They still manage to lose an average of £3million a season per club!

I think we’ll hit 4,500ish by the time the season begins and will maybe average an attendance around 6,200 over the length of the season. I believe the key will be how many capacity or close to capacity attendances we get for the bigger fixtures against the likes of Leeds, Castleford, HKR and Wigan. If we challenge the capacity a few times then Matt Ellis will likely look to improve the stadium even further for the 2026 season

Wakefield Trinity continuing to redevelop the stadium to create a higher capacity This is for the North Stand which is virtually sold out already and will not only improve the Stadium but will create room for more fans. https://x.com/wtrinityrl/status/1854932633744007603?s=61&t=BAbwjolQqAvasSV-u7HKTg

I don’t think that was our strongest line up at all, with Wardle, Johnstone, Young, T Burgess, Pearce-Paul, Smithies, Nicholson, Mulhern all having a say next year.

Trinity Season ticket sales gone past the 3,000 mark today

Going sideways?

They won’t be though will they because Wardle will be back at left centre with Farnworth moving into Newmans position. It does have to be said though, Newman isn’t top tier international standard with or without the ball

We’ll go do something else then, tired of reading your moaning & groaning to be honest! The sin bin was fair in the context of a number of penalties conceded by Samoa and having been warned by the Ref to cut them out. The Williams try was also fair, both defenders chose to go to Nsemba, no one was impeded from mapping out and it was just very poor decision making by Samoa.

I’m not sure it’s a romantic coupling but Micky Rourke and Keith Mason look good together

Well prior to last season we struggled to sell 700 - 800 so I’m pretty happy so far. I don’t think we’ll reach last seasons figure but that was created by a perfect storm of relief, new stand, new owner, new coach, big signings, ambitious announcements, curiosity and a well thought out strategy. This year some of those special motivations aren’t there and then there’s the SKY factor with games being moved from 3.00pm Sunday to who knows when also some will be happy to watch at home now that all games are televised, If we reach 4,500 I’ll be delighted If memory serves it was just short of 5,300

Trinity have passed the 2,500 mark

Can we get back to season ticket sales eh!

Wigan have already rebuffed a couple of enquiries about Havard

Has Phil Gould been in the media again, exclaiming that Samoa can’t be beaten by this England team

Would have been nice to see Ashton break free with 70 metres in front of him

Said the same a few days ago, it’s a shame we aren’t seeing Wardle there as well instead of Newman

I rate Smith highly but that was poor on all counts, decision making, execution everything was bad. Let’s hope he settles into his normal high standards

What a terrible pass from Smith, it’s forward, it’s uncatchable, it’s a poor option late in the count, Bateman has 3 players right in front of him it’s bloody awful in about half a dozen different ways

It’s a shame that Wardle is unfit, I’d have relished seeing that back line with Jake in for Newman. All big blokes with real quality and speed right across the threequarter line, it could be the start of a new era. With some special looking players coming through in the forwards like Havard, Nsemba, Pearce-Paul, Smithies allied to Williams, Smith and Lewis in the halves we could be looking at a high quality England team

Expect more Stadium development before next season and then plenty more after that. I’ve also heard that there may be a couple more serious additions to the squad https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/wakefield-trinity-plan-ambitious-belle-vue-expansion-as-owner-details-plans

I know Shenton’s a Cas lad and spent most of his career at the club but he’s not daft, he knows that over the next 4 to 5 years Wakefield are the club to be at. He also knows that Powell will eventually move up to the Rugby Manager position leaving Shenton to take over the reigns.

Wakefield 2024 Vs Leigh 2022 Leigh were a great team but they also relied on some fantastic individuals to score points from nothing Wakefield look more of a tight knit well drilled team with points from everywhere. I think it’s a tough one to call but I’d go with Trinity because of their defensive game

Excellent coverage and commentary from The Sportsman Tjey were there early for the build and did a superb post match wrap up with highlights of all the try’s and interviews with the major players. Very well done

When you consider all the great players that have played our game over the last 140 odd years it is quite amazing that Wakefield Trinity boast the World Record points in a season holder in Max Jowitt and The World Record points in a career holder in Neil Fox!
