Reading some of the comments on other rugby league pages, something else were getting slated for. With Ossett United and Wakefield AFC, having aspirations to be in the football league, how hard it is these days to get plsns for a new stadium, or a revamp approved, plus the current economic climate, to me it makes perfect sense. Also in this day and age, how many stadiums are multi functional

So the 'reporter' has watched MC's Q&A session on Trinity TV.
Insightful journalism that is!

Indeed, word for word from Trinity TV. Surprised the anticipated £500k loss for last year hasn't made it way into the press yet.

On the topic itself, makes complete sense. Football grants seem easier to come by for facility upgrades.

Doesn't the report say MC wants a partnership with someone better than The Dog and Duck type team?

Having the partnership back with Leeds utd would be great for the club. currently the under 23's play at york at their new stadium. Wonder if that would be a possibility and the one that MC is reaching for.

Exactly ! Its no good going through all the faff and effort to get football teams in if there is no financial payback. Emley cost us more to have at Belle Vue than they contributed. We need a team(s) with good potential to be a worthwhile stadium partner. However I really think the possible candidates in the locality are limited.

Exactly! the only one I could see with any potential is Ossett (didn't town and albion merge?) but they have their own stadium don't they? I'm sure it won't be up to the upgraded BV standard, but how many of their supporters would travel to see football played (With respect) at their level? to get LU reserves back would be great and a much better option. As for Wakefield AFC - well if the people of Wakefield are as much interested in football as they are rugby - forget it.

Anything that brings in the cash is a good thing. Will help to improve the whole ground and will mean money for better players and more chance of Grade A status. Wasn't that the whole point of the 4G pitch?

Doesn't matter how many other teams use it, it's location means that it will always be the Wakefield Trinity ground.

It's not a 4G pitch, its a "Hybrid Grass" pitch icon_thumb.gif
Combination of grass, sythetics and retaining membrane
4G is fully synthetic with rubber crumb added

Interested to here how many RL sides share their facilities with soccer teams and whether fans think it is detrimental to their pitch and is the extra revenue worth it. Not sure where Huddersfield, Wigan and Hull stand regards sharing (and at the present time it doesn't look like the following will be troubling any clubs) but didn't the Premier League draw up plans previously that no Premier League team would be allowed to share their pitch with any other sport, or was the recommendation ever passed ?

I suspect they realised that there were leases in place that protected the rugby clubs, so rather than evicting the rugby clubs, it would evict the football clubs.

Top six 2005 - Trinity.:



I wonder if the club are looking at renting the pitch out for sporting events/days etc maybe like local competitions. Perhaps even local gala’s etc.

Not sure if it’s an option but I guess the club will explore many options for generating income.

I wonder if we can link in with any WMDC events to host.

The only option is Wakefield AFC and always has been, sorry but I think Ossett town has zero potential.

It all depends how serious the new owner is, a Brazilian multi-millionaire I'm told.

I believe he'd prefer a new ground just for them, but I also believe he's rapidly realising how hard that is in the UK.

A five year lease to start with is the most likely option and I think he knows it, and Wakefield rather than Featherstone is where they need to be. The main reason other that catchment area is the fact that the FA view Wakefield the city, as an expansion area and will support any start up team in such an area.

How the deal would pan out I don't know for sure, but there are two options as far as I can see.

One, they simply pay rent as a match day facility and see how they progress over five seasons and then decide what to do next.

Two, they become a partner in the ground along with Trinity and WMDC. Both would be minor shareholder and the football team would be secondary the team, no matter what league they are in. This has a fair few benefits for us, we are the landlord and will run the facility and take the lions share of none match day revenue. However Wakefield AFC will be a junior partner in BV and thus should be eligible for FA grants to improve BV. WMDC get a multi-sport facility that they can then justify supporting with ratepayers cash, everyones a winner. Whether it pans out that way is yet to be seen.

Whatever Wakefield FC's ambitions are, not playing on a terrible sloping pitch must be at the top of their agenda.
