We follow a team that has won “Jack All” for a couple of generations, even our most recent major cup final memory was a dull defeat in the C.C (rightly dubbed one of the worst) if you can call 1979 recent .


As opposed to Bradford, with their multi-trophy winning domination & all hardly back in the mists of time.


I’d take Bradford’s plight every day of the week, relegation or no, the memories of seeing your team lift those trophies are priceless, you lot really don’t know how lucky you’ve been in recent decades supporting a successful club.


Don’t get me wrong, supporters of some teams have had it worse than us, but none are in SL, as Wakefield fans we have far the biggest cross to bear of all the professional teams, bar none .

so nicely put

Stop it before it turns into the "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch! "You were lucky!"

we play Bradford away, if we beat them at Odsal and beat London at home then I genuinely think we can survive.

That would be a total of 4 wins in a season on that tally we don't deserve to be in SL

Totally agree Jack in the box, sad reflection on the modern game.

How can it possibly, as I’ve already stated no one in S.L can top us.

All that success 10+ years ago seems like 20 or 30 years ago now and doesn't help us in our current plight. I was there before then and know what it's like to be struggling thanks.

What I actually meant was that I'd rather be in your position in the table, with a stronger squad on paper like yours. I'm sure once you get a better coach you'll pick up a few wins and stay up. Please hang on to Agar
