'possibly the most important in the clubs history' AG is playing a dangerous game raising our expectations in this manner for if we are let down he will have lost a good deal of good will that caomes withthe 'wet paint'.

I'm sufficiently knarled by previous and similar announcements to feel the need to urge caution and whilst AG deserves to be trusted and believed until proven otherwise one can't help concluding that either way this will indeed be an important date for the clubs.

Andrew Glover today "I have announced that we are having a meeting on the 8th of June with all our fans welcome. I hope that you can make it down to Cedar Court and can guarantee that you won’t be disappointed in what you see and hear."

Only time will tell...

Bought Bell Vue back and showing what he plans to do with it.

A cul-de-sac towards the St Catherine Street end with townhouses and apartments along the other try line.

Certainly something that crossed my mind yesterday!

Wakefield Trinity Sporting Club

The best thing about this is that no one on here is in the loop so to speak. Everyone is guessing and speculating as to what the news could be. I've been in touch with a couple of employees of the club and they don't even know (or if they do they've been sworn to secrecy - my gut feeling is they haven't got a clue). Things are being run much more professionally now and I'm glad the only proper info we are now getting comes directly from the club itself. No more sneaking snippets of info out to people to post on here in order to judge fans reaction to plans (I know for a fact this went on). Things are being done properly and we are now a business not just a rugby club. Can't wait for today, can't wait for les cats and can't wait for the meeting. Onwards and upwards come on boys you can do it!

I feel that the planning issues would be the 'stumbling block' here, but you never know.
The talk of a new site means that a stadium at Newmarket would then become redundant and it could be used for warehousing totally - less expenditure (£20m) for Yorkcourt and more revenue streams from businesses. Perhaps Yorkcourt will then throw some money into the ground development pot?

If my memory serves me correctly, the temporary stands don't need the same level of planning approval and could easily be in place for next season.

If we have reached an agreement with whoever owns Belle Vue to either rent it for the next 2 or 3 years or even to buy it back and then put temp stands up. We might not require Oakwell as a plan B especially since the RFL have expressed their wish for us not to vacate the Wakefield area even temporarily.

I have always said moving out of wakefield would be an issue with the RFL, glad you have now backed this up.

On the basis that Oakwell was never officially announced, I can't see "we're staying at Belle Vue until Newmarket is built" merits the hype given.
