So, with no actual will to make a stadium provision be delivered & a council that talks the talk alas we are doomed & we have
Trusted all other parties but have been outwitted,
My prediction is MC will reluctantly walk away from two fronts, no SL & no stadium, in short insufficient fund generation when
Looking to what the future holds !

Happy new year

Hope your wrong, we will see.

Up the Trin

The Cluster Server Recovery Execution Service?

Are people forgetting the club has a mortgage of 1.5 million to pay back to the council which we will not be able to pay it we are/do become a championship club ?
We currently have one he'll of an academy + pool of players, future players will not look at trinity if they become a championship club !
We operate as a club in 10th position, MC says.

I have tried to remain optimistic over the years for getting the stadium redeveloped, but this past 2 years it’s become apparent the developers are playing the long game, waiting For the club to disappear without having to pay what they owe the club. Trinity won’t be in top tier without ground improvement, and Cas could easily go the same way.

Wasn’t the last update that the club were trying to get meetings sorted to discuss the financial side with parties but those parties were ‘Unavailable’ for a period of months. They are doing exactly that. Playing underhand and dirty cards and seem to have little intention to even discuss let alone part with any amount towards the development of the east stand.

Despite all the forward movement on the Newmarket sure it seems we can’t even get a meeting sorted to discuss contributions.

I was optimistic initially because MC and JM seemed positive but that’s pretty much been eroded now and I’m in the cynical it’s not happening camp.

If it doesn’t happen then I fear that’s trinity’s long term future in peril.

A September start for demolishing the East Stand won't be happening as was hoped by the club.

Here we go again

at what point is every one going to understand until the council stop them building and make them honour the reduced project it will never happen

10 team SL would be horrific not even negotiating this one.

Which is why any future build at NM should have a pre commencement condition lodged against until the stand at BV is built/operational and the council need to be strong enough to enforce it. Will it happen? I'm not holding my breath, we've been had many times before, why is this time going to be any different.

If we want new facilities we have to find the resources elsewhere, and that isn't exactly an easy thing to do. Best we can hope for is to get in bed with football and use the grants available in that sport, but that has its own issues.

Am I wrong but I read it as a 20 team SL in 2 divisions, so lower division would still be SL , also didn't they say that money differences between the 2 division's would less and that they would try to get a tv deal for the lower division? It would not be like going into the championship

You are not wrong but the reality is it would last about 2 years before the SL 1 pulled up the draw bridge, if this is the long term goal just get on with it an organise the game accordingly, I am happy to do local derbies etc and have the local banter I do not want to go to France, Canada or wherever else these sold called expansionist developers want to go and eat cake and leave the game locally in a mess.

Sorry to say that I think you have been suckered mate.
There isn't sufficient Sky monies to maintain a 12 club SL. Therefore, the 2nd tier would be "Super League" in name only and in many ways will be poorer than the current "Championship".
If anyone thinks that it's SL 1 and SL 2, they are very badly mistaken, it's a sugar coated cyanide pill, which, with Toulouse likely to be in SL 1, means that 3 current SL clubs face the chop.

Exactly this. It’s a back door power grab by the big clubs and once they have the system they want the drawbridge will be up and it will be by invite only.

I think you're right - it's a little bit like the top football club s wanted to do recently.-think about themselves only.
Perhaps it's time for a split

I have supported Trinity since 1975 in that time I have seen more promises and false dawns regarding stadium development than I care to remember. Always someone else’s fault never the fact the club has been badly run for the vast majority of the last 50 years present owner excluded.
It’s never going to happen! It’s never going to happen at Castleford either Featherstone Rovers despite being in the lower league since 1996 have put both clubs to shame in that time!
The only way forward if we don’t want to see all 3 clubs die a slow death in the amateur competition outside super league is to put old rivalries apart pool limited recourses and merge all 3 clubs in a community stadium the Wakefield 5 towns can be proud of.
Time to get out of the Stone Age and move forward because at this rate all three clubs will go under!

Wow, djcool is right about thing any development @ new market to works completed @ Belle Due etc, do not say it cannot be done, asda were tied to building a road first in order to build a supermarket ! But & a big But, the council wanted it & therefore ensured it
Happened !!!!
With regard to SL 1 & other lower clubs, Sky hold all the dictat by tightening financial controls, lowering monies knowing no other
Broadcaster will come near their deal, they have us on the cheap tied by our fear of no monies at all.
By the way no one will touch SL \2 as there will be fewer viewers similarly to the football trying a deal for the championship etc.
The four clubs that go down, then any of those fans who have sky sports WILL cancel, just as I will/ would.
10 teams playing 18 games is 10 games short of the 28 games clubs say they need now for funds from spectators ?
That means playing each other 3 times & four if you count cup games ! Neutral will not watch that & will say, what's the point ?

Going back to the stadium- Am I missing something here.I thought the developers had agreed to fund at least the new east stand, dependant on them getting one of their projects passed.I remember John Minards saying he was peed off with a lack of progress, but are we now saying they are trying to wriggle out of it.Because if that was the case we should be calling them out.

I don't know where posters on here get their information from, I assume it's their guess as to what the situation is regarding the ground, otherwise surely they'd qualify and evidence what they were saying?
If the previous posts are true and there is some concern as to progress, you say we should be calling them out - I think it should be WMDC who should be calling them out, because their involvement in this whole affair has been absolutely disgraceful.
The last council leader, in particular and the present one should hang their heads in shame, BUT they are not the whole council, what about the councillors who sit in the chamber with them , they are party to it as well.
Perhaps it's time for a mass protest to our local councillors to demand that they do the job they were voted in to do and make these developers stick to the deal and threaten them with legal action if they don't?

Fair comment 1315.I would say that the only thing we can do at present is be directed by the BOD.We are all speculating until John M gives us the lowdown.

Has there being an official announcement that I’ve missed here?

No. Just the usual pointless what's happening with the stadium question somewhere in the back pages.

Any stadium update
