If a full refit is beyond budget of whomsoever is funding, has anyone any idea as to what parts of Belle Vue are serviceable/safe and for how long.
For example could the North stand and East stand still be used for a while whilst the west side of the ground is developed.
That would surely satisfy Superleague requirements,if allied to that, plans were in place for further staged development.

Are st still in communication with York court,when was the last meeting between them or has everything broke down completely

"However, the area around Belle Vue resembles nothing more than a building site and Carter says the Dewsbury move could be back on by Easter."

I think that's called upping the anti - let's hope it works

After all the publicity about Belle Vue being a dump where a serious injury could occur because it is in such a bad state of disrepair as stated by the chairman....which company really wants their company name linked to such a poor proposition...poorly timed I'd say by the club to push two conflicting messages to the media...it is a dump though. https://wakefieldtrinity.com/like-win-s ... ng-rights/

Yes i know that's what raising the anti means or it does to me - I'm sure he means it wouldnt be very effective otherwise :

Personally a move to Dewsbury would be equally embarrassing for me and a once proud club. I get why he wants to move us out of BV. There is no reason why he should take on the liability of an ancient stadium, however, is this not what PI is for?

What kind of injury? I've not even so much as slipped at BV and I've been well oiled on a few occasions.

I assume you are referring to insurance.

You cannot insure against criminal negligence.

I stumbled down the terracing last year in North Stand when we beat Warrington but that was my own clumsiness.

Just cut my elbow a bit but pride was really hurt.

It was worth it with the win and felt better after a celabratory pint.

Seriously though, it is a hazard in places with the broken concrete etc and my Dad who is a lifelong fan is now not so steady on his feet doesnt go so much these days. I think if things were different he would still be going

I have been involved in insurance for some of the most modern football stadiums and have still seen claims for supporters falling down the steps some even by hit by wayward shots on goal. This means you can still have the most modern development and not prevent claims.
To be able to make a claim you must prove the club to be negligent, with any claim falling under the Public Liability policy. Those running the club could be charged following a fatality but these are rare and usually result from gross dereliction of safety requirements.
This is my understanding but I am sure some on here will correct me if I am wrong.

I'll be immensely sad if it comes to pass. As for the developer, they might go "wow, we could build some stuff on this, cheers," and that's the end of Wakefield having a rugby team.

I don't criticise the decision, entirely understandable, and it is indictment on numerous others.

I'll see how I feel when it happens. I support the club because it's the club I have supported since I lived on St Catherine Street when I was 5, but as I am from Wakefield but no longer live there, the connection to the city is important to me. At what point is the club just a limited company? I support the club in Wakefield called Trinity, not the limited company that runs it. But I'll give it a go, and I might find I can live with it. I'm just not sure how I'll feel about doing a 150 mile round trip to watch a team that isn't in Wakefield, even if it is called that.
