| I really do not understand how anyone on here can criticise the people who have put in huge amounts of time and effort over the last few years on behalf of this club( i,e Sandal Cat/IA/TRB plus others) - everyone needs to remember they are volunteers who are doing their best to help the club(and the rest of us) achieve the goal of a new ground. Anyone who thinks they can do better should step up to the mark and do it

| According to the Wakefield Express, our beloved council are looking to help out with the development of the Clayton Hospital site.
Could we squeeze a little 15k stadium on there?

That would be a good place for a new stadium on the old clayton hospital site

| Probably too small a site, ridiculously constrained with two major roads and schools either side and I'm not 100% sure but isn't the building listed.
Best place for a stadium, as it's always been, is Thornes Park. What an opportunity missed by WMDC to create something truly worthwhile with their ridiculous specification.

I'd be able to remember having my tonsils taken out whenever I took to my seat

No, the best place by far was Durkar but that's history. WMDC has saved the club on one occasion but in my opinion have the let the club down badly on numerous occasions since. Much more help could have been given to identify a suitable site.

| I know there are numerous issues and this has almost certainly been addressed before so excuse me - advancing years and all that - but is redeveloping BV completely out of the question?

I know. I stood in the N Stand before the game yesterday, ground bathed in sunshine, and I just couldn't comprehend that it might be the last game ever at BV or that anyone could even think of building houses on that turf!

| Are we doing anything to attract investors?
There are wealthy Wakefield businessmen out there, 3 I could name who are worth £100 Million, I'm sure there are others.
Just because they've never approached the club doesn't mean that they wouldn't be interested if they themselves were contacted. Sometimes it's about it being the right time for someone and even they might not know they're interested until someone makes them think about it!
Do we have any kind of strategy for bringing new money into the organisation.

| Apparently four mystery backers are itching to invest, they're just waiting the wings until <insert name here> leaves the club.
Joking aside Carter has said enough times that if anyone wants to take on the mantle he would gladly sell the club for a quid, I guess the millionaires just aren't that interested in losing money.

But that's not the same is it!
Telling a crowded room of 100 supporters that you'll step aside for a quid is not the same as having an active strategy to seek and cultivate prospective directors or potential new owners.

| Quote: The Avenger "To move forward the club needs financial investment on a large scale.
Is anyone actively seeking such investment or trying to source a new owner who could take the club away from boom n bust.
Are we just waiting and hoping that a Dr Koucash will fall into our lap or a fan might win the Euro lottery.
Michael Carter and Chris Brereton have done wonders stabilising the club but we can't live on the edge forever we have to progress or eventually we will fall.'"
