Just out of interest, and without wanting to sound negative, where will we stand if we don't get this new stadium if Belle Vue is already sold?

Of course plan A is what we all want but if the council are happy to see top flight sport completely eradicated from the city then I'm afraid to say they can all go eat and die and we go play in Barnsley.

That is a very strong arguament and was put well by David Hinchliffe on the back page of the league express today.

Good to see local MPs showing passion and dedication to the cause. We need more people like this in rugby league to maintain the heritage.

**COUGH**
I believe Mr Box has done his share for Cas in his time in local politics.

Care to argue otherwise?

I wouldn't know. You could argue he's done just as much for Wakefield but that's a different argument. Regardless, I'm sure the other Wakefield fans do not want a Cas/Wakey argument again and neither do I. This is about a Plan B for Wakefield and that is rumoured to be Barnsley.

I dont see why Cas would need to look to play somewhere else as part of plans A B C or D in the short term.

Plan A is clearly to stay at Wheldon Rd in 2011 and move to the new stadium in GH at the start of 2012.

If that doesn't happen one of two things will occur;

1. We get a franchise regardless and continue in SL at Wheldon Rd until the new ground is eventually funded by the sale of Wheldon Rd with an agreement to play there until the new ground is built whether that be in 2011, 2012 or 2013.

2. We don't get a franchise and continue in the Championship at Wheldon Rd until the new ground is eventually funded by the sale of Wheldon Rd with an agreement to play there until the new ground is built whether that be in 2011, 2012 or 2013.

We own our ground until its sold to fund GH unlike Wakey who are homeless at the end of next year if NM isn't up in time.

I hope you get PP on Fri, it's a huge development that the area needs especially with the cuts in public services that will have a positive impact on the local job market. Any private enterprise should be given full backing IMO in the current climate even if it means we loose a few fields.

I honestly dont think the two clubs efforts to get new grounds will impact the other as directly as some seem to think. GL with NM and I hope we get GH as well.

Would mean more if he still had some power rather than being a former MP.

Hopefully we won't need a plan B and newmarket gets the go ahead with no hold ups. If there are hold up then Oakwell as a tempory measure would be ideal, Elland Road is quicker to get to especially the north Wakefield fans but would be too big and expensive. Traditionally Trinity have always had support from Barnsley and we could tap into new support from there. Hopefully plan B will not be needed as Newmarket is too much of a good opportunity to miss.

My last couple of posts were pessimistic however why is everyone banking on Cas and us being the only contenders for the chop ?? if the argument is purely on distance between our two teams what about the two Hull sides ?? much closer than that.

both have a large fan base and a terrific derby, nope they will in the franchise unless KR decide to rack up another massive bill and go bust
