4g. It’s grass with some plastic holding it together which allows for more use. Up the Trin

New terracing on north stand upper and new barriers.
