If the club had the cash to do that I'd rather save the money and looked at somewhere in Wakefield to lay down roots.
Whilst I support Trinity, I do so because they're from Wakefield, otherwise why would I bother supporting a failing club when just 9 miles away we have the Leeds Rhinos. The comparison with Leeds United is a misnomer, there is no comparable alternative for peoples to support who are based in Wakefield.
Dewsbury for a short term of one or two years I could live with and I think he club could survive, long term I have my doubt. I suppose another way to look at it would be whether a Sunderland fan would be happy to go watch his team (if the SOL had just be taken away from them) play at Newcastle, Gateshead or Hartlepool for an unspecified length of time without any assurances they would return.
I'm the opposite.
If we had a proper stake in the place (especially if it were 51%) and a 10,000 capacity, then it puts us exactly where we want to be.
Dewsbury is equally accessible as Newmarket would have been (unless you live in Stanley) and it's already used to having match day traffic etc and with
a more willing partner (in Kirklees Council) maybe we could start building the club again.
It's quite interesting that some Towns & Cities value their sporting organisations and are happy to work with them and help them and yet Mr Box & Co dont give a damn, in fact, they seem positively unhelpful.
I still remember the comment from Mr Box when Sandal spoke to him during a phone in on Radio Leeds.
The utter contempt that he had for Newmarket still annoys me when we talk about new grounds.
IF the council had wanted Newmarket to happen, no doubt the big white box wouldn't have been allowed on adjacent land etc and things could have started to move forward.
As it is, we are, once again, in limbo.
I'll take anywhere (apart from Cas) although, I would admit that we should be in Wakefield. However, it appears that we are not wanted ??
