Regarding awareness of the club.

“Welcome to Wakefield - the home of Wakefield Trinty RLFC”

Could sponsors be found to fund signs like this on the main roads in to the city, the bus station and Westgate/Kirkgate stations?

That's a good idea Kev but we need the "Star" players to highten the clubs profile. But were just not willing to go that extra mile & I think were kind of boasting now ( If that's the right word) everytime were on television or Facebook about not having any funds to do it or should I say not wanting to spend the cap. That's not going to excite the wakefield public. Who wants to hear that. That's not going to bring anybody in

Couple of points.



Firstly reduced prices and freebies don't work. We found that out with Glover and if that is not enough for you, remember that was also the start of the demise of Bradford. Still not convinced, then look at Huddersfield they have massive give away deals and their gates are worse than ours.





Secondly regarding City awareness, again I don't agree. Yet again I called into a local boozer after the game and it was reasonably full.





We had our Wakey colours on and just about everyone in the pub were interested how WE had gone on.

So David Fifita isn't that 'star' player?

Could sign a 'star' player with a history of drug taking, who only uses the club to see off his suspension, so he can return to the NRL?

Was just thinking the same thing before you posted. With Big Dave, Pauli Pauli, Tom & Bill Tupou to name but a few signed up for 2109 our season could be written in the 'stars'.

The issue is they weren't interested enough to go.... or even look on their phones

But did they know there was a game on before you walked in. I would suggest it was quite a small sample of the wakey public, small pub too if you managed to get feedback from just about "everyone".

No, the club / game needs to do more.

I think it's more a case of can't, rather than don't want to. I'm sure MC would love to be able to spend up to cap.

The point is there were two of us and at least a dozen people in that pub knew there was a game on and wanted to know hoe WE played.





I am sure the same could be repeated all over and around the City. Lets just say if two of those attended from that pub and the same was repeated all over then your 4000 gate becomes 8000.





One other thing, don't forget Leeds UTd are doing well this season and they had a big game on Sky last night, that always has has a knock on effect to our games.

I wonder if the all ticket system naturally impacts on numbers.

I like that and it would instantly lift the clubs profile.

Poor excuse if so, you can buy online or pay on the day, the ticket office/portacabin rarely has a queue outside it.



Ultimately the club need to market themselves and the players heavily but that cost money, money the club doesn't have and Michael Carter does not seem the type to speculate to accumulate.
