Just signed it , but the other two in our household would do the same if you could use the same email address ( or am I being thick? - 'tis Saturday night) . One per household doesn't seem like a fair representation to me .

Signed - always liked visiting BV.

Now on 535.

Liked as in the past tense? Is that wishful thinking?

Not surprisingly things have slowed down a little but we now have 538 signatories which is fantastic after only 2 days.

If you have not yet signed it please do. If you have many thanks and pass it on to anyone you know who would be interested in signing.

Thanks.

Just done, 570 now

Quote Sandal Cat="Sandal Cat"As you are all aware Belle Vue does not belong to the Club but is owned by the Bank of Ireland/Receiver with the Club paying rent to play there. There is a risk that the Receiver could sell the ground which already has planning consent for housing which would leave us “homeless” and put the whole future of the Club in jeopardy. Consequently the Supporters Trust, with the Clubs agreement, has applied to the Council to have Belle Vue listed as an “Asset of Community Value”. This would mean that the ground could not be sold without the knowledge of the Trust and the Community would be given a 6 month option to buy the ground and keep its use for the benefit of the Community and secure the future of Wakefield Trinity. The Manchester United Supporters Trust have successfully got Old Trafford listed. The Council considered the application and have deferred the decision because they wish to see evidence of support for the listing from the community/supporters. We have therefore set up an e-petition on the Councils web site and we urge all supporters to sign the petition. It can be found at : mg.wakefield.gov.uk/mgEPetitionD ...

There is a great deal going on with Newmarket/Belle Vue at the moment but it is of a sensitive and confidential nature at the moment so cannot be revealed on a public forum but we hope we can say something shortly. Signing the petition does not mean that redeveloping Belle Vue is the only option being considered. Both Newmarket and Belle Vue options are on the table but by supporting the petition will buy us time and at least ensure that the option of redeveloping Belle Vue remains.

Don't mind at all. I'm a member of the group myself.

I'm a member too.
It might add some weight if we get some old photos of Belle Vue and add them in.

I think there is an old picture of BV on the site that has appeared before.

No wishful thinking on my part Jinge- I should have said "always like" instead of "liked" - my mistake.

I signed the petition because I would hate to think WTW could end up homeless and lead a nomadic existence like London, Swinton and Sheffield.

As I have always said on here Tigers need Wakey in SL and vice versa - the crowds have always been good for these fixtures. I would much prefer WTW in SL than Fev and to keep SL status you need a permanent home.

I know Tigerade, I was just being naughty.
