Well done to all concerned.
The message seems to be clear to me - push for NM! I would personally love a redeveloped BV BUT rather than put in jeopardy everything done, then I am happy to aim for NM. Let's face it, we were very much in danger of being a nomadic club with no identity and no ground.
I will now get a season ticket - SL or championship.

I owe MC an apology. I thought he was going to takes us to Dewsbury which would have been a disaster. I was frustrated by the lack of news and secrecy. Well done MC. I will back you all the way to Newmarket.....

.. But please get help with your twitter addiction

I don't care what others say about Belle Vue.....I love it.....and will be sad to leave if ever the day materialises.

Best bit of news we've had for a while. Miller last week and now this. Let's hope in a few more weeks we can add another bit of good news!!

I fully understand the message you are making IA and from the passion in your comments it is clear how committed you are. People like myself don't see even half the work that you, TRB and many others put in. I do remember briefly speaking to you at the Ted Richardson share appeal meeting and am staggered at how long ago that was. This passing of time really emphasises how committed to the cause you and all others involved are. For that I am eternally grateful.

Personally, I would much rather stay at Belle Vue and have it revamped. Much for reasons other have cited even though NM would be more accessible for me.

However I fully understand your plea and that the effort was to get a Community Stadium. If we achieve that it is not just Wakefield Trinity who benefit but Wakefield as a whole. I will openly continue to support you and your team in your and our objectives to get the best outcome for Trinity. (If that in a round about way ultimately leads to us regaining title of the land of Belle Vue and a redeveloped stadium I will be exceedingly happy).

For now though well done MC and CB. I never criticised your decision to call notice on the ground. I fully understood the rationale behind it and realised it was a decision made out of financial necessity rather than dismissing history. The outcome has been fantastic and the reaction of many already vindicates the decision. (Such a shame so many were so critical during the process but I guess you need a very thick skin to be a chairman.)

The fact we are now finalising the legal terms to the rental agreement surely means that MC sees it as a financially viable solution for our mid-long term future.

Well done again.

Just a quick note - for those who were impatient for news (understandably), if there had been news 2 weeks ago it would have been Dewsbury. As I told people at the weekend, whilst there is no news, there is hope of a deal on BV.
Well done to all involved - we can now return to our working towards our long term future!

I wasnt too happy to be relocating to Newmarket originally because of the additional travel distance as i live 3 miles from belle view to the east of the city. However this will not be a problem when the new link road is complete linking heath common to aberford road so yeah im on board.

The value of Newmarket is never more plain than when we visit a Leigh or Hull KR or even Halifax and feel much more comfortable at their stadium than our own.
I love Belle Vue but it is old and holding the club back.
I'm really glad we don't have to go to Dewsbury but we have to keep focus on Newmarket as well otherwise we will never move forward (and we are already miles behind)

Flipping excellent news !

Much appreciation and thanks for those involved with this.
Lets hope we can stay in SL and get the Trinity bandwagon rolling again.

We've had enough pain over the last few years to last a lifetime.

Onwards and upwards

Glad to here we are staying and not moving to Dewsbury let's hope we can now move forward with Newmarket asap, to stop the monthly arguments on here because of the lack of news or progress. Great news congratulations to all involved.

I never doubted that we'd be staying - it was a smart move on MC's part to serve notice in line with the break clause and despite the BoI's initial intransigence, it would appear to have had the desired effect; I can only assume that the new rent will be commensurate with the dilapidated wreck it relates to and will take account of the massive cost of maintaining the place as (almost) fit for purpose.

With regard to the NM vs BV situation, I couldn't agree with IA more strongly - NM is the only real option that offers any long term viability, not just for WTW but for additional sports facilities for the City; WMDC and YCP are legally obliged to provide it and it would be perverse for any counter-campaign to help them wriggle out of that obligation. I have to say that it didn't help create a unified voice though, when Rodney Walker went public on a revamped BV - I assume he is back on message?

So, 2 lessons learnt:
1. Just because you don't know what's going on doesn't mean there is goingnothing is going on.
2. Never ever play poker with MC.

Dear god
