i would be more than happy to travel to barnsley but dont think it will happen,i have no confidence in the bod what so ever we has a club have known for the last 10 years and where still not any nearer.i think we now have to look forward to our last season in sl

It's the knocks that make you stronger. Bring it on!

Sounds good to me and i must say i have been thinking along similar lines myself.

They cannot be in a rush for wharehouse space if they are prepared to wait 1 or 2 years for something they could have now on the M62/A1 within a few miles of Newmarket.

such a sinic,and so young.

"Cynic" - yes I am often accused of being one.

Young - I wish

You’re probably correct, a quick fix for a few months, however, if that few months were to turn into a full season, hey-ho.

Then if the powers that be fail to get the stadium passed & built in two years, it’s a poor show.

Sure, the revenue streams will suffer, but we would have to dip into the proceeds from the sale of B.V, it’s not as if we haven’t before!

Regarding players, why not go for something radical like the promise of a fully English team, what’s the worst that could happen.

I suspect that there was always a Plan B, and talks with Barnsley would have been taking place for quite a long time. A years lease would probably be of no interest to them, and a 5 year one too long and expensive for you. Talk about walking away from a long leasing agreement is a none starter. You agree to pay for x number of years, whether you are physically there or not. I suspect a 3 year lease would be agreeable to all parties, including Redhall.

So, where does that leave Wakefield Trinity?

Still in SL for the next season, and with all to play for, and a good season would lift all their real fans....and send a timely 2 fingers to Redhall! Depending on finances and negotiations with the RFL and Barnsley, I don't see why there shouldn't be a confident application put in for the next round of Franchises. You may have to travel a bit further to watch your team, but as I've said before, a stadium is only bricks and mortar, it's the team and the fans who are important, not a postcode.

The PI will decide in its own time whether Newmarket will stand or fall, so whilst I understand your obvious disappointment, the fat Lady hasn't began to warm up her vocals just yet!

If a two year deal could be agreed upon with the owners' of Oakwell to tide us over until we get the nod from the sos assuming that we do and the new ground gets built, then how could the RFL overlook our choice to play there when they have already allowed St Helens to do so at Widnes. Financial costs even in the championship are spirelling out of control so for a two year deal I am sure Mr Cryne owner of the club and part owner of the ground would welcome any extra source of income that is guaranteed for two year, and it is a known fact that the other Oakwell partner BMBC are also struggling financially so with some astute bargaining some solution that satisfys everybody could be found, and baring in mind that nobody will extend the arm of friendship that far and let us use their ground for next to nothing, on the basis that we are going to have to pay then we might as well pay for the best facilities available to us which would be at Oakwell.

I believe that St Helens have a contract to build a new stadium and Widnes is a definite stop gap measure. We however would be using another stadium for an unknown period of time as we don't definitely know we have a new stadium.

That's actually an uplifting view on things and does sound a viable way of going forward.

Think you'll find that it was a fat man this time around.

I like the way you think Billy.

Plan B is for the club to all hide under the bed and hope this is all a dream / nightmare.

heard a runour today we are doing a deal to move to Elland road
