I do wonder what Dewsbury will make of it. They might end up with a slightly improved ground, but the casual rugby fan might prefer to turn out for Super League than the Championship.

I was just thinking the same. How will this effect them in both the short and maybe the long term, especially like you say when there is an option to watch a SL side on a weekend. It's a big decision for them as well. I suppose it depends what we bring to the party and if it outweighs any loss of casuals fans.

Does anyone know the official Capacity. In Wiki it says 5100 but in other places it says 3500

Some real sense being talked on here now .Great if we could own share of stadium to give us a feel of 'belonging'. Even the feelings of resignation people understandably have can be channelled into positivity. Could unite the fans and enable us all to put up two fingers to all against us. This would be especially enhanced if this difficult period could be eased by continued improvement on the field of play.

Some people mention what has Sir Rodney Walker done, well from where I view things ,sweet FA

Not sure about that, i bet YC are very happy with his work so far.

The whole thing is a mess. I really do not know how the likes of TRB etc manage to keep going with it all.

Id like to lay the blame totally at YC/WMDC's door, but all the previous owners and the general public of Wakefield need to take some responsibility. MC is doing the best he can with the cards he has been dealt but i bet there is not a day goes by where he doesn't regret ever getting involved!

If Dewsbury is our only hope then so be it, although like most, i cant say i'm happy at the prospect.

Are we not doing what many on here have ridiculed with regards to London. Why would Dewsbury want to give us a share and is it their ground to do so.
You all blame the council and the developer but aren't we giving them just what they want. What happened to the money saved by reducing the rent because it was not spent on the ground.

We are not giving the developer or the council anything. We have no choice its a battle we have lost we have been out manoeuvred by their unscrupulous and shameless behaviour. I see this as a tactical withdrawal , we are still fighting and the war is still there to win.

Dewsbury might not be a bad thing (imo) NM is dead,BV is not fit and we are only tenants.Good ground with abit of work,Only down the road,Its as good as been in wakefield,NM was nearly in leeds and we still get to watch our team.Cant see much else on offer.Its the only good apple in the barrel,I will support it if that's what it takes.Yours a wakefield trinity supporter.

It's Dewsbury then come let's do it ,no more gun against our heads ,f em !!

Re: Moving From Belle Vue.. : Fri Jul 08, 2016 6:56 pm  

Dewsbury will be a disaster for this club, and that's speaking as someone who would follow Trinity there. No good will come out of it long term.

However I concede there doesn't seem to be another option. Carter won't put the money in, not enough fans would put the money in and the council certainly won't either.

The stadium and land surrounding it is owned by Dewsbury Rams.
If you haven't been there for a while you'll be surprised at the work that has been done over the last few years.
There is a new terrace behind the posts on the owl lane end and an excellent electronic scoreboard. The stadium has also been kept in an excellent standard, ie painting and new turnstiles.
When Wigan visited in the cup this season, the fans thought the stadium was fantastic.
Once the other end behind is the posts is finished it will look great
