Quote: vastman "Agree with all the above.
Just like to point out that when the four of us started SWAG the original hope was to upgrade BV. There was not one of us who wanted to leave, ditto the board. However it quickly became apparent that if we were to give the club a viable future which included new fans and investors there was only one way forward.
As TRB says I'd be happy to go to BV forever but clearly nowhere near enough Wakefield residents shared that opinion. At the end of the day the club should never be run at the whim of individuals and SWAG were certainly never going to follow an agenda that put the needs of ourselves above the needs of the club. Radical action was required IMHO and hopefully the potential needs of the future majority were put ahead of the needs of the existing and eventual minority.
I think the saddest thing of all which clearly demonstrates how far BV has fallen is that in all honesty (the pitch aside) there isn't one item in the ground worth rescuing. Says it all for me.
I'd like to incorperate something of BV into the new ground but frankly I can't think what. Let's hope the Architects use a little bit of imagination and give the stadium some degree of originality to set it above the recent shed like look of new grounds.'"
If i may say thats a point thats sadly overlooked at times.
