If the council are serious about building a new stadium (ha!) then they have plenty of land in their ownership the off the WERR. Why build an asset on 3rd party land when you've got masses right there.

I just hope that Hussain is as big a knob as I think he is and doent allow us to stay at BV for a single day longer than current agreement which I think runs out on 31 December. Then at last we can get the hell out of BV and Wakefield.

I thought the whole of the land round WERR were earmarked for housing, as I understood the housing companies bought this land for houses and this financed the link road.

Is it their plan to back MC/trust into a corner. Build the stadium and a new trust appears who have people lined up who are willing to take on the club and pay the unsustainable rent, all in it together.

Up the Trin

Ironic isn't it. He kicks us out of Belle Vue and builds on the original site for the community stadium.

While I share your sentiments Belly with sticking the proverbial finger up at those concerned, I am seriously worried that IF we move out of Wakefield, without a firm, genuine future ground in Wakefield then the club will fold.
I will follow them anywhere short term but if there's no hope for WT IN WAKEFIELD, then I'm done.
I'm sure many more are of the same opinion.
This is a saga I have endured like everyone else but you get to a point where you begin to think 'There's more to life" Trinity out of Wakefield, No thanks-not permanent anyway.

I'm all for that, rather than hanging about if there's nothing s Belle Vue for us let's get gone. Unless theres still room for negotiation long term.

Up the Trin

Why would, ‘if it was feasible’ , a developed Dewsbury ground make you pack in Trinity 1315 ?
It’s only just outside the Wakefield boundary and more or less as near to the city centre as Newmarket.

Moving to Dewsbury would not be the end for me.

It is only about 300-400 metres from the boundary.

I would also be tempted, to move Wakefield's community work away from WMDC, it would upset some, and possibly some on here.

At the end of the day, without taking this forum back to politics, we are all pretty much of the same agreement that WMDC have not been very helpful. but at the end of the day, how many of our fans will continue to vote them in.

If Kirklees council are willing to accommodate us, then why not do some of out community work within Kirklees

If all things were equal I would rather stay in the City. But, we know that Box will never let up in his endeavours to crush our club and he wields so much power we are in a no win situation. I'm looking forward to breaking away from the noose that is Belle Vue.

I am just of the opinion that if we went to Dewsbury permanently then eventually a lot of supporters from Wakefield will simply abstain.
If we want to maintain SL status (which of course we do) we need bigger crowds really than we are getting now, and certainly not less, which I feel would be the case at Dewsbury and then the championship beckons and as interest fades - who knows?
Please don't think the supporters we have will up sticks and go en bloc to Dewsbury because that won't happen.

I feel the same. A permanent move out of the city/surrounding area will be the death of the club. I just don't see how operating out of Dewsbury will allow the club to grow in any way to offset the loss of the core support with new fans. Ultimately new RL fans in Wakefield will no longer have a home team to support so out of the choices nearby they will probably support Leeds.
