Proof that we never will be all 'together' let alone stronger. A worse slogan than 'The People's Club' and that took some beating. A real relic of the old regime, but obvious who came up with it now.

When Ted was a mere director under Sir Rodney he talked of redevloping and improving Belle Vue, so you can see why the long suffering will not buy into this easily.

We were told by the previous regime that we couldn't develop BV because of objections from the local community. We were told we couldn't develop BV because the terraces were built on some kind of ash, and it would be too expensive to develop on this. We were told by the previous regime that BV would be protected as an asset for the club against investors who only had an eye on the value of the land.

I understand the blah, blah, blah stuff, because I've been living it along with the rest of you for long enough now. The goodwill well has run dry.

Hoodwinked, what a load of crap. Get real folks without what we saw tonight we have no chance of Superleague, this is our chance to fight back.
Remember when you talk of false dawns etc this company is only 3 months old and has so far delivered everything it has promised, it has nothing to do with the previous regime.

Maybe your right but if people within our support feel like this and are not convinced then people outside of the club will certainly see it as yet another scheme to get a franchise, I love BV and would be more than happy to see it improved but I have been told many times that this is happening for it to never happen.

That's my point, we have never been told before by this company

Late night for you, Mr. 4.30 man. You fool nobody.

Grow up man your supposed to be a mod?

He got a scooter??

So what's the alternative do nothing, I am not in a position to tell people what to do but I know I want to fight and do something so if putting £2 a week (less than a pint) into this club 1873 may help then I will do it, this is my club and I intend to show, like all the people who showed up tonight, that I ain't going down without a fight.
Easy to sit back and poor scorn, a lot harder to actually try and do something about it.

Sorry wrong thread

Seems Mr G has joined the Mr W club in spinning some yarn then.............

If this has been the other way around, you Wakey fans would have jumped on this like a flash !!!

It was just about what I expected last night let’s get real we were never going to get an announcement that Newmarket was going to be built next year or Silkwood Park.
I will support the membership scheme because without it we are dead in the water
Maybe a tad disappointed that the big investment from a 3rd party is not coming in but then again will it ever unless we get Newmarket?
The announcement ref Belle Vue is good Will this go ahead if we lose our licence in July I doubt it, it would be a waste of money if the move to Newmarket was still on.
The biggest fear is if we lose our SL licence I for one could not see us getting back in 2015 maybe ever Newmarket or no Newmarket.

Maybe because Glover believed the 'bluff and bluster' of the stay aways who were going to come back in their droves if/when Ted left. He offered a fantastic deal on silver memberships and still they wouldn't buy into the club therefore he has had to come back to those of us who have already contributed. Now it's up to you who you choose to blame for the fact that we don't have 5,000 members but Andrew Glover is way, way down that list if he's on it at all.

That's exactly was we thought in 1995 with the centenary, yet come 98........

As an outsider i can understand how you feel. What i have picked up is that regardless of what / will wont happen and whether it will affect you getting a franchise there is something else going on.
What Glover seems to be doing in possibly the only way that he can is to give the fans some hope, develop a fighting spirit, increase fan participation and develop some community spirit.

Additionally it is trying to sort the club out financially and give you the strength to survive in whatever division you end up in.

If half of what Glover is offering comes off then at least you will survive if you go down and then have the chance to come up in 2015 and there is still the outside chance that it may persuade the RFL to give you another chance of a franchise at this time.

This would seem to be as much about the long term future of the club as it is in the short term. At least it looks like you will not be going to Oakwell and will be staying at Belle Vue or at best if NM comes off you will be going there..
