I'd like the RFL to refuse to allow the move. If their ground holds 2000-2500 then let them get on with it. They are the model expansion club as thu have their own premises and have built themselves up from scratch, they'll lose an awful lot I respect and kudos if they attempt a switch.
They'll also not get much brass out of Wakefield either, I'd predict a very low crowd (sub 2k) if the price is £20+ and given hat we're not flush with cash I'd expect our expenses to be * cough * considerable.

That's the spirit, I'm sure you'll be made very welcome. Not sure why it's deemed impossible to stage it at Hemel, just because we're currently a SL side doesn't mean we expect special treatment and we'd be more than happy at Hemel. In fact I'm gutted we're not coming.
I don't think Belle Vue will do you any favours at all, it's a massive playing surface and that will only give us another advantage.

| We simply do not come up to RFL minimum standards for games involving SL clubs. I know we will be warmly welcomed at Belle Vue (although I was a Dons lad I used to watch Wakey as well)
BTW we play at our best on big flat pitches  |

I'd be interested to understand why the RFL think a SL side needs a higher standard of facility? Sport is 17 men against 17 men, and if Hemel have been accepted into the competition and indeed the professional ranks, then that's enough as far as I'm concerned.
I'm really disappointed at this. Hope it's a good day for Hemel, and that the revenue is used wisely.

If you like big flat pitches we ought to move the game to Odsal, just so we have an advantage

That's a good shout, an iconic neutral venue owned by the RFL.
