You probably have an investment in a debt free Championship Club and thats fine if you're happy with that. If we accept a drop into the Championship then Administration is the way to go. If you wish to stay in Super League then you fight - it still may be a waste of time after but you have to decide if its worth fighting for.
You pays your money (or not) and makes your choice.

Faster than I thought.
Can I offer some advice... forget Newmarket, it just aint going to happen and will be a pipe dream for us all. If you want to continue searching deep down for any glimpse that it may happen then I'll get you two tickets to Guineas day in May so you can get to the see the delights of the real Newmarket.

I will admit Im only guessing here, but have you considered that if you go into administration the club may lose any money still owed to it on Belle vue as this will be the clubs only asset, meaning you would be homeless and asset less.

You believe that if you want to.
In the meantime - we still have a club that represents Wakefield - and that's worth putting up all the slander for.

| Can I ask a simple question to any Wakefield fans on here.
What the hell do you think we should do now because I have not got the faintest idea other than buy my EuroMillions and Lotto tickets this weekend.
Any constructive, and I mean constructive not mickey takes or destructive ideas will be appreciated.

| I have a serious question. As it seems likely that the club are going to move to Barnsley and indeed this is what was voted for last night, why does the club not cash in on Belle vue now? As you know I am not a believer in Newmarket but other seem confident and what ever the future holds it would seem that at some point it will be away from Belle vue. So why not got to Barnsley early releasing the money for Belle vue or at the very least borrow the money that is needed against the money owed on Belle vue?

I would "lend" a hundred quid to a homeless man if I thought it would help to turn his life around, and I would not be bothered about getting it back if I saw him in a years time, in a job, sober, with a small roof over his head. What I wouldn't do is "lend" a hundred quid to a homeless man if I expected to see him in a years time still on the park bench, in a booze-stained coat, just a year closer to his early death, knowing that the hundred quid will have just been wasted on more booze and hopeless living.
It's not the money, it's the uncertainty that would maybe prevent me, and I'm not hearing much to give me any confidence.'" jezz after reading that reminds me of when I gave a relative of mine a couple of hundred as he had hit on had times, he did some work for me and I paid twice the amount so he could get straighten up,

Should we not get a franchise we will need to play at Belle Vue 'til Newmarket is ready.

In that case, keep it open till 2050 at least then.

Fair enough, can you also clear up what would happen to Belle vue if you went into administration. Would it be used to pay of creditors? I say this because surely it would be better to be looking at renting with 1.4
million in bank than nothing.

Depends what you want. If you want SL, well, you have to fund a hell of a load of stuff, starting with a new stadium. Then you have to hope that the people who run the whole gaff will buy your proposal. Then you have to ensure you have the funds to run the whole thing....
Alternatively, you accept the drop. You say "we are Trin", let the present owners deal with the debt, form a supporters' trust from ground zero, and show the rest of the friggin world that we are Wakefield, we are proud, we have our history, and we won't be moved. It may be a waste of time, but at least it'll be fun.
Whatever we do, let's stay united and friends, no matter whether we disagree.

| I've had my cheque book out since yesterday and yet, not a whisper from the club about the details of this share offering - typically amateurish.
If anyone is or was considering buying the club, think on this; NM is now a distant dream thanks to the PI and as such, we are absolutely not getting a franchise. We're skint and desperate and the current BoD are hostages of the clubs debts and liabilities. So - do you buy WTWRFC now for £500k and take on all the historic debts and current liabilities AND be lumbered with TUPE requirements for all the staff, whilst knowing all the while that you're going to lose your franchise in 2012 and see your already weak revenue streams trickle away as a result? OR - do you let it go into administration and have the debts written off, rely on the administrators to release some of the surplus staff and then buy it from them as a lean, mean, ready for the Championship machine, for considerably less than £500k?
I know which I'd do; would be no bad thing either in my view - time to rebuild from the bottom up, and that's not possible with the bent cabal that runs SL constantly breathing down your neck.

Its all about what you want I guess and thats where opinions will vary but could not agree more, let's stay united and friends - we are all Trinity fans after all.

Al, I think it was to guarantee that we would complete the season after the Pearman fiasco following the CVA and not our first season -thats when we did not get SL money.
