| How can anyone tell you what we don't know. There is a lot of negotiating going on, right now, and the outcome is not known.
IF we win the next 2 and Salford lose theirs by enough, then the Halifax game could be the last home game, but only IF negotiations to stay come to nothing. We could end up playing the million pound game at BV, or not, and we could end up leaving, or not - this is not being obtuse in any way, it's just how it is.
As for marketing opportunities, I would rather the club concentrate on survival than on marketing opportunities, and for that I am really disappointed in those players who have been involved in the weekends incident.
We do represent the fans to the best of our abilities in all this. If we start divulging details of ongoing negotiations then we soon won't be and the opportunity to do so will be lost. I hope most can appreciate this.

Come on TRB, as Mark Wilson has said on Twitter, you can't retrospectively say "by the way that was our last game at Belle Vue, hope you enjoyed it"
Also saying that if we win and don't go into the Million pound game, you'd have thought fans would be happy. The two things are totally seperate and to dismiss the feelings of the supporters, well If that's not out of touch then I give up.
I think the answers demonstrate a lack of understanding of where the fans are coming from. They also illustrate a level of intransigence from the club which is present across the board and is quite damaging to the future of the club.
We are certainly not together!

I really can't understand why people can't see this. It's like asking "how many games have we got left to play". At this moment in time nobody knows!
If somebody used Twitter to ask MC for next weeks Euro Lottery numbers there'd be uproar if he couldn't provide them.

Is it beyond the ability of the club to comprehend that one of possibly two games could easily be the last one in over a hundred years of fame, history, heroes and legendary moments.
Market the first one as probably the last, if another one is required and comes in the form of the Million pound game then double up on the marketing and make the day unmissable. BONUS!
Don't give me that the club have other things to concentrate on, this being possible the last game(s) is massive but the total absence of any empathy with the fans means that we could bow out with nothing more than a whimper

| It would be unforgivable if the fans were not allowed to say a proper goodbye to Belle Vue at a competitive fixture. I think we'll still be at BV next year but the time really is coming now for some news.

| If the club genuinely don't know where we'll be playing next season, is there any harm in a short statement on the website/Facebook/Twitter that negotiations are ongoing and everyone will be updated when a decision is concrete? That way fans can decide for themselves regarding this weekends game.

Perhaps we should watch every game as though it's our last.
After all it feels like we're on borrowed time.

Decide what? I'll be going. The only decision will be what time I leave!

Think the players will decide that for you.

Exactly. Some might go who didn't plan to, and others may stay longer than usual.

They've been telling us they will keep us updated and negotiations are ongoing on here for some time.I'm as frustrated as the next fan,but I'm prepared to let the trust get on with the hard work in front and not put detractions in front of them.We will get to know when they are 100% one way or another.

I just think there needs to be something from the club, not all fans are on here and leaving Belle Vue will be a big thing to a lot of people.

Maybe when the club know 100% for deffo that we are leaving they'll let us know. Until then what's the point?

Yes,I'm one of them.I'm not a legal expert,far from it,but I'm sure during tense negotiations there's things discussed that are kept in shop.I've also got a vested intrest in the outcome.Jordans career could be at stake if the club goes booby up.
