Whether it comes off is another matter though! And when they do after the best part of taking millions in tv money over 20 years we'll rightly praise them for it.

I just posted what most were probably thinking. Understandable, because Mr Carter does not mince his words and is open to talk to the media, he will be one of their first the reporters contact.

JonM Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Perhaps worth observing that the T.O president has been talking to the media about the extra millions they'll make from the UK TV deal and thousands of traveling British fans, plus the large number of away fans for the derby with Catalans 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may impact on numbers travelling to Catalans away though, if people don’t want to do two French away games a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recommend staying in carcassonne and travelling up to tls on the train too if you're on a budget. Cheaper flight. Nice town. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it have been a little less unreasonable to say: earning millions in tv money, in the same way as, say, Leeds or Wigan or any of the other teams who have maintained a place in Super League? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The years they were protected from relegation, no. The constant voting to keep money from other clubs like leigh last year for protectionism, no. Wakefield have contributed little to the comp for many years. I want Wakefield to be more competitive. They can only do that by sorting out the ground, getting the 3g down and growing their own fanbase and commercial income. They have had plenty of time and if they camt do that I want them out very quickly for teams (like Newcastle and York) who can and will. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he keeps stripping back and stripping back Wakefield's squad through cost cutting his time as a SLE director will be coming to an end very soon.

Not, just people who either kae bad faith arguments or are not actually contributing to the discussion in a meaningful way. Not going to feed trolls anymore so that´s a mute I´m afraid.

Oh, I think what he would have to say would be very interesting, I can't for one minute think he has disclosed everything said or disclosed from the comments and intentions spoken in the hallowed halls of the SL Chairmen's meetings, lots more beans to be spilled I should think.

You made a list of things you thought Wakefield should be doing, I replied that the club are trying to do those things, redeveloped stand however is reliant on a developer doing the right thing for a change. New floodlights have just being fitted, a 4g pitch is being laid in the close season. How’s that trolling? you mentioned a couple of clubs and I’ve wished em well.

Fair point. It looks much better than it did when I played on it as a kid in the late 1980s. Those April/May Cup finals the ground was rock hard and lethal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLANTISMAN Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 To be serious there needs to be a time limit put on clubs to get their stadiums up to scratch or its goodbye to SL. Wakefield and Castleford stadiums (If you can call them that) are an embarrassment to SL I would set a 2 year limit. Better still bite the bullet and share a new stadium with Castleford. In reality though down the line I predict there will be no more than 6 of the current M62 SL clubs in SL some clubs are simply not sustainable and would be far better off in a vibrant Championship. SL needs to make some tough decisions in the next few months. Paul 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biting the bullet would be accepting that League 2 football club sized organisations should not be treated as if they were the size of a club in the Championship or Premier League.
