The owners of BV want £ 7 million for it , as it is . Total and utter non starter. He wants to put houses on it, he paid approx £ 700,000 for it, owner not going to help us, so would be interested where Ball in Hand thinks the money will come from, then say another £ 10 million to rebuild, its utter nonsence to think that BV is an option.

I guess I was being hugely diplomatic, of course I agree with you. And yes, lets hope the RFL are being informed, how on earth they (the RFL or SL) can twist the knife after all that's being done to the club. Lets hope they show some solidarity and help anyway they can.

I really hope that MC and CB can get SL / RFL to allow us to play at Dewsbury and retain our SL place, then we can move out of Wakefield for good. Would allow MC / CB not have to deal with corrupt Box and his equally bent colleagues.

I imagine we'd probably get a years grace regarding out superleague place. After that we might well be in trouble.

I have never had a reply from the emails I have sent.

The RFL can't even organise the game properly so I doubt they could or would help us

No because we aren't Bradford!

We aren't iconic enough!!

It is more iconic that Bradford's ground

I wouldn't even turn to the RFL their struggling to run the game as it is, it only goes to show how they can ignore the M62 corridor and welcome two french teams a welsh and now Canadian

as much as I'd like us to stay at BV its just not viable, having spoken to a builder working on new mosque it would cost £1/2 million just to remove the flats, anyone got any spare change

Thornes Park?

Houses now not being built and there is a sporting facility already there. It just needs to be developed

some of the older and most loyal fans who arnt on computers are missing out on all the latest news. Wouldn't it be a good time for a meeting at BV to discuss current situation any any possible action plans dont seem to have had one for long time.

This thread is ridiculous

I think its only fair I derail it with a reminisce of the good times I had in the New York bar, the music and tambourines the bar staff played behind the bar between pulling pints, scene of many crash and burn moments that was..


Speaking of bars, I used to go in the Alexandra bar on a Sunday lunch on match days, for a while they had a stripper doing a set till 3, outside the front door was also the scene of my first car crash in a MK3 Cortina.......ahhh, good times...



Both bars, my youth, the MK3 cortina and the strippers are long gone, its time Belle Vue was.

Council save face by lending the community trust money for stadium they get it back with interest preferably on the new City fields.

www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/fo ... -1-8651172 I post this because it is so sad to see what is happening with us but a couple of my friends are involved in this. It's smaller scale than what we need but it is heavily fan led and local authority backed as I recall. It can be done. Can we as fans be mobilised to make something happen outside of protests? I don't know but I am fed up with this fiasco

goodbye super league in Wakefield.

It may well be a pie in the sky idea but at least Charlie is promoting positive ideas, where as you BOJ042 are as negative as ever.

A Supporters Trust now run Scarborough FC I believe. They have been on a very long road back since the demise of the original club. We need to brace ourselves that we too could be on a very long road back from here, albeit we have a strong club with great leadership - at the moment (and hopefully for a long time to come, but I could understand any move Chris and Michael make).

My Mrs was getting angered by all this on Monday after I had a conversation with Armadillo over the phone in the car. She wasbemoaning the years and years spent chasing this and the time lost whilst the family grew up. But in the end, when it come to the question of 'why me', the only answer I can give is that someone has to do it as if we don't, who will, and now we are crammed with all this knowledge and history of the subject, we are committed to see it through one way or another!

The phrase SC likes to use is that we will 'die in a ditch' before we will give in to the injustice that is happening right in front of our faces, and that just about sums it up for me!

I think you've put yourself in a position where you couldn't walk away, I had that feeling half way through the barrier refab, how I managed to get to end gawd knows without the help of others around me, I couldn't do it now even the head said it could, I too look back at what I've done in the last 5 yrs and wished I could of redirected my energies else where.
does anyone know of a film director we could of had a good documentary done on the plight of Wakefield Trinity

I suppose you, TRB and SC do it for the love of the club - although it must be the first thing you think of when you wake up!
So, I can understand why you do it but why does IA do it - is he not a Rhino?

because he's a gentleman who has standards he believes in and fair play is one of them, one hell of a nice guy

Not many about so my hat off and gratitude to him also.

Apart from the pink shirt !!!

As you say he is a nice guy who believes in what we are doing and he is a local living in Stanley.

This has taken over my life almost and like TRB's wife, Mrs Sandal Cat cannot wait until it all end but as TRB has said of me,. I will die in a ditch before I will let this go.
