| Surely now, the truth has to come out on all sides.
Who said what, who did what, who didn't do what.
None of this dignified silence and not wanting to upset things at a difficult stage of negotiations. We've had a stomach full of that for god knows how many years.
Instead of rumour and innuendo, let's have a few facts!
As George Orwell said:
"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."

Just what I've been saying myself Jizzer. Just look next door at Barnsley. Simlar heritage to Wakey with predominantly working class people. They're currently rebuilding the town centre. A New library, new cinema,, bowling alley, new shops. Why aren't their citizens being deprived???? We have to listen to whingeing Box and the like telling us taht we are all going to have to pay now and receive less in return. It's immoral

We could ask her to arrange for the council to benefit from the same deal they provided to Surrey Council, now that would be useful.

| We have voluntarily agreed to leave our home without a plan to return. We face the possibility of moving to Dewsbury a ground that like Belle Vue is not up to SL standard. This means someone will need to spend some money but it can't be us because why fund a third party ground and ignore our current home.
I get the impression that the Featherstone offer that went public was not received too well because I am sure we have a plan that may turn out to be more controversial. I have no inside knowledge but I do get the impression that the supporters have become pawns in a much larger game of egos. I think we are now looking to try to embarrass the council but I fear we will be the losers because we could end up playing miles away from Wakefield in a substandard ground. The board may have the support of some on the forum but I am not sure they can count on the majority depending on where we end up playing.
If we have any intentions of remaining Wakefield Trinity and playing in the city we must have a plan and a timeframe to return or our current board could succeed in doing to the club what Maurice Lindsey failed to do.
I regret many of you are deluding yourselves if you believe that moving out of the city is a move worth doing because rugby and its supporters are very loyal to the team in their city especially in Wakefield because we have had more reason than most to seek glory elsewhere. We would rather walk away than support a team that is no longer affiliated with this area.

| Quote Lawefield44="Lawefield44"I agree, an absolute disgrace. I know the council have had a cut in their budget but these things are basics for those of us who cant afford to pay for ourselves or our kids to join private golf clubs etc'" here's a classic, wrenthorpe park and surrounding area used to a have well cut park where kids could play, now its over grown and the councils excuse is they want to turn into a nature reserve for the wildlife cost cutting at its best,
the tennis courts are now derelict, the bowling green gets kids playing football on it because the fields are crap to play on, usual thing where ever they can save money they will and this stems form the top which is the government,
there are people within the system that are creaming it, why do you think brexit came about, why do you think trump got elected, people have had enough, time we stood and actually make a scene,
these unscrupulous need to be brought to question

you're right, it will fail, they won't ever be embarrassed about anything ever, power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
if we can't hold them to account, and an effective mechanism for that doesn't exist, they'll do what they like.....so that's that.

| Still do not get why it would not work at Dewsbury for example.Oh silly me not everyone is a true supporter as I am and have been for 60 years.If I can adapt , having experienced the glory years at Belle Vue, why cannot some of the miserable doubters not .Just get behind the team wherever we play and make it work. To be honest I regard the move as a fresh start and a great opportunity.
Are you supporters or what?

The equilibrium has tipped I'm afraid and it's going to get worse.
Housing,roads,and healthcare will be at the top of every councils to do list before they think about leisure facilities and stadiums

| Yes. I agree there regarding the argument for housing, roads and healthcare.
However, in the past 10-15 years there has been a lot of new stadia built the length and breadth of the country for both rugby and football

| New RL stadiums built in last 20 years:
Widnes
St Helens
Warrington
Leigh
Salford
Shared with football club:
Wigan
Hull FC
Huddersfield
Now, what is it that has enabled all these Lancashire based clubs within close proximity to one another to throw up new RL anchor stadia and not one Yorkshire based club build anything?
