I must admit to being baffled by what this might be and will make the hours drive to get to the meeting if I can.

As for Ingfield, not sure how that is feasible short term with a 2k capacity per Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossett_Town_F.C. (is that correct?).

Albert Drive is an interesting suggestion and would be walking distance from my folks



Development of the Belle Vue ground could be interesting but is a major project. However, any ground related issue is for me like Newmarket, subject to planning permission, various hoops and time delays. Announcing something like this in June without planning confirmed would leave me hopeful rather than delighted. I fail to see how any ground/development in the Wakefield city boundaries could be a dead cert without someone already leaking planning permission.

A new investor/joint venture would be nice to know but to compete at the top we need a strong long term revenue stream. That means growing crowd numbers and revenue streams.

Is it an announcement of a potential merger? This may give SL assurance and fit the expansion to a national game per Red Halls (flawed?) mindset? This will certainly not win universal approval from us fans.

Whilst I am certainly intrigued and drawn in by the build up to this meeting I am unsure. The ground issue for me is secondary. The thing I want to know more than anything else, by a country mile, is if we will be in Super League next year. Since the announcement by Red Hall on the franchises is not until the end of July I cannot see in any way how the club can give me this assurance.

To label this as "the most important meeting in the clubs history" is quite a statement. I am intrigued but certainly at this stage, not convinced. Give us a license then I'll get excited.
