cos they only got you all their to sign you up to the lottery, which people did cos they were under pressure to do so as they felt they would be rewarded with the main news.

No problem there then , just a shame the past is just that the past. this is RL it doesnt matter what has gone before, lets just all move on to the next failure as a group and cover over the cracks.

Me neither, why spend a supposed amount of millions for repairs to a ground for 3 seasons ? Especially considering over those 3 seasons, we will probably make a loss as a club anyway. Its not like the money spent on the repairs will come flooding back into the club and pay for itself. Sky money or no Sky money, we will still struggle to post a profit for the season, and the same applies to a lot of the SL clubs.

I know that's if your building a new stadium, but a redevelopment couldn't be carried out till the off season and could potentially be ready for next season.

You are right! It was a calculated risk to get as many there as possible. Plus it has already been reported to the media and will be splashed all over the next week or so.

You have both failed to start work on a new ground before the deadline day, so why would this put you in a better light, infact from a business point of view its stupid to spend all that money on something when you could be getting the go ahead for a new stadium in a matter of months. And the RFL are mad to put clubs in this position.
The RFL is a shambles.

| Unless another announcement is made by another club which trumps it.
Oh and I suspect England v Exiles will take precedence, complete with RFL comments, particularly if it's a triumph.

I could not attend so take what is written on here as truth.
Telling people it's the most important meeting ever and then asking to spend money on membership/lottery.
A build up to whip up the crowd consisting of people you respect similar to how make a million semenars are structured.
Multiple sittings because of the hype. No solutions/resolutions/answers only another possibility and a drawing of what might be.
People expect results at a big presentation meeting not ideas and plans. It's less impressive than the Newmarket/thornes build up which were delivered with less hype.

For once I agree with you, I think from Trinity's point of view and most other people, once you're out of SL it will be very very hard to get back in and maybe that why this decision has been taken

| thinking about this announcement, AG wouldnt bother with this if you werent going to get the liscence... is it possible that he has had a little word from RFL that we will get a liscence. otherwise he is wasting his money dewveloping a championship ground, which isnt a good business move for anyone ... just a thought

| Although it wasn't the massive announcement we were all hoping for it is still big and it shows that we really do mean business and we are going to fight all the way.
I am more confident of us achieving a longer stay in Super League than I was before the meeting.

All very good but this is not a media battle but a board room battle with other clubs and the RFL to get a slice of the sky money and the SL status or be swept out of the main stream rugby consciousness for good as the introduction of SL and lack of Pand R has done for many a good club.

| I cant take this news serious at all.
Just another in a long line of plans and drawings.
Doesnt make any sense.
Why would anyone fund the redevelopment of a ground they dont own and potentially will be moving out of in 2/3 years.
Even if there is someone daft enough to fund it,cant see it been ready for start of 2012 season and cant see the RFL been gullible enough to believe it.
