Think we need somebody from the trust to tell us what is exactly the state of play time is running out cos mc has given himself a month notice to decide

Good timing by the RL about Belle Vue not being up to standard.RL hedging their bets in case Whinos lose million pound game as they will then relegate Trinity due to state of ground and reinstate Whinos to Super League.

There was a precedent set for keeping someone in SL due to them having a "nice ground", also for iconic ground.
We dont qualify for either of these

Why do people think Dewsbury is the answer. The ground holds a maximum of 3500 not exactly acceptable. We could invest to improve the ground but why would we do this because it would not be of benefit to us in the long term, the money if we are would be better spent at Belle Vue.
I would also remind MC of what his good friend the Doctor said "that the worse thing they did was to move away from the Willows" because it destroyed the attendance due to the fact that those that were used to walking to the ground were lost probably never to return.

We don't own BV. Do keep up!

Re: Moving From Belle Vue.. : Mon Jul 04, 2016 5:50 pm  

This could be a really bad situation as our budget will be based on a certain level of crowd which will no doubt be above the capacity of Dewsburys ground and I suspect we would lose corporate and food and drink revenue as well

Re: Moving From Belle Vue.. : Mon Jul 04, 2016 6:52 pm  

Capacity is about 5.5k IIRC

Not ideal but not horrendous, cant be a long term solution though.

We may not own it but we generate income from it and you can believe what you like but money will need to be spent at Dewsbury to bring it up to the standard for SL. We cannot play at a ground with only a capacity of 3500 (according to the Dewsbury site) and any income will need to be shared due to the increased running costs of having two clubs operating from one ground.
I presume the academy will also need to play out of Dewsbury and should a reserves become mandatory them as well.

Big enough for the pathetic Wakefield public.

Is this the time for an organised mass picket outside Wakefield town hall naming and shaming a certain council leader, It's time that dictator was brought to task. This is my sixtieth year supporting this great team of ours and I'm not sure that I could suffer the shame of playing at a rugby league ground that is not even in the Wakefield Met District. A mass picket had an effect the last time that it was tried: maybe it would be now. 80,000 citizens in this city have been shafted by that clown Box and his lackies.
