There seems to be a general consensus of everybody is against us from Wakefield supporters.

Not really, we have a few who moan but most are like any other fans. There is a bit of a siege mentality at Wakey but that is not the same thing nor is it a bad thing it works for us. I think a lot of this boils down to a couple of games Klien reffed in which some people confused Kliens poor performance with Leeds brilliance on the night and got a bit carried away. I think we all shudder at the infamous petition idea But all fans get carried away and forget that despite our percieved opinion on the ref the other team still had to beat us and did.
My general opinion on Leeds fans on here is that they are a bit arrogant and won't give credit where it is due. This I think is partly due to a siege mentality you yourselves used to have when you were branded the great under achievers. However I'm sure they are in the minority.
My general opinion on the Leeds club is that they have done exceptionally well in the last 10 years, especially considering the previous 20 years of abject failure. You are now a credit to the game.
However some Leeds fans need to be a little bit humble and at least accept they are a club that already has a large advantage over the rest.
Leeds is a massive city and a wealthy one. Since the demise of United you face little competition in the huge population area you control. You have a lot of money and you always have. Headingley is no longer the best stadium in RL but it's still a prize asset. None of this is your fault or anything to be ashamed of or for others to criticise it's just a fact of life.
Wakefield is a small city who's supporter base is spilt into three.
Truth is if Trinity get a new stadium, develop a great youth system, get a good sponsor and attract crowds similar to you in percentage terms and do everything right. We will still be hard pressed to compete all that often. Especially nowadays where money counts more than ever.
I can live with it so long as we get credit when we deserve it. We deserved it on friday, so called bigger and better teams will lose at Headingley by bigger margins that us. We gave you a game and that is all anyone can ask for from the opposition team.
