What a state the club is in! Nice to see new signings this week, a glimmer of hope remains... but even if we do stay up, the future looks bleak. Without serious investment in the club or the sport as a whole, I dont see how we can have a successful, sustainable future in top flight rugby. I hope MC and his team can turn our fortunes around and wish the club the best of luck in the months to come!

To move out of Wakefield is risky enough but to have no plan to return will signal the end. I doubt even the majority of our rose tinted brigade would follow under these circumstances.

I think some kind of plan must be in place. I'm of the glass half full brigade you seem to be the glass half empty and whilst I can't blame you I prefer to look on the more positive side

For me this move (notice on the ground) is a calculated gamble. Michael Carter is an accountant and as such if imagine he will only gamble when he feels the odds are in his favour. Still a risky move but I do believe a contingency plan will be in place. Could turn out to be a real master stroke if the result is lower rent at belle vue. If it doesn't go to plan then most away fans will be happy to never have to set foot in belle vue again so won't have an excuse for not turning up at wherever we end up playing.

Cannot believe what I read on here! Some of the most prolific posters do not seem to realise that they are a tiny tiny minority of the people who come to games. Crowds are dwindling not just due to poor performances but also to MCs attitude to supporters. Just banning drinks being brought in to the ground lost fans, changing the kick off time lost more, doing away with student tickets lost more , reducing the concession age from 65 to 60 lost more. All of these changes done without consultation with supporters. Now he is prepared to take the club out of the city. Do you really think everyone will accept that! I know someone will post on here that there is no alternative yet only a few weeks ago MC made a statement on the club website about how we would be able to spend more money on players next season because of increased sky money. ? No mention then about not being able to pay the rent. ? What has changed. ?

With Dewsbury putting a 4th stand in at the moment it might be an option. It does lack tv facilities but would be low cost to rent. Barnsley ticks all boxes apart from being way too big. But I suppose Huddersfield got away with it for years rattling around their stadium. Not sure how it would work with the income with the boxes.

Has anyone mentioned Fev?

According to this weeks Wakefield Express MC indicated that he would be taking the club further away than Fev or Cas.

Is there a ground in Knottingley?

We seem to have a good relationship with Doncaster

Doncaster can only attract a few hundred for its own team!!! Nice ground but 23 miles away seems a little too far methinks.

I wonder if cost is more important than distance, within reason of course and Doncaster would not be one of those. I say again you would be facing sporting oblivion if the club does not have a plan to return to Wakefield and a fixed timescale or people will think the move is just to bury Wakefield Trinity and replace it with who knows what.
I suppose we will get the usual hints but nothing concrete and as per usual the ones who will not be consulted are those that pay to support the club. How can people buy season tickets if they don't know where they will be expected to travel to which could be the case because our notice period at BV does not expire until the end of December.

Next year we could be Super Leagues advert for expansion?
No ground and able to play anywhere, because the RFL don't want us anyway!
Cheap way to get what they want.
Think people need to give their heads a shake before putting 2+2 together and getting 'homeless'.
