Quote: imwakefieldtillidie "The way you feel about that, others feel about Dewsbury.'"


I dont think there is any rivalry between Wakefield and Dewsbury plus, the major attraction with Dewsbury is that it would be outside the "Box" empire.
I've lived in Wakefield for 44 years and I supported them on the terraces for just shy of 30 years and believe me, I dont want Trinity to move out of Wakefield but, with the clock ticking both in terms of the state of BV and the dispensation given by The RFL for playing in an unsuitable stadium, what other realistic choices are there.
Of course, there are politics a plenty to consider as well and sharing with Cas (or Fev) would likely lead to calls for a merger so, again, what choices do we have.

Some people don't mind, but others, myself included feel quite strongly that the club should be based in Wakefield. I could live with a temporary move with a definite timescale on coming back, but anything else and we could lose the identity which attracted a lot of us to support the club in the first place.

Also, I'm still quite happy to watch games at Belle Vue. The facilities aren't really a problem for me.

Ultimately, RL is played by 26 blokes on a piece of grass (or plastic ) and most Trinity fans have got used to watching at BV but, whether you or I mind watching in the crumbling old ground is irrelevant.
IIRC, MC said at one of the fans forums that we had "special" dispensation from THe RFL to continue playing there and the clock is still ticking so, at some point, that option may also disappear ?

Quote: Slugger McBatt "I'll be immensely sad if it comes to pass. As for the developer, they might go "wow, we could build some stuff on this, cheers," and that's the end of Wakefield having a rugby team.

I don't criticise the decision, entirely understandable, and it is indictment on numerous others.

I'll see how I feel when it happens. I support the club because it's the club I have supported since I lived on St Catherine Street when I was 5, but as I am from Wakefield but no longer live there, the connection to the city is important to me. At what point is the club just a limited company? I support the club in Wakefield called Trinity, not the limited company that runs it. But I'll give it a go, and I might find I can live with it. I'm just not sure how I'll feel about doing a 150 mile round trip to watch a team that isn't in Wakefield, even if it is called that.'"


Hi Slugger,

For once I'm intent on being the voice of reason so I'll try my best 1.59814453125:10
