Without getting holy, surely the good thing is that we are, doing as told, behaving better and generally trying to make up for the lies of the past.
That may well make a difference in the eyes of the RFL, that the new owner is exactly that, a NEW owner and not the scheister we had before.
However IF RW keeps leading them up the path (and i am not saying he is) then he will be less likely to be believed than AG if there are problems ahead.
Just my opinion of course, i cant see into the future, unlike neverdidadayshardworkinmylife, gronk the predictor and bigalf (you may not know him, he's usually on our forum), but surely its better to act responsibly, than to continue in such a shoddy way as we have done in the past.

By the looks of things they have been forced into it by the RFL.

“Erection of the stand covers is essential to the club’s continued membership of the Rugby Super League”

“The proposal is highly significant in terms of the continuation of the club within Super League.”

How do you work that out?

The plans were announced well before licenses were awarded.Glover committed to the improvements they were not "forced" on him by the RFL.

As for your other comments,pretty standard for a planning application to have "strong"justification notes,in the hope it encourages a postive outcome.

How dare Wakefield try to improve things for the fans and try and achieve what they said they would to the RFL.
Kick them out of Super League!?!?

Every now and then get confused: I click on "Castleford Tigers" in the list of forums, but seem to get diverted to the "Wakefield Trinity" board. Strange …

That's because you spend most of you're time on just one board.
Unfortunately for us, it's ours!!!

It doesn't get much more bitter and twisted than that folks!

The old regime was the old regime and AG is clearly trying to put fresh air between them and him by delivering on his promises - are you suggesting that WTW should remain forever damned for its past actions, or failures to act?

As for the second part of your daft post - yes, I certainly do think that the improvements that were promised in the franchise application and that will subsequently be carried out in January 2012 will equate to exactly the improvements that weren't just implied, but were outlined in detail.

Is there a particular reason that some of you seem determined to talk down these modest but important improvements to BV?
