I will keep an interest in the club (if I ever visit england again I would probably go to a game)... will I watch British RL otherwise.... NO absolutely not... I might even buy my first Kangaroo shirt!

The reason being there are at least 3 teams with less to offer than ourselves, one being bank rolled by the RFL and who are not paying players! Richard Lewis and Nigel Wood have made our game a laughing stock by persisting with expansionism, even though it is not working at Crusaders or Quins. We are a sport that manipulates decisions to get the answer that it wants. I have never felt as dispondent as I do now, not because we might be in a lower league, but because of how the decision will be made.
I have supported WT in lower leagues before and will do again. if we go down that will be twice we have been demoted without finishing bottom. How can that be fair.
WAKEFIELD TIL I DIE.
There's several clubs which have been stranded in the lower leagues who didn't finish in the relegation spot. It's nothing new. The fans of those clubs also share your disillusionment as to the RFL's reasoning behind it all and have done for many years. If the Wildcats do go down then they are simply the latest victim of this crazy system. Again it's nothing new.
But the Championship is a great competition and deserves far more credence than it currently gets. Did you see today's NR Final? Classic rugby League. Was it more entertaining than the weekend's televised SL games or not?
I'll have my season ticket no matter what. I support Trin, not superleague or the RFL. If the worst happens I'll look forward to meeting new sets of fans and going to new watering holes!

Yes i did see the game, which was a great example of good passionate rugby. It was played in front of 2 passionate sets of fans.

I'll gladly go to any of the above grounds again to support my team. I've enjoyed going to all the above grounds equally as the only reason I was there was to see the boys in action. I'll continue to buy a season ticket and I'll get the shirt every year. I support Wakefield trinity not the rfl. I'm in this for the long haul and I'll bring my kids up that way too

I was responding to a Wakey fan who appeared to be taking for granted your return to SL in 3 years. IMO if the RFL manage to lose one of us this time the chances of both Cas and Wakey ever again being in SL together are virtually nil. If Cas survive this time and move to GH before the next franchise round I see no way back for you. However in the likely event of us still being at WR you could be in line to replace us as I suspect NM will materialise by 2015.
In other words Cas have a hell of a lot to do with your future and any thread about it.

Out of the clubs sacrificed for SL first season it was us fev and Widnes I think we got back up after 3 seasons Widnes later and been successful in franchise this season.if we do go down I hope instead of sitting back and being bitter we take widneses example of doing what the RFL requires only win more matches than they have. We have everything set up for SL just stadium let's us down and hopefully that will be resolved when NM comes back from pi. I know the RFL wants a strong Wakefield in SL. I did watch the cc final yesterday good match watched by a good well behaved crowd. Season ticket for me whatever league Wakefield forever
i'll still be going with little un's but will miss the trip to catalan greatly! 5 years on the bounce and not even the chance of a trip to toulouse now.
