In those circumstances who in their right mind would throw our already limited finances up against a wall fixing up a money pit.

I am as emotionally attached to Belle Vue as anyone and I'm filthy over the fraud, deceit and corruption that's put us in this situation but I can't see a way out other than to move us to Dewsbury and continue the fight from there.

What we've all got to do is 'out' Peter Box and his gang of bandits.

Enough said Avenger

Jon, it would be interesting to know where you feel we came unstuck?

Was it a previous chairman selling the ground to himself then mortgaging it and it being repossessed. The clubs only true asset!

Was it a private developer getting over 100 acres of green belt land lifted out of green belt for industrial development, on the back of promising a community stadium for the citizens of Wakefield, and then reneging on that part?

Your views are of genuine interest

If you read my post I actually did not say it was just during your tenure but over many years that the ground as been allowed to deteriorate.
I agree it was wrong what Ted did but he did it without our knowledge.
I note that you refer to the private developer rather than the council for breaking their promises.

I actually feel you have a very difficult period ahead because the great club that is Wakefield Trinity and it's future is down to the decisions you make over the next few weeks. I hope you make the correct ones because I wouldn't want to be the man that presided over the demise of our club after over

I would also point out that whoever provided you with my name it is John I am not French. We may see each other on the golf courses of the Algarve which I visit quite often, and with you requesting that I no longer attend games I will have more weekends free.

I would suggest you try to play Victoria or the Old Course rather than Pinal, you will find them much more challenging however the best in that area are the three Quinta courses.

Said similar to the first couple of paragraphs & also completely agree to the highlighted.

So, once again, no actual solutions. Just a readiness to jump down my throat, when you have the benefit of hindsight in a few weeks time. There's one decision I should make, which you would be delighted with, but for now, I fight on, without the benefit of your crystal ball

And apologies, for mis-spelling your name. See you in Wrenthorpe club

Re: Ground : Tue Aug 16, 2016 10:09 pm  

Well from what I read there and I haven't tweeted my "pal", MC might make the decision to walk away, shame on you Trin fans who've lambasted him.

Re: Ground : Tue Aug 16, 2016 10:16 pm  

Wish folk would get off your back Michael. You have been a real shining light for us. Many posters on here don't contribute just give blah blah blah and offer as you say no solutions nothing. I wont say what i think of our previous chairman i will get banned. Anyone remember the 1000 quid off 500 people he was asking? Chin up Michael we are behind you and anything us fans can be doing let us know. Im ready to march through the city with some banners and im sure 1000 wakey fans would be also given the call to do so.Whats a wrestling firm without a ring that maybe us shortly

I didn't think I had said anything that could be considered as jumping down your throat. I was actually agreeing that you now have a very difficult decisions because the loss of Belle Vue will limit your options and supporters will accept a temporary move if there is the possibility of a return.
I didn't even know Wrenthorpe had a club and for Jinjer I know you play golf in Portugal because you refer to it, nothing clever about that you can tell him.
If I see you I will certainly introduce myself, I know I bet you can't wait.

I agree, lets be right they're idiots but thankfully they're just a very small percentage of Trinity fans. I just hope that those faceless nameless few won't put off MC from doing his job because the vast majority know what a excellent job he's done & I hope he knows that.
