Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Sorry if this has already been covered but as there will not be any real news until January or later I can not bring myself to read all the pages about Newmarket.
I thought when the ground was sold we were told we could play there until a new stadium was built no matter how long it takes. Do we know who bought it? I assumed it was more a transfer to one of Teds companies to help the balance sheet.
Can we stay where we are and play in the championship which is what I would prefer to a slow death sharing with Cas at their new ground? Can we wait a year or three until Newmarket is built and hope to get back to super league no matter how small that chance is or will the stadium be removed from the development plans with us out of Super League? Could we as a lower league club pay the rent on Newmarket on lower gates?
I can not see a long term future if we do not have our own ground or a very long lease to use Newmarket. I would prefer Super League but the main thing for me is to stay in business and play as Wakefield.

I sincerely hope that many of this type will not be able to lay their hands on a ticket, ones like my mate who has supported Wakefield for years but took his bat home after the Crusaders game at home last season. He reckons he will only ever come back for the last game at Belle Vue. Mate or no mate, I hope the 'rsole doesn't get a ticket.
While we're at it another thing that gets on my threepenny bits is going into a pub in the Wakey area after a game and people saying "how did we go on?". . You have been sat on your arris in the pub so you are not part of the 'we' until you get off said arris and put some brass down at a turnstile on match day/night.
Rant over.

the best answer to the " how did we get on" question is to say," if you were that interested you would have gone" that was my usual reply to the same question going home from the mac | | | |

I'm not actually from Wakey, it's a long story so I won't go into how I ended up supporting them (I certainly can't be called a glory hunter). I've been supporting them for abot 14 years, season ticket holder for ten and attend a lot of away games as well. Anyone that knows me will tell you how passionate I am about the club.
What really amazes me is the amount of people I've seen around the pubs in rhinos shirts that are from Wakefield, they actually have the cheek to take the mick out of the Wakey supporters.
Unfortunately, the attitude of a lot of people in the city is they'd rather spend the £20 on something else (drink?) and then they'll sit and tell you who played well etc!  | | |

Sadly this is an all too common tale, they all have reasons why they don't support the club, it would seem more fans watch Wakey on SKY than actually attend games on that day.
They are the missing link i'm afraid. | | | |
