I think all new stadia, and buildings alike, can be a little 'cold' at first. It will require some 'living in' and the creation of a new set of memories. Once they start, then we will all begin to warm to it, but we must remember that this will not be built for the wishes of all of us - we would watch in a mud bath - it is for the ones who won't come to BV and hopefully they will come and begin to populate their own memory banks and start to feel that attachment to Trinity! 
I wonder if there is anyway of incorporating something from BV into the new stadia - it's a shame we don't have a commemorative gate or something.  |

It's a shame the pitch isn't transferable.

We've got that inflatable wildcat tunnel thingy! 
I'd love to see the old scoreboard in there. But remind me... was it "home, visitors, T, G, D" or "Trinity, visitors, T, G, D"? (I'm sure it was the former, but you know how it is... Friday night, had a few...)

The pitch is just grass - it's the 3' below which makes it - and in transferring it we would disturb it and that would render it's value almost worthless.
I would love to have a go though!

Agree with all the above.
Just like to point out that when the four of us started SWAG the original hope was to upgrade BV. There was not one of us who wanted to leave, ditto the board. However it quickly became apparent that if we were to give the club a viable future which included new fans and investors there was only one way forward.
As TRB says I'd be happy to go to BV forever but clearly nowhere near enough Wakefield residents shared that opinion. At the end of the day the club should never be run at the whim of individuals and SWAG were certainly never going to follow an agenda that put the needs of ourselves above the needs of the club. Radical action was required IMHO and hopefully the potential needs of the future majority were put ahead of the needs of the existing and eventual minority.
I think the saddest thing of all which clearly demonstrates how far BV has fallen is that in all honesty (the pitch aside) there isn't one item in the ground worth rescuing. Says it all for me.
I'd like to incorperate something of BV into the new ground but frankly I can't think what. Let's hope the Architects use a little bit of imagination and give the stadium some degree of originality to set it above the recent shed like look of new grounds.

Have to agree, as sad as it is for the "die-hards" to accept even the younger ones of us (under 40) can't carry the club forever. We need new blood. My nephew is a prime example, born into a family of "die-hards" which already goes back 3 generations (1940's I think- would be interesting to trace actually) & we have lost the 4th generation!
He never caught the bug at BV. He can't see the game, we stand so if he wants to sit down it has to be the ground and in busy games the poor lad almost gets crushed! He loves away games to the big stadiums (Hull FC being a family favourite) but shows no interest in coming to home games. Despite having shirts & ST's bought...
NM will reinvigorate the whole community, even those with a passing interest will come just to see the stadium- & that's when our challenge begins, we've got to hook them. NM will give us the tools we need to move on. |

I'd prefer to take the old one.
Just off the top of my head....
Have a fans vote on their favourite home game (Million pound game for me) the winning suggestions final score is fixed on there and taken with us. A new lick of paint and find a prominent place in our new home.
Maybe have it mounted onto oak and varnished to keep it looking presentable for decades to come and fix it onto one of the outside faces of the stand???
