however I fear that if the move away from Wakefeld is more than one year then that too will prove terminal.'" I expect that this was organized ready for this case, but we need to be in the lime light now for the right reasons as the bids go in, after the franchise bids we will know our fete

| Quote: New York Bar X111 "Did hear rumour that plan B was moving in with Fev R at Post Office Road, would certainly attract more supporters than watching NL at Barnsley, dont know if move would be part of a merger or if it eas just on a temp basis. Would we still have investors if playing in NL for another 3 years what would be point of playing in stadium with car park big enough for 25 buses when only playing Batley, Hunslet,(no disrespect) etc. Think it is looking good for Halifax. dont know how much messing about with thornes park has knocked us back. All blinking doom and gloom but will make every effort to make every game home and away.'" a move to fev is going to bring NL, barnsley at least give us half a chance

but would post office road meet the super league criteria?
i think barnsley is the best option but i reckon your looking at 2 years minimum at oakwell and thats if.
1.the rfl accept your franchise with oakwell has your temporary home.
2.can the club be a viable business while you are at barnsley with expected lower gates and full rent to pay for every home game if you get a franchise.
my money is on the club using oakwell has the franchise bid but if the bid fails and the rfl decide you need to take time out of super league until newmarket is built, then surely the best option to keep the business going would be a groundshare with featherstone or dewsbury which would be far cheaper than oakwell.
at the end of the day you are now at the mercy of the rfl and even a move to oakwell may be a bridge too far with the extra costs and less income.
not here to gloat im just trying to get a fealing of what your next move will be.

Some people think I am a schizophrenic, but they don't really know us.: |
|
| Quote: Slugger McBatt "There have two very viable schemes occupying their time for much of the last few years, and they have both been vetoed by politicians. The club would have been daft to not back either of them, and I'm not sure there is much else they could have done.
I don't say they are perfect, and I have no idea what could have been done that they didn't, but it seems a shame that people just seem to see today's outcome as an opportunity to bash the board. What else could they have done in the last five or six years to have made the situation any different. The issue has not been funding in either case, but political decisions.'"
Sorry Slugger, but the decision re Newmarket is not political. It is purely down to Local and National Planning Policy. EP really had no choice but to call it in - read the letter for the reasons.

| losers and winners?
loser - Wakefield Trinity - the delay will force the club from the city and put the continued franchise of the club in serious jeopardy. without the franchise the future of the club itself must be in doubt.
loser - Wakefield City Council - having to pay for a public enquiry when funds are at an all time low, potentially losing a private enterprise development partner, not being able to meet their legal obligations for sustainable development, losing out on privately funded community sporting facilities, and thousands of jobs
loser - the people of Wakefield - the PI will be funded by tax payers, much needed jobs are put at risk, the extended period where there are no sporting facilities for the youth of Wakefield... possibly indefinate.
loser - Trinity fans and the Rugby League - a state of the art satdium built in parkland and environmentally sustainable, built specifically for Rugby League and fully funded seriously at risk.
loser - the developer - massive investment in time and resource and money potentially wasted in a time of deep recession.
loser - local residents - despite the delay, there will be a development on this site in the forseeable future. There are now chances that this could be a complete intustrial development rather than mixed industry and leisure.
winner.... Widnes RL perhaps? Cas RL perhaps (if they can get their act together)?
winner - Leeds city council - who have asserted their authority over the smaller neighbours
winner - for now - the nimbys - who have a few more months before the bulldozers roll in.

| A move to Fev may be best chance of survival if no SL licence, move to Barnsley is step closer to extinction, do you think Wakefield v Dewsbury will attract neutrals from South Yorkshire?
Even more fed up than i was 10 mins ago.
PS Is it any coincidence that the council have guranteed 2 million pounds worth of land today, seems a bit strange.

| My earliest memory of being a Trinity fan is as a tearful 9 year-old at Wembley in '68.
It is therefore ironic that Leeds should again feature strongly in my sadness for our great club, given that there objection has no doubt had a major influence in this decision (rather than the NIMBY's), which in turn is almost certainly going to bring down the curtain on Trinity as a force in RL.
Forget Widnes - think Rochdale Hornets.

Quite easily cos it doesn't fit their agenda. We can lobby all you want but it won't make a blind bit of difference, they've a plan and they'll stick to it. If it kills wakey off, so be it.

| Don't like being the harbinger of even more doom and gloom as you have had a pretty rough day as it is but I have just been looking on the barnsley fc forum and there fans seem none too pleased with the fact you could be looking for a ground share. Infact after reading the thread, today is the first thing they have heard about it and the brown stuff is hitting the fan big time.

Because Red Hall think we should be happy to be a championship club. Don't worry they also will expect people like you to continue putting in all your time and money for things like squad builder so we can raise funds to develop players so Leeds and the rest can pick off the best.
We are being given life as a feeder club and should be thankfull for that.
Also don't worry about all the hours our club put into the local schools I'm sure Leeds and Cas will happily step in to do that work for us.
