you're right, it will fail, they won't ever be embarrassed about anything ever, power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
if we can't hold them to account, and an effective mechanism for that doesn't exist, they'll do what they like.....so that's that.

Still do not get why it would not work at Dewsbury for example.Oh silly me not everyone is a true supporter as I am and have been for 60 years.If I can adapt , having experienced the glory years at Belle Vue, why cannot some of the miserable doubters not .Just get behind the team wherever we play and make it work. To be honest I regard the move as a fresh start and a great opportunity.
Are you supporters or what?

No my dad's harder than your dad!

Yes. I agree there regarding the argument for housing, roads and healthcare.

However, in the past 10-15 years there has been a lot of new stadia built the length and breadth of the country for both rugby and football

New RL stadiums built in last 20 years:

Widnes
St Helens
Warrington
Leigh
Salford

Shared with football club:

Wigan
Hull FC
Huddersfield

Now, what is it that has enabled all these Lancashire based clubs within close proximity to one another to throw up new RL anchor stadia and not one Yorkshire based club build anything?

can the hospitality block and new roofs be moved? Part of the temporary move to Dewsbury maybe.

Totally agree Snowie. Most ordinary people do not ask for much. Wealth would be nice and Lord knows if my 69 Million has come up last night (must check) I'll be buying BV and rebuilding it, but we would just be happy with fair wages, fairness in society and little things, like the joy that sport brings, being promoted by our governors. They promote what suits them. As you say, no wonder people fall for the guff from the people you mention

Well answer this then Jakey. Will you support the club with your presence at Dewsbury, Featherstone or other feasible venue?

All very true but what has this to do with Newmarket?

There is no rate payers money involved here just the will of our elected representatives and their employees to do their job, ie enforce the agreements - what you are on about is just a smoke screen in this case.

I am happier with Featherstone. I prefer it as a ground and somehow feel more affinity with the area. It appears closer to SL standard to me

I know. Unbelievable all this. We know all about Box..it just beggars belief that an authority can me so disinterested in promoting a major club in a major northern sport, even in by using it's ability to facilitate and enforce the deal your refer to.
I also get frustrated by how little the fans of other clubs know or understand about our predicament. I hear and see negative comments about us and I gnash my teeth knowing how we have been badly shafted by the parties you refer to.

Good luck with the 6500 criteria. That is a ridiculous proposal. All sorts of external factors, particularly economic ones, can affect that. It would be grossly unfair to exclude teams in deprived areas because their fans can't afford the prices!
