Why has Oakwell gone so quiet?

Because we've sod all chance of being in superleague next year.

I think we've all heard similar things over the past week. Hence the amount of hits these threads have got over the past 2 weeks.

Trinity need a stadium for next year. GH certainly isn't going to be it. We'll find out the fate of Newmarket next year. If it's a no then the club needs to look at the options available to them.

The haste has been taken out of the situation now. Effectively the developers have 3-4 years to produce NM. Trinity will need a home to play at in the interim, but if they are not in SL it may as well be at BV. The ruling preventing the land use to be changed until an alternative is found may keep the rent low. If not there then perhaps Dewsbury's ground would be the next best option.

Belle vue then.

You never no mate, a lot of H 2 0 to go under the old Calder bridge yet

There is plenty of open mindedness on here, just not for a groundshare that would lead inevitably to a merger and ultimately, the extinction of Wakefield Trinity.

That is a true statement in respect of the stadium element but it is not as simple as saying that the only two things permitted are the training pitches. The guidelines do allow for supporting buildings and infrastructure for these facilities. So changing rooms, car parking, indoor training facilities (gym) are considered permitted also. Of course the scale is the issue and therefore I think the majority of the stadium and car park is indeed outside of this, but that the majority of the community sports facilities could equally be considered as permitted.

Anyway, this might not be a problem. The actual objection to the MUGA has been very small, indeed the leading opposition group states on it's website that "We are not opposed to a stadium for Wakefield Wildcats."

Surely, they will not be so hypocritical as to change their minds (again) on such a clear and bold position! Of course not, they are not NIMBY's you know!

Mini Mutts as taken precautions just in case the ground share becomes reality

Keep posting those wins to push clear of the Crusaders and make life uncomfortable for the RFL by matching the stadia/location positives of the Welsh bid with your better support and junior development.

Really? I only ask because your join date suggests otherwise. Would you care to reveal your true identity? ooohh I love a good mystery!

if only life in SL was so simple!
