Maybe the Club, WMDC and the developers are carrying on with behind the scenes talks regarding a community stadium. but let's just hope they are keeping Super League and the RFL up-to-date with developments, because they have the final word as to whether Wakefield Trinity continue as a top grade side or not.

Has anything been said about next season yet?

Apparently there was something said on Rugby AM by Carter, saying there has been nothing at all further on the stadium situation hence no news. Have not seen it myself but someone mentioned it to me last night.

Have we officially signed to play at Belle Vue next season? Or are we in the same situation we were this time last season where we did not know where we would be playing?

He said he has given an idea to the council on how to fund a new Belle Vue, but they have been thinking about it for six months and heard nothing else. He made the point that a redeveloped Belle Vue would preserve the heritage of the pitch and all that has gone before it, with great players of the past.

I took that to mean that he says a redeveloped Belle Vue as the most viable option in terms of time, as he said that the RFL could pull the plug at any time.

Have you heard anything?

At a guess we're playing at Belle Vue next year, there'll be a back up plan but the club don't appear to want to leave to me if avoidable. The commercial loss on matchdays would be a killer.

Cheers Slugger, sounds just like our council.... incompetent, useless and plenty of other words I would like to use...

It was a good show but you could tell MC was very frustrated (understandably) with the whole stadium issue. Pulled up short and didn't finish his sentence a couple of times when he was probably thinking "no I'd better not"

Thought Mc said months back that the community stadium would get an all singing all dancing pitch

I seem to recall that the council had the Market Hall built for free by whoever did Trinity Walk.

The bottom of Kirkgate is a real dump.

Edit: Going way off topic here sorry but what's with the increase of beggers in Wakefield? Has a hostel or shelter been opened up recently...I noticed the Graizers has been turned it some time of dwelling but with steal shutters closing the doors off.

There were loads in Hull last night. Every time we made a tackle they were begging for a penalty.

Mind you, when it comes to begging for penalties, Huddersfield are way in front of the rest.
They literally wanted a penalty on every play, regardless of which side had the ball.

Also had to smile at Radfords comments about a second half penalty count in our favour in the second half but, he didnt seem to remember how many Hull had in the first half, along with the Jowitt sin bin.
