It's a real shame a genuine Trinity supporter (individual/organisation) did not buy the Belle Vue Ground when there was the opportunity last year....
Not sure about the complexities of Community Crowd funding to modernise the ground into a Community Stadium with genuine community facilities if privately owned etc (but that maybe could have been overcome then not now of course) .....

Featherstone or Dewsbury would be better than Cas for me..

Liked MC's wry comment in today's League Weekly thus
I think that also in the article MC states that apart from the Dewsbury option he is looking at another and that it is not in the WMDC area. Not very good news if that's the case.

Thought Belle Vue was 7000 capacity?'"
BV is 8000 capacity and there was nearly that when we played Hull 7900 + I think

| I have very little interest in where the team goes, i probably won't follow them. I live in walking distance of Belle Vue and refuse to drive to home games as well as away games. Good luck to the club, but without a longterm future in the city, then I won't be following them

I follow my local team, as I have done for the past 20+ years. If I wanted to drive to every game I would have followed a successful team.

Does it have the 2,000 seats that are mentioned?

To be fair, he has the kernel of a point!
I moved away from Wakefield in 95, and although we then moved to Australia in 08, my desire to return to, watch and support Trinity was and is, based in its community roots... the memories of my youth and early adulthood in and around the place of my birth. To disconnect the team from the environment is risky, at best;
My head says ....I would be really interested in seeing the balanced risk analysis of the club's current decision making.
My heart says... that I for one would prefer to have a lower league Trinity based in the city, than a remote super league franchise carrying the memory of my club's name.

22151_1298059614.jpg LOOKING FOR ACCOMMODATION IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA

The Club were going to put a bid in for Belle Vue but were dissuaded from so doing because the Trust were told that Yorkcourt were going to buy it and the Clubs interest would only force the price up.
Yorkcourt even informed us that they had a contract to purchase Belle Vue in their hand.
We all are aware of what actually happened.

It's about half a mile extra to Newmarket than my current walk so I'd probably walk it. It's much further to Cas, Dewsbury, and Fev so I wouldn't be walking to them. I imagine if we do groundshare then almost every game will be scheduled for a Thurs/Fri night to allow the pitch a couple of days recovery as a minimum before the owners play their game.

Exactly, I'd follow the team even if they were in Champ 1 so long as they were playing in the city. It's a Wakefield team and I'm from Wakefield. I wish the team every success wherever they end up, but if it's not Wakefield then I won't be there
