The RFL are ready to criticise Belle Vue as not being fit for purpose. The question remains is, "Is the RFL fit for purpose?" Surely stringent ground condition criteria was ruled out as an obligation when the franchising system was ended. The club should fund any cosmetic improvements that the ground requires. That would be more economical than the income from the inevitable much smaller crowds at Dewsbury, surely.

But the club has been shafted, it would seem. That is where the unfairness lies.[/quote

Yeah the club have been shafted from a great height and the most frustrating thing from the outside is that we just seem to be lying down and taking it. I know that there had to be restraint during delicate discussions but they don't seem to be delicate any more! More non-existent !

The problem is what would staying at belle Vue cost? The rfl could have the club jumping through hoops, you have to spend money doing this and this and this etc etc and STILL say sorry not good enough you can't stay here and play in super league...

The problem also is what would leaving BV, and thus Wakefield, cost the club? Potentially an awful lot more.

It has always been not fit for purpose, its just we got dispensation due to the promise of a new ground or redevelopment in the horizon. We haven't delivered, albeit not our fault. We can't expect the RFL to let it ride forever just because it suits us. It's obvious to all now that Newmarket will never happen, seems that was the 'plan' all along. Sorry but we can't blame the RFL for our ill's here.

Perhaps we could refer to it as an iconic ground and get the RFL to buy it!

I agree can't blame the RFL but hopefully it will all come out and we can start blaming the people who deserve to get it big style

Without a doubt there are certain other people who need chastising publicly for this. Sadly the horse has already probably bolted in terms of having any beneficial effect whatsoever.

I would love a shiny new stadium or a revamped BV but with lack of funding from these buisness men who promised lots but delivered nothing and made their money from shafting people all their careers, moving would be a massive saving for Trin if we don't get any financial help, Rodney Walker well he's done a Stirling job so far

Re: Moving From Belle Vue.. : Tue Jul 05, 2016 8:27 pm  

Thought having Sir Rodney Walker on board would have been massive positive for us but what he done, you never hear anything from him.

Surely this is what is needing to be clarified, if we've reached the point where theres nothing to lose then lets lay everything on the line and name and shame everybody that's involved in the whole stinking mess.
