You've more chance on winning the lotto this weekend than getting answers to those questions.

| Personally i think moving to newmarket would be suicide for us and the only team to benefit would be wakey, hopefully we never have to find out.

Agreed Pyeman. It needs putting to bed by the club ASAP IMO. The uncertainty is causing unrest with some of the fans but I can understand the club wanting to keep its options open.
Maybe they are waiting for a clearer indication on which way the game is heading. i.e. P&R and less emphasis on ground development, a reduction in SL teams and so on.

| The latest 'rumoured' plan doing the rounds is that the training pitch and car park is to be sold off for housing to finance some vital ground improvements at WR.

Been doing the rounds for quite a while that one. Cannot see it happening myself. We cannot sell the ground so why try and sell part of it ? Who would want to live on the door step of a RL stadium anyway ?

Would be used for 'affordable housing' I should guess. They are not going to build these types of developments in leafy suburbs as the land prices would be too high, somewhere like the training ground would be the type of area they would target.

39793_1491679334.jpg "Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"
"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39793.jpg |

| I could understand selling off the car park next to the training pitch for "affordable housing "and using part or all of the pitch for parking, but that would not raise much to "improve" the ground. Essential repairs and a make-over only.

| If you're looking at housing that won't generate anywhere near the money you need for a new stadium of your own.
If you move to NM from the start I think you have a chance of establishing a "ground share" mentality, ie neither ours nor yours. If you come late to the party (any later than May IMO) the ground will forever be seen as the home of Wakefield Trinity.
Although if you'd prefer to go to Donny.

That would raise about £3m. Wouldn't even build us a new stand.

That ship sailed long ago. Not a cat in hell's chance.
