What is it with Phill Clarke (Boots n All tonight) and his insistence on banging on about merger / groundshare at Cas's GH stadium?



Phil, Cas HAVE NOT GOT a new stadium and the best thing that could happen to us? (according to him) We get chucked out of Super League because we have done nothing but limp along for the past few years. Phil, we have new owners, the fresh start starts HERE

.

What about Eddie am a ?anker Hemmings. all he could say is look Wakefield are the one that every body says should go.Just would not shut up about it. yes some one should tell Clarke we have never been out of super league, he thinks we have.

Hope the club saw that, and invite him and a few cameras down to visit and see all the extra work that is going on behind the scenes with the new ownership.



Not that Sky would ever show a positive Wakey piece, mind, but it would be nice to see!

we can do wuth out that bloody lot. Its a good job the man with no hair was not on, he would have had a field day

Together they are plonkers. Together we are stronger

I am not sure, Stevo often seems to have a bit of a soft spot for us IMO.

True, but people's perception of a club is worth a lot, and whilst it can't be changed overnight it hardly helps to have those idiots banging on about how crap we are does it? Yes they are clueless, but strangely people do listen to them.



A friendly invitation to spend the day at Belle Vue with the players, coach, community team, chairman and owner, with the idea of bringing cameras along and saying "look at all of the good things we're doing" would be a very professional thing to do. Since we now have people in charge who are capable of having good ideas and promoting the club it would be nice to see. Too often the Sky team are just lazy - the information is there for them to use but they seem like they can't be bothered as it's easier to just bash us again and again. If they were provided with the information and one of the team actually spent the day with the club then it would be more difficult to miss.



(I see it as being a bit like the people who were dead against the Thornes Park stadium, for the sole reason that they hadn't bothered to read the plans, so had just assumed the park would be destroyed. They could have looked up the information, but to them it was "why bother?" Had they been presented with the plans by those in charge they might have realised they were wrong about a couple of issues, but obviously it's impossible to do that when there's a whole city who just can't be bothered to read)

You are joking

Good post

Good call - the professional way to respond to reports like this not to moan about the injustice; rather, seize the opportunity to correct any misperceptions.

Have taped it...sorry Sky + it so can not comment. To be fair I think Clarke talks alot of sense normally, having met him at a Challenge Cup Final at Millenium and he bought aload of us he went up in my estimation !!! But he is so Wigan biased its unbelievable.



As for Hemmings he is a Widnes supporter so i rest my case !!

Not too long ago Clarke was flavour of the month on here. Amazing how quickly that changes.
