If you don't like this thread why don't you just stop reading it? Maybe it is fantasy land about the stadium but a lot of people are outraged at WMDC's conduct during this process and are hoping for comeuppance for some of those involved even if we don't get what we were promised! I for one await the call to arms!

NO! you are in the minority - lots of people have put countless hours into the stadium project and to ignore it would be a complete injustice and lack of appreciation to them.
We knew it would be a long fight so we should keep grinding away - not go away!

Some people come on here just to massage their egos

And some people come on here being y because they daren't at home.

Quite.

Obviously I cannot prove it but I genuinely believe I am in the majority in simply wanting to turn up once a fortnight at Belle Vue and be entertained by a Wakefield Trinity Rlfc team. I don't want to have to catch two buses to sit in an over priced seat in a soulless stadium next to a motorway. I am not interested in all the politics and the endless secret meetings . I firmly believe 80 percent of seaon ticket holders agree with me but a vocal few on here will try to say otherrwise.

The problem Ball in Hand is how the hell to you grow the club while ever it is at BV in its present state. We may have 1000 season ticket holders and maybe 2,500 fans. You may attract another 500 if we won a few games and you may get another 500 in if we could afford to spend thousands on community programmes, dance classes, school liaison schemes etc. You are simply not going to get new people attending games at BV. Add to that away fans will choose which games to attend, on a budget BV will be at the bottom of the list. So how you expect the club to survive with a few of you turning up once a fortnight I simply cannot work out. Add to that there is zero interest in the club from local residents in BV area. A move to NM would base the club within a local population who are interested in the game, plus away fans could enjoy modern facilities in comfort and safety. All this means added income, growth and better players.

All I can say Belly is where is your evidence that the club will grow at NM ? My evidence is simple . Look at what has happened to Salford since the move to the AJ Bell. It's not working even with a money bags chairman ' We should look to gradually improve BV over ten year period starting with the Western Terrace if and when funds become available .

Great call to renovate Belle Vue. Just one thing though, we don't own it!

That's a bit rich, where is your evidence that 80% of the season ticket holders agree with you?

What about the upturn in fortunes experienced by Warrington, Hull FC and even Wigan after they moved to new stadiums, Salford is actually the anomaly not the rule.

We need to move, I don't think Newmarket is the right place either but we cannot stay at Belle Vue, it's killing us!

If I had the choice I'd move us to Denby Dale Rd near the new service station.

You have a chance of growing the club at NW, you have the 100% certainty that the club will fold if it has to stay at BV. The Salford move has been poorly managed, am I correct in thinking that when Sale play there it is sold out ? Good management is all thats required to grow the club at NM. Alan Sugar couldn`t get growth out of BV and the surrounding hole that is Agbrigg.
