What happened to the months of things are at a delicate stage so we cant tell you. So if there is sweet F A left what is still delicate.

You want an apology for what, there is nothing in this statement that could be said to be accurate. The ground which I pointed out before the Catalan game had been sold to a developer not a group of residents from Agbrigg.
I would expect the club knew of the position, so you will need to ask yourself we now have no plan B unless we have done a deal with the developer and once we move out of Wakefield we will never return because we couldn't afford a new ground.
I would also say before you ask I did not see Carter because unlike many on here I have a life that is not ruled by Wakefield Trinity or this forum. I am afraid I do not know what you will do if any move does not work because you will have to go outside and possibly meet people not purely connected to the club.
If I choose I will speak to MC but currently the possibility of me attending any further games this season are slim. I do however look forward to the announcement when it comes, it's a shame they decided to tell the press of the sale of the ground before the supporters.

From what I can see, the club haven't said anything to the press. All they've done is put some old quotes into the article from MC about the ground and found out themselves it's been sold.

MC has said he has meetings about the stadium issue all week, the last being friday, so i wouldn't expect anything until after then when the situation is clearer.

Well if it's Dewsbury next season I'm in. Prob the same distance to get to as BV for me.

So am I but I do massively worry that many won't and I wouldn't be surprised if we lost 1000 or more fans off an already fairly small number. Although Sky money practically covers the Cap, that's the other big worry. Will we be spending less on players than we currently are, maybe not so much next season but seasons ahead (that's if we're still in SL in 2018). Conversely will a move to say Dewsbury cost us less rent than staying at Belle Vue. Also are the RFL going to be cool for a SL team playing out of a stadium of 5000 or whatever it is. Unless there's some cunning plan to expand it but then you run into who's gonna pay for the thing again. Don't envy MC one bit, seems a complete minefield.

Interesting piece in the YEP tonight, Belle Vue sold Wakefield Trinity considering their future?

Who knows, our gates might go up, travelling fans are more likely to.. er.. travel if they know they will have cover and a decent view.

Trinity fans might be surprised by how tidy the Tetleys stadium is and a smaller capacity ground might generate a bigger atmosphere.

Re: Ground : Tue Aug 16, 2016 7:31 pm  

Well if all the talks are done and we've ended up with nothing lets get all the truth out there from when the council pulled the plug on thornes park community stadium and introduced us to York court to NOW. Get it all out in the open don't care who we upset gets some skulls cracked and move on. When we all know what's happening and what gone on we should all stick together in support of sports facilities for our City and Club.

Man I thought I was fairly optimistic but even if say all that was to happen, how do we get around the 5100 capacity.Just looking, we've averaged 5034 this season, obviously some below that & some higher. No doubt it's a tidy little stadium but they also have uncovered terracing at their East Stand. Maybe we can move our Northstand roof over there, which would work with alterations.
