Please - in what ways would ground sharing with anybody, let alone Dewsbury or Rovers, be a positive step? Wakefield Trinity and the city of Wakefield need a good, fit for purpose, modern(ish) stadium. Full stop! Unfortunately, the council doesn't seem to think that way and the WE doesn't seem to think that way. So who's fighting our corner?
TRB, Sandalcat etc you've been doing a great job in extremely difficult and frustrating circumstances. Please, what's the next step or steps and how can ordinary supporters (including those like me who don't live in the city) do to help??? There are lots of ideas for emails to all and sundry, protests at the cycling, legal action etc but action needs to be planned and coordinated. Anything I can do to help for one - count me in. Too much pessimism about Trinity dying. The club might be on its knees but we're not dead yet and where there's life there's hope. As an aside and for a start - every fan on here should be buying tickets for the Leigh match and encouraging others to do so. Let's fill BV, give the lads some support and get a bit of cash in to the coffers. It's "Wakefield 'till I die", not "Wakefield 'till I or the club dies whichever comes first"!!!!!

This.

Don't worry we are looking at what we do next and we are prepared to do whatever is needed to give this club a long and sustainable future within Wakefield.

Wakefield Trinity has been part of my family's life for 4 generations as it will have been for many so I'm prepared to fight for it as I'm sure many of you are as well.

You can guarantee that we are not going to let this lie.

Good to hear Sandal Cat….count us in.

Re: Public Meeting Confirmed for 22nd April - Cats : Sat Apr 25, 2015 4:29 pm  

Great to hear Sandal Cat. Like you, I've got memories of my dad and granddad at BV. My great granddad played for Trinity (pre 1895). WTRLFC is in my DNA. I've witnessed EPIC sporting occasions involving Trinity and/or BV: we cannot just say, "Well, it was good while it lasted, but that's the end of top level rugby league in Wakefield". Let us, all supporters, know what we can do to help. In this situation we really are stronger together!!!

I've just had a reply from an Email I sent to Andrea Jenkyns (Tory candidate) . She has given her full support also saying she wants to attend any up and coming meetings. Was she invited to the meeting on Wednesday?

Don't know if she had a direct invite but I know that TRB met with her and I'm sure he would have mentioned the meeting. In any event it was a Public open meeting and she would have been welcome to attend. There were UKIP Councillors and candidates at the meeting who all expressed their support for our cause.

Nice to hear that she is supporting us.

I said ground sharing 'if we had to'.
As in no money to continue to pay rent for Belle Vue or BOI securing permission to sell ground.
Both of which could lead to the demise of the club.
I am certainly no quitter!
I have written to numerous media outlets and politicians and will be supporting Trinity as I have for over 60 years!

I've had a right old pop at two Labour canvasers who knocked my door this morning!

Went through the stadium situation thread to needle, they couldn't wait to get away from me
