Agreed, they're more likely to try and attract a club like us (or Salford, Huddersfield) that struggles, for whatever reason, to attract big crowds.'"
Amsterdam Trinity - I could get on board with that ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

| No chance of Wigan leaving Wigan. They're too big and guaranteed crowds of 14K plus. Why would they take the gamble?

I think the RFL are thinking of a little further afield than Barnsley. If I read the signs, the RFL are content to allow Wakefield to fall on the sword of expansion.

Wishful thinking on my part. Anway, Leigh will be bigger than them by this time next year ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

| This is a very possible scenario and one that MC would be obliged to consider as Wakefield Council and the RLF close down options around him.
Darlington FC's crazy owner, who made Ted look like John Lewis, build a new stadium as a vanity project, somehow getting the stadium finished without paying the majority of the bills. Darlington FC failed and the stadium was taken over by the Council, then swapped with Mowden Park RUFC, with a huge cash settlement, in exchange for their massive building plot on the other side of Darlington.
The 25000 seater stadium now holds a few lower league RU games and is dormant through the summer apart from a few "events". It would be a perfect fit for a RL club to play through the summer and only an hour away from Wakefield by car or less by train.

| Much the same as in the Sixties when Brooklyn Dodgers left New York and moved to LA. Difference is that New Yorkers still had two top flight baseball teams left in the city to support, the Knicks and the Yankees. Wakefield Trinityis a proud historic name and should the club move elsewhere it should be retained. However, unless it's to Barnsley, this lifetime supporter won't be going with them.

Which is why I wouldn't necessary be critical of MC if it was a choice of no rugby club in Wakefield and everything closed down or no rugby club in Wakefield and a move elsewhere. It just wouldn't be a club I'd support. I follow Wakefield's rugby league club, not a limited company with a new headquarters elsewhere.

22151_1298059614.jpg LOOKING FOR ACCOMMODATION IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA

| If we were to be the subject of such a move then its the end of Wakefield Trinity and our historic name and heritage.
No one interested in taking the "franchise" to a new location is going to give a jot about the name and history, it will be a new Club, a new name and will create its own history. Wakefield Trinity will be consigned to the history books.

| It's a good stick to wave at the council as a threat to leave the area, it might help push things along ground-wise. It would never happen though as everyone knows full well that it would in reality be the end of the club for good.

| I think my bullsh11 detector needs a re-boot
I've over ridden it and decided I haven't just read 3 pages of utter b0ll0cks, its actually an elaborate ruse to wind up Shudds, Salford and Wigin.
that's ok then.. ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif)
