Isn't Belle Vue the oldest professional rugby league ground in the world? |

I think Headingley beats it. They played in belle vue originally but on a different site, I think. Then to heath common? before the present site.

| If all else fails we could move in with a local club, with an alright ground, from the lower leagues, get ourselves a double barrelled club name and when we're back on our feet we can then move out, take a couple of their best players and leave them for dead.....  |

Guys, I appreciate that there is frustration and I genuinely wish there was more I can tell you. It is a couple of months since we met with Sir Rodney and the position is pretty much as I told it. Until all the ducks are in a row, there will be little / no news, but seeing as many of you thought we wouldn't get this far, all I can do is ask you to keep the faith. The only thing to doubt is the timescale, not the outcome.
Just a note to remember - at the point the NM site was removed from the Greenbelt under the LDF there was nothing to stop Yorkcourt sacking off the application that includes the stadium and re-applying without it. That they did not and, having now confirmed the application by completing the reserved matters, they have committed to it.
That's all I can give you - but it seems to be a million miles away from where we were 10 years ago!

Forgot about Headingley, which Wikipedia says they played at first in 1889. The proper new stands mask the age of the place. 1895 was when we moved in. You can't imagine a cycle track around the old girl now can you? |

Facilities and capacity won't come into it anymore. WTW's only problem would be getting kicked out of Belle Vue. I can't see that happening either as long as you keep paying the rent you should be OK. Has the club looked into buying back the stadium from the Bank ? |
