The £2,000,000 that WMDC and that nice Mr Box pledged for the community stadium would go quite a long way towards the costs

Thanks for those figures there Daddycool.

I thought along similar lines there.

Hypothetically, if we were fortunate and the fundung was there, and PP passed for it, any idea as to what BV's capacity would be at?

Erm.... Just out of interest Harrogate.. Do you live there?

No emotion from me when Hilton park closed, a hole I was happy to see the back of the.

If dewsbury is to be your new home for the foreseeable future then I'd say enjoy it because moving there isn't going the threaten the future of the Wakefield trinity club

Out of interest is there anywhere we can access the minutes from the meetings regarding the stadium?

Would like to thank Mr Carter for coming on here i think its fantastic. Totally understand the cost of Belle Vue been far too much. Dewsbury is more viable but its Dewsbury would not mind going there short term is there any other options around Wakefield. Couldn't your mate koukash help us out lol? Hate our Council with a passion. Would be gutted to leave belle vue but the time is right just i do have fear if super league will keep us in and also in wrestling terms what is a company worth without a ring ? Thanks

FTR, I deal in Groundworks and Landscaping. I did a semi detailed inspection and assessment of the North Terrace, which would involve a complete overlay of the existing. As a minimum it getting close to the £400k mark mentioned above. If BV was ours, I think it may have warranted further investigation, but as it is not ours, nah!

First of all Dewsbury ground is technically in Dewsbury but in all honesty it's what 200 yards out of Wakefield Boundary its nearer Ossett than Dewsbury, so this i won't go to watch trinity because it's not in wakey

Out of interest who owns Dewsbury ground is it Kirklees council or does Dewsbury own it themselves. Would it be possible to buy half share in the ground with Dewsbury and what would the figures be to do this.

It would be relatively costly but if the club could put buses on to and from Wakefield for a nominal fee then people really wouldn't have much of an excuse not to watch at Dewsbury. Maybe for the first two seasons or so, just till people get their heads round the move.
My home games are as much a social event with my mates and acquaintances as just the game itself. We could drive but that takes the social/event side out of the equation, getting to the Dewsbury ground by public transport would be a bind.
But sponsored buses?

So if a perfectly reasonable partnership was forged with the Dewsbury club and the ground was brought up to required standards,and Trinity then went on to have a couple of good seasons, finishing perhaps 4th and 5th some would still absent themselves ? I struggle to understand why?

Oh and don't give me that travel nonsense.Throughout my years supporting I have either used the car or caught two buses.

I've just given it, if you don't like my opinion don't read it, your modes of transport are exactly what I don't wanna do.
I've always been one taxi ride or bus from BV, even walked it a few times, don't fancy two buses and a train to get to a game in pi$$ing rain taking probably a minimum of 50 mins from leaving home to get to a game.

I'll certainly have to be very selective about which games I go to. Public transport/car may suit some, but I live in comfortable walking distance of Belle Vue and that's always been a major factor in why i follow Trinity

That said, i do support Carter in the decision to move the club, Belle Vue is a dump and we've been led down the garden path over a new stadium which the amazing work of the trust is trying to secure for the city

i cant't see why people wouldn't go to Dewsbury to watch us.

Sure we had a plot we were looking at moving to at the side of the M1 near Queens Drive not too many years ago. This site is about 2 miles away from the Dewsbury ground
