| What concerns me is that even if we move to Dewsbury, according to MC , we would not be allowed to make it a permanent move and remain in Superleague.
Perhaps MC could clarify that.
Does it mean we would we not be allowed to stay in Superleague if we relocated to Dewsbury , unless Dewsbury was upgraded, or is it simply go to Dewsbury full time and you are out ?

I can attest to that in a small way too.
My son was down at Belle Vue yesterday. (He's nine) They've been there a couple of weeks running doing a full range of education activities, not just rugby.
He interviewed Anthony England yesterday and loved it.
He's been to watch games occasionally before and calls himself a Wildcat fan but he isn't a diehard watcher yet. But he talks about these visits and wants to go more now.
His friends who are mostly footballers asked me lots of questions before hand so they knew who they were talking to and what questions to ask. They have never asked me before. They are not at a rugby school but he'll be at Outwood soon.
These kind of community programmes are invaluable and is I'm sure one of the reasons we are getting awards.

We only need to look at Bradfords woes to see where we could be. Think the blame for the ground situation needs to be put at other doors than MC and the hard working club staff.'"
Totally agree.

| Quote ="Fordy"This is the really maddening bit, Yorkcourt promised to buy the ground and then didn't - Why is that?? Between Yorkcourt and WMDC there is some explaining that needs to be done.
They've both had so many chances to do the right thing and failed - how much longer before we expose them for what they are? Surely we can't hold back in fear of upsetting them, its not like it will halt any progress is it?'"
I feel they need exposing now. Fed up of the softly softly approach.

I agree. The part about 'influential people' warning us off the purchase of the ground then YC doing nothing about it just reeks of cahoots. I know there is some politics involved and some tip-toeing around in an attempt to come to some kind of compromise, but YC are obviously not going to do anything and neither are the council ![FRUSTRATED icon_frustrated.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_frustrated.gif) If it's left much longer any noise made will be irrelevant

| Just a reminder, whether you know who the actual poster is or not, use the User name not their real name.
I know some don't mind but it is easier to keep the rule in place for all.
Anonymity is part of the AUP. Intentionally outing someone is big deal.

I might be wrong PT, but isn't the poster suggesting the councillors who suggested we didn't bid should be outed not a poster?

| Till reading on Twitter today I didn't realise Yorkcourt had changed their name in 2016, does that have any effect on our future claim? (Assuming we make one).

WMDC Yorkcourt?
See you in Yorkcourt?

| Did they change their name because they went into administration or something? So skint that they can only (conveniently) build enough of their warehouse/industrial park to keep them under the stadium trigger threshold, I presume?

You can out them to your heart's content. They deserve it.
I was refereeing to a couple of people who have written to each other using real first names.
I know it's not a big deal for them probably, I just wanted to make the point that we should n't be doing that.

I have to agree with you on this.
Like many on here I have kept my cool throughout this whole process, while others have worked tirelessly and with dignity trying to progress the ground issue.
Others have not been as dignified, indeed adjectives such as odious, unscrupulous etc spring to mind.
The fact is we're little further forward now than we were years ago despite the herculean efforts by the 'good guys'
Surely nothing could be made worse now by throwing all that has happened to the press?
Couldn't make matters any worse could it?
It makes my blood boil that the people of Wakefield (Not just WT supporters!) have been treated with such contempt.
Give me a good old fashioned shoplifter anyday as far as scruples are concerned!

Not a "Pointless slot" by "Some randomer" Mr Advocate, but a serious point that was missed by you and subsequent posters on this thread, made by someone who has been a Trinity supporter since probably before you were born. If you'd bothered to read my second sentence you may have agreed that here was a chance for YTV to tell the good people of Yorkshire, North Lincs and North Notts just why Trinity and Belle Vue are in this ground predicament. A chance for the foul deeds of Yorkcourt and WMDC to be exposed to a wide audience and shamed. There again, perhaps not because the last thing that TV companies want to do is rock the political boat.

Well Mr Redcat, firstly the "pointless slot" I was referring to was the actual T.V. broadcast.
Secondly, the "Randomer" I alluded to is Mr Joe Public, we all know how the club has been shafted, & after that non-story, nothing has changed.
Finally I hope you did support Trinity before I was born, at least you will have seen them actually win something of significance.

If this is true, and the only thing that may hold us back from doing so is cost: it could be an idea to set up a crowd funding page with the target funds required for us to proceed. Get the word out there about whats happened via social media, tell anyone who's ever moaned about Belle Vue they can donate as much or as little as they want to the cause. Just a thought.

As we have mentioned on here previously, you only have to walk around the city and as to how desolate some of it looks nowadays
