Even if there was money to develop Belle Vue I still think it would be a Folly to spend it on the place. The whole area of Belle Vue is a run down mess and it should embarrass the City. I hate going down there and if it was not for the ground I wouldn't go anywhere near it. I know Cas has its dodgy areas but nothing like Belle Vue and Agbrigg. I bet Box would not allow a ghetto like that in his beloved Cas.

I don't think Box gives a flying fig about Wakefield and anyone in it, You have only to look at MyWakefield the councils twitter page and the photograph on the welcome page. No its not the Hepworth or chantry chapel not even the new council building Wakefield one. Its the bloody foot bridge over the river at Castleford

Could it simply come ddown to finance and the benefits Wakefield get out of Dewsbury say rather than Featherstone.

We may have been offered rental at both but a cheaper rent at Dewsbury. There could be other benefits involved.

Michael Carter is no mug.

They will also be absolved of any responsibility for running a sports ground. We of course have to live with the decision whatever that turns out to be.

Belle Vue is the oldest dedicated rugby league ground in the world now that what I call iconic, not some converted rubbish tip in Bradford
The history of the ground, the team and it's achievements over 140 years are being abandoned shame on Box and his cronies

My neighbour seems to think the Super Bowl is going to be a garage and food outlet like the one down at J39 with Gregg's, Subway etc.
Anybody heard this or am I a bit behind with rumour?

My job involves me basically driving and visiting people all round the WMDC area daily, believe me there are much worse places than BV & Agbrigg. It's just run down tbh.

I don't think your far off the mark there Manuel.

Not a mosque backed by the council, what a surprise.
I wonder if the dropping of the Wildcats tag is more to do with the fact it does not start with the same letter as Kirklees rather than history.

Rhinos doesn't begin with "L" either ??

Dewsbury Trinity has a bit of a ring to it but, we should all be fighting to keep Wakefield Trinity.
