You've gotta respect AG but to me all that turned out to be is a big sales and PR push. And thats what i'm getting tired of. I want the game to be about whats happens on the pitch, not about who can shout the loudest. Rugby league has lost its sole and whilst I love my club, i've fallen out of love with the game its involved with. As things stand i'd love to see the club retain its licence but it probably won't affect me either way because my enjoyment is waining to such an extent that the chances of me doing the round again next year are slim, superleague or otherwise.

Why did you bother going if you already knew what was going to be said?...oh wait, that's right, you didn't. Mind that egg doesn't get in your eyes...

Agreed

So go on then Charlie enlighten us, what did you exspect, it is no use saying he should of some thing better..??

1) He can not do any thing about New Market it is out of his hands
2) I for one would love a roof over the stands sick of getting wet
3) And yes he as asked every one to join a lottery, But it is fact we need 5,000 members it is not his rules but the RFL, at least he as made it intresting by putting in weekly draws of £250 and two yearly draws of £3,000, discounts and other offers.....

And most of all every penny goes to youth development to keep hold of the best young talant and keep them at Trinity.... SO ALL THIS IS BULL GET A GRIP...

It's not AG's fault or the clubs, it's what the RFL has created.

I am really pleased with tonights meeting, I think it was a big announcement, we need 5000 signatures to tick a franchise box and by getting everyone to Cedar Court, getting bums on seats, stirring speeches from John Kear and Neil Fox people would sign up - I think Andrew Glover showed excellent marketing skills, he is putting his money where his mouth is by developing Belle Vue and giving the ground much needed atmosphere, I applaud Andrew James and all the staff, its only a few months ago we nearly didn't have a club to support, at least now we are in with a fighting chance of getting a franchise.

Not saying it is his fault, he's gotta play the game, sadly its a game i'm sick and tired of. The RFL have a lot to answer for.

They obviously didn't expect such a massive turnout which can't really be helped. Do you expect them to crush people into a room not adequate to hold them and risk people's H & S? They didn't ask anything, you were free to leave at any point, they offered to show you exactely the same as others had seen because they value you as a supporter

What you make of the news is your opinion, but i'd suggest maybe you have a break from the computer and spend some time with your family, and when you've calmed down post in a reasonable and constructive manner

so are the wildcats still planing to move into a new satdium if so why would you spend alot of money improving bell vue

It does not matter how you dress it up, tonights news was mutton dressed up as mutton with a mint leaf on it. Im still being informed other stuff to come but quite frankly i probably will not believe it even if i do see it.

AG did his best to get a bigger venue, How many on here thought that many people would turn out..??

Yes they may of talked it up, but ay he is a sales man and a good one and give him time and backing, and I truely think he can take us forward... come on "Together We Are Stronger"

Very patronising....................But good!!

The club announcement built up expectations along with peoples hopes ie silkwood park Parkin and his millions which is why people feel underwhelmed.The news is good if it means we meet all the requirements to get a new licence then why are some people not happy.

I think there might be a case of schadenfreude with some of the cas fans posting on this thread. Just a check on their other vile forum they use shows what nasty little things they might have planned to put on a popular video sharing website.

Yes, Newmarket is still a priority, but PI will not be sorted til May next year. AG is upgrading BV to make it as near compliant as possible for 2012 for the RFL.

Yes the RFL as got clubs fans back biting each other, over this, I think a united front from all of the rugby league family, march on red hall and say enough is enough, bring back P AND R, and fine clubs that do not up grade the grounds...??

Because on the surface of it, it just looks like another attempt at swaying a decision but nothing to follow it up with, even if AG has every intent of pulling this off, to fans of other clubs it is just same old wakey.

Anybody know how much it will cost and whos funding it?

Wakefield cannot add to the document they submitted on April 1. That is what the licensing decision will be made on. How can this, or any, announcement make a difference? That is why there was a deadline so that clubs could be judged over the 3 years and not some cobbled together idea a month before the franchise decision.

I’ve waited until I’ve calmed down and thought about tonight before posting. Underwhelming was and still is the initial thought; however it could also turn out to be a master stroke.

Everyone talks about Cas’s PR machine and tonight we played the same game, sure people will be upset at being asked to give more money to the club (a lot of fans will have already given close to 300quid to the club already) but it shows the club’s desire to fight. But almost as importantly, it makes a massive mockery of the RFL’s 5000 box ticking target if a glorified lottery scheme counts towards it. All I can say is well done to Wakefield exploiting for this.

As for redeveloping Belle Vue, it is so good to see that the club again are doing something about the current state to fight for that super league place. However more questions come of this than answers, and hopefully they’ll be answered before much longer. These include: DO we need to apply for planning permission and if we do surely it’s too late to count now? Will they get done without a Super League Licence? Who are the other investors that are working with Glover to develop them?

I think the idea is this is in the application or at least i would hope it is.

F' em.

AG didn't give a figure, he said himself and other investor/investors were footing the bill.

Really not impressed, the plans on the web site look so amateurish. Plans, i should say sketch. How long will it take before we can apply for planning permission. Not a good night at all.

Did anybody ask? cos if it wasn't in the document then it is misleading the fans as this can't be counted towards their SL application.
