Look forward to seeing you get hammered down at POR on 2012!!! Your club is going to be a victim of the way it voted. SL clubs voted for this system so clubs have to accept the consequences. 12 years of SL money and you've nothing to show for it. Back to 1500 fans you had before promotion to SL then.

A sad sad day, absolutely devestated. Doubt we'll make it through this.

Thanks for your contribution.

Most of the running seems to have been done by SWAG, the people in charge of the club are clueless. It should have been sorted years ago.This club has kept going in spite of Ted and his cronies, not because of them. Now the luck has run out. Goodbye wakey Trin, its been coming for a long time. Sad times.

Not much choice when the door gets slammed in your face for 3 years.

Would it be possible to stay at Belle Vue and accept the Championship or is the sale complete?

Lets not give up just yet! This is a massive setback but there has to be options!!

The club have to talk to Barnsley now and try and come to an agreement to play there until Newmarket is ready. Saints are playing at Widnes next year i think, so surely the RFL could not turn down us playing at Oakwell?? With all the problems the Welsh club have had recently and they will still be in the league. Look how many times Fulham/London Broncos/Harlequins have played at different grounds.

They surely would be grounds for court cases if they booted us out as it would be preferential treatment, i am not a lawyer or in fact knowledgable on law but would could claim loss of income etc etc.

The club could try and run a transport service to Oakwell from the City centre to reduce the impact of the additional travelling on our fans.

We as a club have come through so much in the last few years, we all need to pull together and make this happen. I will go to Oakwell and support my team!

well done bod, sold the ground with knowhere to play, top effort

Press Release 14-12-10

Re: Public Inquiry for Newmarket

The news today that the Secretary of State, Mr Pickles, has decided to call for a Public Inquiry to determine the outcome of the planning application for the Newmarket development is clearly disappointing as the SWAG committee were, and remain, confident in the fact that the benefits associated with the development are more than sufficient to make this an extremely viable application.

Having received a unanimous decision from the Planning Committee on the 22nd October, we were hopeful that the weight of support for the scheme, including the handing over of the 15,000+ signature petition, would prove to be strong enough to persuade Mr Pickles and his officers to hand the final decision back to Wakefield Council to determine. Regrettably, this has proved not to be the case.

The exact ramifications from the decision remain to be seen; details such as how long will the process take and what type of information will be required to assist with the Inquiry are yet to be worked out - but SWAG can already confirm it's dedication to support the Newmarket proposals for as long as it takes until the scheme is either given final approval, or until someone determines that the scheme cannot proceed (although we consider the chances of the latter outcome to be remote).

We will now begin the discussions with the concerned parties over what action we may take to show help the scheme, and we are confident that those many people who have worked hard to support the campaign for a new Stadium in Wakefield will again offer their assistance if and when called upon.

In summary, we see today's announcement as merely the beginning of another phase in the effort to provide Wakefield with the Sporting Facilities which this City can be proud of.

I ain't giving up - no way!



This is Wakefield - Together we are Stronger!

I believe it was for both clubs.

agree 100%

put the knighthoods, OBES, MBES and freedom of the city back in the draw.

Yes you are correct on that point, as long as both clubs remain in super league.

TRB:









Come on lad's we don't just give up round here.
We need to get more fans through the gates asap, that can start with us; sod bring a friend, bring 3.
We can all assist in this.

No way will this be the end of us!!

Don't talk daft! WE ARE WAKEFIELD.

That is the sort of spirit you all need, don't give up on your club, i know most of you won't do, so i wish you luck and hope all turns out ok for you, i personally have a lot of time for Wakefield RL club, from a Leyther.

gutted but not down and out



time to roll them sleeves up again

Red Hall will be rubbing their hands with this news no pressure on them now to kick us out in favour of Crusaders and their Championship love child Widnes.

But I have said on this site and the other before how badly run we are off the field for years, I get the usual red/white/blue tinted glasses response, maybe its finally caught up with us. I hope for the sake of all the people at SWAG and the community department that this isnt the case but the BOD and the rest of the hangers on need to have a good long look at their selves in the mirror.

I do not want to slag Championship clubs off as the games are usually more exciting than SL and SL isn't the b all and end all but if we go to the Championship we will never get back to SL EVER.

Then you would have seen the Widnes Under 18's dominate this division finishing top of the league, whilst your under 18's finished 8th!



Another fine example of how the Championship clubs are developing and contributing to better rugby league standards in this country, we have championship youth squads turning over Super League youth squads week in week out. You shouldn't be so fast to dismiss the quality of the Championship when you clearly don't have a clue about it.

I really don't want to see Wakefield go into administration but your attitude is totally wrong one to have. Your club is not being run well and that needs to be sorted out. Three years in the championship is the perfect opportunity to rebuild the business plan and structure of the club to be run more efficiently and sensibly.

The Championship is not the end, it's a vibrant, competitive competition. That gets better year on year. You're only kicking up a fuss now because you are at threat. You didn't seem bothered about promotion and relegation a couple of years back when you considered yourself a safe bet for Super League and couldn't give a monkeys about anyone else as long as you were getting your 3 years in SL.

I know your opinion is not shared by the majority of the other Wakefield supporters. Saying you are not going to support your team if they drop down a division says to me you are not a true supporter, a true fan sticks with their team through thick and thin, atrue fan sticks with their team at a time when they need them most and that means standing on the terraces week in week out whether its in Super League or The Championship!

To all the other Wakefield fans I really hope you sort your problems out soon and good luck!

If people are talking of not going to watch should the club not be in Super League, what kind of 'supporters' are they? Clubs don't go up from the Championship to Premiership in union unless up to scratch, let alone from the Conference to the Football League, and every league below. Rugby League is not the only sport when clubs are not promoted based purely on on-field success.

as SHANE once said nevers a long time.the bod are a shambles who take everyone for granted, sl, rfl, its own fans,its own staff. corner shop crew at best

Still gutted but if theres a club left after all this then i'll follow them anywhere



WAKEY TILL I DIE!

=#FF0000Edit Bigal1, not needed

This is not the end, Oakwell for a year then Newmarket will be ready and this City will have a stadium to be proud of.


TRINITY FOREVER

Oh dear.

We'll never compete with Leeds in regards to anything. Nobody save for Trin fans and a few conservationists are bothered about the district.
