| Ok, I'll bite!
We don't own BV.
We don't own SB.
We don't have PP for BV.
There is little room for parking at BV.
We have no funding for BV.
BV is in a run down location away from the Motorways.
BV requires detailed site investigation and, no doubt, a myriad of Groundworks and demolition to create space for anything new.
BV will still be a difficult site to manage.
Apart from all that, it's easy!
If someone had told me 12 years ago that we could have £10m to spend on BV, and we owned the ground, then I wouldn't be here now as there would have been no campaign, no SWAG. They didn't, and we all knew that either the council puts in or we find a development to piggy-back our way to better facilities! We eventually found our way to NM and we are still owed a debt from this. Until such time as that debt is made good we will continue to pursue it.
I did not put that petition together to dupe the people of Wakefield. We did not get 15,000 people to support it for no reason, or to have a big white box built with no pay-back!
I love BV, warts and all, but unless there is a minor miracle, the only deal we have is one that provides a new stadium at NM or a future of 'make do and mend' at BV, which is frankly unsustainable in the longer term.
I read, and take note of, all the comments on here and don't wish to pee on anyone's bonfire, but the chances of a 'perfect storm' occurring to allow BV to become the destination of our new facilities are very slim IMO - and that is from first hand knowledge of discussions surrounding the idea.
Nothing is set yet, but please do not lose focus on NM - if you walk away from that deal you will lose ANY chance of anything anywhere!
As for letting Fev win that game in '98 and winning trophies - sod that! We're Wakefield Trinity Wildcats and we play in Super League!

| What, the land we will all be kicking ourselves about in a few years time saying; "I wish we'd had some money when that was up for sale. We could have built training facilities and new offices on there." That land?

The same people who own the gym - the last time I looked, the whole site was up for about a million quid, but that was last year, when the gym was still a going concern; don't know what the current status is.

Heard a rumour and I stress it is only that, that Lidl had made an offer for the land and the club had also made an offer as well.
