Many of you who want to turn your backs on the game will not be able to stay away. I should know I was right there. Thing is, that would only be punishing Wakefield. You might feel bitter but stick with it, the championship is a decent little league and you're better off supporting the club because they'll need you now more than ever.

Can't see any reason to change the habit of a lifetime, tbh. Circumstances change, but I've always enjoyed going to games, no matter which league we were in. Having met quite a few people off this forum over the years, the enjoyment has increased. It's a good laugh, a few hours out of the daily routine, a few beers with some good lads and lasses, bit of a shout, bit of unwinding, and tops when we win. No reason to change that at all.

Agreed!

The Championship, by whatever name it was then, is where Trinity were when I first started following.
SL has been a very mixed affair for us all. Semi CC, Semi play off (robbed), many great victories, and many heavy hearted defeats. Many flirtations with relegation, but never finishing in a relegation spot.

If, as it would seem will happen, we find ourself in the next tier down, then so be it.
It is a very unfair world we live in, and not just in RL, or sport in general.

Over the last few seasons, going to games at Batley, Dewsbury, Hunslet, Barrow, Fev, etc, (not just games involving Trin) and watching our Academy sides,
has given me a realisation that RL life outside of SL is very attractive.

If we go down, it is the staff, players and others at the club who have done their utmost to present a case for continued SL participation I will feel for.
Tomorrow's decision will not affect my job, and I will be able to watch Trinity next season wherever they play.

I will sleep OK tonight, and if by some quirk we remain in SL, I will be so pleased for those that made it so.
If , as I expect, we go down, then I will not hold it against any other club or it's fans.

As a club we have had long enough, unfortunately our new owners have not.

As a footnote, am I right in saying the night we beat Cas to stay up we had 2 players in the 17 who qualified for GB

That's a great post my friend - sensible, sobering and very dignified.

Is booting a Welshman a new Olympic sport?

Pilchard...top post!True fan.
Yup will stand by our club whatever later today brings. Been to more games this year than previous years home and away, some highs, les cats and hull fc away and lows (hull kr). Not gonna desert now whatever the decision. Our club needs us in the bad times as well as the good. Spare a thought for the lads n lasses at the club,we may lose a franchise they could lose their jobs.
