Believe it if it helps get you through the night, nothing wrong with that. It is made up though.

I believe and hope for every positive stadium rumour never expect it to happen but we are the kings of stadium rumours.

We've certainly had enough practice!

Heard new ground's gonna be at Sparrer Park next to Flansher beck.

What about old empire stores site?

96 houses going on there shortly.

Heard today the superbowl site has been sold?

Have you heard from a reliable source?

I bought it. Gonna build a mosque on it.

Those plastic bollards have gone,

I hear we have it. Reliable source but I will only believe it when I see it.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but that is completely wrong.
Yes the site has been sold and it's not to us or the trust, without the Super Bowl site the upgrade of BV is dead in the water. The company who have bought Superbowl are the preferential bidders for BV.
Make of that as you will but we the speccis are going to have to get our heads round Dewsbury as there aren't any more options.

So who are the preferential bidders?

A property company from Leeds

Its being bought early by the other main bidder as a blocking mechanism as they know that without it we have no real interest and are likely to pull out of the bidding. I'm not 100% whether the sale is actually done and dusted yet, contracts exchanged etc, and it is, for now at least, still listed as for sale on the agents site but the end is as nigh as it gets for Belle Vue. The fat lady is just finishing the last verse and building up for the big finish.

But conversely, if 'we' then bought BV then the superbowl site wouldn't be very useful to them either?

IF any bidder other than someone on behalf of the Community Trust is the preferred bidder, it's no wonder that MC wants to move out of the City.
What is going on ?

Political will is a major factor in getting large project to proceed and for Trinity, it's just not there.
Cas on the other hand seem to have full backing and support for their scheme, mind you, that hasn't been built yet either.



IF we were to get to Wembley and be victorious, we ought to have our civic reception in Dewsbury Town Hall, Wakefield, under the current council regime neither wants or deserves any professional sporting organisation.

I know that TRB and his colleagues probably cant say anything but, it would be nice to know what their realistic expectations are or whether we ware still just hoping for any assistance of any kind from York court (or whoever).

Is the property company from Leeds the same won that been giving us difficulties?

Major issue there is Belle Vue is about for to five times the cost and we don't have a pot to pee in. Even with the ground there the property company could stick some flats on the land they've just bought and not lose out, maybe even turn a small profit in time, whilst we'd be stuck with a crumbling ground we can do nothing with which is costing a fortune to maintain.

Does this mean yet again we have been shafted by the holy Trinity of Peter Box Colin Mackie and Sir Rodney Wa*ker

A property company? Or a construction company?

I ask because I heard a rumour that a certain Mr Caddick (or his money anyway) was involved somewhere???

Just what I was wondering too

A property company, and no Caddick involvement as far as I understand.

Don't know.

But we haven't bought BV and they have bought Super Bowl .
