| Quote: smoking monkey "Be careful about leaving WMDC lest SL suddenly come up with a new criterion around clubs having to be located within the council area their name relates to. That said there might be a way in by renaming yourself South Yorks something or other, if necessary absorbing Doncaster/Sheffield along the way. We would be happy to represent the whole of Wakefield, filling the void created by your self-imposed exile and mopping up Trinity fans our side of the city centre
That would also happen if we went to GH, Wakefield Trinity would be dead with 18 months.

| Oakwell.
More likely to be a temporary arrangement. GH would either lead to merger or the junior partner (i.e. us, as we would get less support there) being relegated and becoming the feeder club.
Even if Oakwell became a permanent move they would remain my favourite RL club because of their heritage but once the name changed the passion would die.

| Can't see either working to be honest. If we have to move out of Wakey then that's it for me if we bow out on the pitch fair enough but if it happens any other way then stick the game and the powers that be I'm sure I'll find something else to spend my time and money on.

| its for pure ecomonic reasons than i have gone for oakwell as its less likely that i will have my stereo stolen, plus you would soon tire of the novelty of the stewards having 3 thumbs on each hand and the ease of getting rid of your empty bottles

| oakwell for me. point well made about the cost. werent barnsley in the premier league at that time which would inflate the cost.
if that was to be the venue it would not be a one off game, but a season longand some hard negotiating would have to be done, re stewarding etc and bar receipts etc, but i would imagine we would get fleeced at GH on both cot and franchises
what other clubs share grounds in SL and league 1?

| Tricky one really I think we will lose fans which ever we choose. Alot of fans are very very disillusioned with this years performances and alot are already drifting away. Unless we start stringing a few wins together and finish the season on a high if we have to move elsewhere we will already be starting on a lower fan base. With both Oakwell & Glasshoughton we are competing with Cas, I work in Barugh Green Barnsley and Cas are already in the schools there. I am trying to think of another stadium in the area and how sad there is not one of note. I fear the worst TBH

Ossett Albion? Apparently, they have a 3k capacity stadium. Put some money into that and upgrade it.

| Oakwell for me - thought this would be a good move for a while (new area to drum up support etc.)
Also a bloody sight easier , and probably quicker (with all the traffic congestion getting through town caused by our planning dept.!) for me , straight down Barnsley rd. , 15 -20 mins. & in the ground - MAGIC

| Before this question is asked of the supporters,does anyone know what the feelings of the sponsors are relevant to the latest twist in the stadia saga ?
If Newmarket is not happening what becomes of the plan for the Neil Fox statue ?

You wont be in any position to call the shots if negotiating for oakwell, they will have you over a barrel. They will know they are your last chance and act accordingly, that's business.
