Out of all the poluted water that has flown under the bridges of Wakefield Trinity, it is this issue that is making the OP walk?

I smell an agenda.

OK the club continues to miss tricks or doesnt have the man power to fulfil its "obligations" but seriously... an out of date poster???

This - For me sometimes criticism of the club can be justified i.e. the highly contentious issue of stewards at the ground.



An out of date poster for me causes no concern - I’m just thankful that



A. We have a team playing in superleague

B. We won the advertised game and are on a bit of a roll



Let’s gain some stability at the club and attempt to grow on the back of that. Maybe even when we increase average attendance’s at games we can employ someone on a full time basis to improve the marketability of the club.

If you look hard enough you'll always find something wrong

Just to get something straight, one poster has a gripe about advertising boards and airs it on here, stating he is walking away as a result and is labelled pathetic by and large.



Another poster walks away apparently due to having a bottle confiscated and it's a travesty and he is hailed as some sort of martyr as a result?

From the little i understand of it, there's a bit more to it than that.

I come on here now again merely to rumours of signings and similar news but for obvious reasons I rarely post. I am nowhere near a 50 years fan but nor I am a new fan brought in the recent years of Glover's marketing. I feel these topics are born out of boredom through the mid week lul of news and rugby matches. But to add my two cents on this... go change em yourself

To be fair, the poster called the club "absolutely pathetic" and anyone who wasn't critical of the club sycophants because the advertisement hadn't been changed quickly enough.



The poster who has walked away did so after being thrown out of a game for not handing over a bottle of pop, a game he had paid for, after many years of attendances home and away. I don't know El Rey, never even spoken to him (apart from a couple of words when chatting to Vasty), but I know who he is and I know how much he has done for the club.



I think there there is a marked difference in the outrage each deserves.



Concealed in all the venom there is a genuine point to be made about marketing, but it wasn't made.

Think the club killed 3 birds with one stone.

There is a poster in my local chippy advertising 3 games, think it maybe Hull, Leeds and Widnes.

It's even got Jarrod Sammut on it, it's that out of date!

In theory you might have missed the Hull game but there is little excuse for missing the other two.

I'm not sure a change of poster will entice many more fans to the game, like MC said on the radio the inflated crowds from last season were lies and bucketloads of cheap and free tickets. Good priced and a 6 month staggered payment plan for season tickets next season should see a healthy increase in people through the turnstile.

I understand that, my quote about Sammut was very much tongue in cheek.

My point was that, it has little consequence changing the board on the outside of the ground, when there has been a poster advertising 3 games pinned up around the city for ages.

The posters and signage have little relevance to the public of Wakefield anyway. The only non season ticket holders that will be enticed to go to the game are the ones that already know about it; but don't want to pay the 22 dollar. Glover and his cronies have given cheap/free RL away, so why would the Wakefield public pay 22 dollar for something they were getting for nowt couple of years back. Next years ST prices are key.

If you're not in the know, like most of us, that seems a very fair summation.



Only history will tell us whether Carter is right on wrong in the way he runs the club, but it's his money and his neck on the line he he gets it wrong. If fans want to walk away, so be it, but I'd rather this approach from the club than the nonsense we had under the last lot.



Not as if anyone is queuing up right now to replace him. As long as we question decisions taken, what more can we do?
