Sold already announced this will be our last year; cant see how they can go back on it, either way we cant really stay there as its apparently not good enough for a SL ground.
Crap Players. No new ground. Old ground not good enough. Licence very much doubtful. NL rugby... with low crowds and high rent costs with little or no income due to low crowds, food & drink at stadium mostly going barnsley. Will we have to revert to part time club..
I understand im explaining the very worst here, but you've got to imagine that and anything better / different is a bonus.
Change is inevitable ...except from a vending machine!

How can you say that, if it was going to be in the favour of yorkcourt then they would have left it,
Are yorkcourt willing to take the risk on having to pay the potential costs involed in this if it goes against them, the cost implications are massive, in this climate, is it going to be worth it ?
Roughly 75% of all PI's go the way of the applicant and given the legal direction on the draft LDF (for 95 ha of B8 land on the M62 corridor) and the proposal to change the Newmarket site to a B8 employment zone, which I am fairly certain will continue under the detailed LDF consultation, and I don't think is held up due to the PI, that is why.
The worry for the NIMBY's is that the still end up with a B8 site, which is very, very likely, albeit possibly a little smaller in overall area and Wakefield and the community gets no benefit whatsoever!
Also, PI's are great at showing people's selfish NIMBY attitudes towards developments (of any kind) and the objectors very rarely make a good case and mostly make things worst for themselves by doing the usual, we don't want this here mate, build it over there instead, attitude!
We have had some strife over the years but I would rate this as the most sickening blow of all.
By looking at this from even the most optimistic perspective, this announcement is soul destroying. The simple truth is come the next round of SL licences we are even more in the dark now than we were 2 months ago. We can't present a credible case regarding stadia, as there is no certainty in anything related to Newmarket, and won't be for some time, and with the licenses being awarded early next year, from even the most ardent of supporters, our chances look dead in the water.
All the positivity surrounding the club has just ended. We are Wakefield together we are stronger. Looks quite hollow now doesn't it?

Pretty much how i see it.
Some will try to put a positive spin on relocating to Barnsley -- i dont think it will matter.The PI delay will scupper our chances of a license in 2012 and the club will fold. It will be the end of pro sport in the city of Wakefield.
Gutted beyond belief. The RFL now have the excuse they need to kick us out of superleague. Without superleague money we ain't got a chance of servicing the debt we have. Hell we can't manage with it. Game over.
RIP Wakefield Trinity 1873- 2011
