| Quote ="Starbug"Not wanting to look through the whole thread but is this stadium to be a council owned and run facility
If it is be very careful
You could find yourself out of pocket compared to Belle Vue
The whole ' ethos ' of new stadia is that they work for you 7 days a week generating money , which is fine if they are generating money for your club but if they have to generate money to pay overpaid , unneccessay council staff to run them , then things dont work out quite the same
You must make sure that you are the ones running it , yes you might have to have a couple of council controlled ' watchers ' in the management but if it ends up as council run it will be of no financial benifit
Hope it works out for you , also make sure there is at least a full side standing'"
Over to you Phil, you can explain this one better than us. Its all to do with some kind of community trust charity or something or other, won't be council owned as far as I'm aware the community trust will own it and the stadium will be there to use by all the community. The fact that we are the only professional sports team in the area that are likely to want to use the stadium (unless all goes t1t5 up at cas) is merely an added bonus!

But will they run it ?
The council didn't stump up a hardly any of the money for the LSV , they did however underwrite it and the running of it
Believe me if it end up like the situation at Leigh you will not be happy

Believe me, if the RFL think that we will end up staying at Belle Vue, we'll be even less happy.

The point I am making is to get the right deal for your club you must do everything in your power to make sure that the management of the club is in charge of the running of the stadium
Ignore this at your peril

Thats good asvice as I know very well what the situation is at Leigh!
At some point the jobsworths that are running the LSV will realise that their shiny new stadium is all very nice but they NEED someone to play in it.
Alienating the Centurions and Genesis for that matter is counter productive in the end. They need to understand the requirements of a professional club and make some of the facilities available to them instead of booking it out to all and sundry just to make a an extra few quid.
I know that a lot of the Leigh staff are very bitter about the way they have been treated and in many ways they wish they had stayed at Hilton Park.
I don't think Trinity will be making that mistake with this new stadium.

| Congratulations on the news of your new stadium, hope everything goes to plan.
P.S. I would imagine there will be scope for expanding to 15.000 at a later date.
Good luck..

Just simple things like a weights room that you can use for Free , If Leigh want to train on any part of the LSV including the stadium pitch they have to pay for it , in fact they are not allowed to train on it at all
Our home form so far this year has been about as good as our display at belle vue the other week

I get your point, but there is no way we can be worse off. With it we get a franchise and without it we don't and that is 1.5 million a year. We simply can't afford not to have it, even if pound for pound it isn't as useable as BV.

Your input is appreciated.
The stadium will be controlled by the Community Trust. Yes it includes councillors, but they are only part of the trust. A sub-committee (Sir Rodney & Co) are tasked with delivering and then operating the stadium, with the intention being that it is a stadium for us all, with Trinity the anchor tennants.
The rental costs etc have already been considered, having already been looked at previously as well when discussing Thornes.
All sorted!
