Wakefield were, as Carter recounts, living “hand-to-mouth” to try to eradicate losses of almost a million pounds a year before his takeover. “That day, that one game, that’s how close Wakefield Trinity were to disappearing,” he says. Wakefield beat Bradford 24-16 to preserve their Super League status and while this Sunday may be similar in terms of atmosphere and fanfare, the prize on offer is much more satisfying. By their own admission, Trinity desperately need to escape a ground which fails to meet RFL standards soon or they could be ejected from Super League. I hope it can become a reality.” If it does, the sky could be the limit for Wakefield.
