Gutted. The club is now going to die a slow and painful death and lets not kid ourselves, Leeds Council have probably had more to do with this outcome then those useless set of NIMBY's.

So much for the development being in line with Pickles "Big Society"

If your Yorkcourt the PI reduces the need to provide funding for the community stadium, they can just sit tight and wait for the redesignation and build only the Warehouse Units.

Having said all that, the fact remains that the Corner Shop mentality of the people that have presided over the club is what will really lead to our demise. This was a last shot and was never going to be straightforward. Their actions and inactions have led us to this last chance saloon and we have no chance of getting fresh blood in now.

Doesn't tell us anything we dont already know.

Lets just hope the plan B is a good one and will help us secure the future of the club.

Sir Rodney has 164,000 reasons to be disappointed and astounded with the decision

Are you mad? Championship clubs accept "their pathetic lot"? I understand hardly any of you were supporting us when we voiced our original concerns but that doesn't mean we haven't been voicing them.

I sincerely do hope things work out for you lot, as a resident of Wakefield, this city needs a top flight team.

Obviously not at the expence of Cas but i do hope things get sorted.

Its not being out of super league that will end us,its being out of super league coupled with no ground that will finish us.
I cant imagine it being financially viable to play non super league out of Oakwell.
A ground share with either of the other WMDC clubs would only lead to mergers.
Out of super league and with no ground,i cant see a solution that would enable the club to continue.

There's always one who gets a little bit giddy and incontinent at moments like this.

Discussion is welcome, insults aren't, and won't be tolerated.

Had to change it cos his got modded, so seriously now what are the options for Trin?

Can only see one option Mate.

We hope and pray the RFL will swallow our plan B and award us a license based on playing from a stadia that meets the requirements.

dont know what to say other than i feel sorry for you guys espacially the people who have put their heart and souls into making newmarket happen.im sure the club and swag will come out fighting but whether its enough to convince the rfl i dont know.

im sure rugby league was a sport but in recent years you after wonder when politics can decide a clubs fate.

The championship clubs didn't just sit back and 'accept their pathetic lot' but they weren't given a choice and they were on their own as the SL clubs were happy to be ringfenced in SL and sod the rest. It is only now that some of the SL clubs (yours included) have come under threat that they are suddenly agreeing with what the Championship clubs said 3 years ago. And as i'm sure you've noticed complaining isn't going to get you very far but that doesn't mean that you are 'accepting' it does it?

Maybe if more clubs like Cas, Wakey and Salford had complained 3 years ago, as the Championship clubs did, when the system was being brought in then it might have been avoided. But they stuck with their 'im all right jack' attitudes and are only bothered now that they might end up on the other side of the closed door that SL is becoming.

Most Championship clubs and fans aren't happy with the current system but seeing as there is little we can do we might as well just enjoy our rugby in what is a very exciting and competitive league.

Nozzy, don't worry mate, theres an awful lot of dissapointment on here at the moment. I'm sure some comments aren't coming out as they are meant to be.

If we do end up in the Championship I'm sure it won't be half as bad as it seems. I have seen some cracking NL games on sky this past season. (most involving Leigh of course!

)

Wouldn't go see Wakey in Glasshoughton!

Lookin on the bright side,if we go to Oakwell it means we're not within ten miles of another Super league club so one more tick in the franchise box.

Think its 20 miles ain't it? So we wouldn't even get that.

Been to many games have we?








No thought not.

This decision is bewildering and totally counterintuitive and represents a huge and probably fatal blow.

All the other good things that *could* have happened, were predicated upon getting the stadium moving; clearly, that's not going to happen for at least another year, by which point I would expect York Court to have moved on and our SL application to have been declined, with a great sigh of relief at Red Hall.

Close, but no cigar.

if we go into the championship then its not the end of the world as long as we got rid of this shambolic board and coach, who have penny pinched there way through sl and starved the club of investment. weve had chances to build a ground before with ossett and we messed that up. weve known about the situation long enough and i know that people have worked towards a new ground which still might happen,but the blame if we get kicked out lays firmly at the bod who couldnt run an egg and spoon race. i think theyve had some idea hence signing nobody players on 1 year contracts. the bod didnt even have the balls to tell the staff what had happened and they found out on here. its a joke and the sooner they go the better. but whos gonna take over, well who could do any worse.

I still think you can avoid the drop but, as you say, if you do come down it isn't going to be as bad as some will make out.

With regards to Oakwell not being viable in the championship... I don't know all the details but Sheffield Eagles cope well enough playing out of Bramall Lane which belongs to the football club. So maybe it is possible for you to play out of Oakwell even if the worst did happen and you lose your SL spot if you had a similar arrangement?

Absolutely gutted! God knows where we go from here,if yorkcourt decide to cut and run the clubs finished.I'm going to get smashed tonight and sod work tomorrow.Thanks to TRB and IA for all the hard work,this aint a fair world if your a Trin fan.

I have been to thousands of games. I don't bother with the chapionship that much as I prefer to watch our under 18's and under 20's as the standard is higher.

We've only ourselves to blame 10-15 yr of false promises and hype...

Other clubs fans will state this and it's hard to argue, how many different sites have we had? Ossett? Queens drive? Thornes park?! Newmarket?!

Glum

How can you blame us for newmarket. The site has only been identified for a couple of years and to get it to a stage where planning is passed (locally) and funding is in place in such a short period is fantastic. Say what you like about everything else but no one could have done more to make Newmarket happen. Infact it could still happen but not as quickly as we would have liked but that dosn't help I know.

Absolutely gutted by this news. A couple of months ago we were all celebrating the news that we had a chance of getting a license, now we are fuming at the news that pretty much kills our license hopes. Championship here we come, unfortunately.

Disappointment beyond belief.

Jeez, I hope all your fans don't share your snobbish sounding views on Championship rugby (and I'm sure they do not). If your going to bail on your club as soon as they leave the top flight then i'm sure you won't be missed all that much anyway.

To all the rest of the wakey fans, best of luck with your stadium and your SL bid.
