...yes yes I suppose breeding XL bullies is a job.

Just not as busy as when you used to be a big club, eh?

It's funny to hear somebody from Bradford being patronising about Agbrigg...it has its share of problems, but they pale in comparison to Bradfords. I don't actually live in Agbrigg, but regularly wander through when I walk into the city centre. Reminds me of where I grew up, rough and ready but friendly enough, as long as you weren't too snotty nosed.

Glad to hear you've got a job, somebody needs to pay for the pension increases I've been getting.

The new stand etc. don't count for a great deal. If it was so heavily weighted towards the stadium York wouldn't be so far behind on IMG points.

It's just a fact Wakefield have been chosen for automatic promotion after which it will be closed shop making this championship season pointless for everyone else.

I'm not enough of an expert on the IMG farce to comment on those points. If they're correct, I can understand your bitterness...but what would you be saying if the roles were reversed, and Bradford in their iconic stadium were 'the chosen ones'?

I wish it was us. I'd snap IMG's hand off.

Retied eh? Smart move following ban on XL bullies. Just living off the proceeds of your cannabis grow?

Surely, those in the top flight should have a heavy advantage over those in the lower leagues ?
As for "viewership", Trinity were rarely on TV and not at all now.
We do quite well on finance though :wink:

Wakefield aren't a top flight club. You might still think you are but you aren't until you're stinking out the place again next year.

We also do well on finance or are the rules different for us and they have to go back into ancient history?

Funny you want to go back into the mists of time to point out the times other clubs have gone bust but not the times your own went bust.

I know wakefield is like the land that time forgot but let's stick to the here and now shall we?

Lawrence is key IMO. Need to keep calm in the opening 20 minutes.

I know Baldwinson isnt back in the first team squad yet but how did he look for the reserves?

It's a bridge too far though - boosted by the promise of guaranteed promotion the new wankfield owner has been given the guarantee to enable him to splash the cash on a loss making full time super duper squad.

If we run them close it would be a big boost to our confidence with players due to back in the race to finish second.


I think you need to read the details again.
We are not guaranteed anything.

If we get enough points it's because people have worked hard in areas that get us more points than those around us in the IMG table.
