I don't believe in conspiracy theories but is very fortuitous that the announcement of the signing of Kevin Locke came at the same time as the news that this is likely to be our last season at Bellevue. The website proudly announces the new signing but no sign of the news that we are giving 6 months notice of leaving this historic ground. Unless this is just Brinkman ship ship on behalf of the club in order to get the BOI to reduce our rent and we definitely intend to sign a new lease I am afraid that MC will not go down in history as the man who signed Kevin Locke but the man who signed the death sentence of a once great club because whatever ground he might have lined up for next season very few of this year's 2000 season ticket holders willbe buying one to travel to another town every other week whatever league we are in

This is a belter this one! I also love how the OP is now claiming this is 'likely' to be WT last season at Belle Vue... he does not believe in conspiracy theories he says... while single-handedly making his own one up! Classic!

I have no idea how many student tickets we could have sold. I also have no idea how many stayed away because of the 3 o'clock kick offs, how many stayed away because of the no smoking or e cig ban , or how many would be put off because of the confusion over the plastic drink episode. Not everything in the garden was rosey and situations could and should have been handled better. We all want a successful club to follow and I think we are on the long journey to obtain that. It starts with S L survival and the venue side of things will probably take care of its self once the options are known.

I would prefer Wakefield Trinity to play somewhere within the Wakefield District (Barnsley?) if it were to leave Belle Vue in 6 months time rather than playing within Leeds. It will be a very sad day for me if Trinity were to leave Belle Vue though....it carries a lot of history.

Nobody is making you go Ball-in-hand.
I'll be going wherever Wakefield play their home games.
Because I support Wakefield Trinity.
Who do you support?

Rule out Ossett Town and Albion, they're barely fit to host Unibond First division games.

You phone up say you are leaving and they give you a deal to stay on board.

Got 6 months to sort it and the ball is in the BOI court.
Let's enjoy what's left of the season, starting with Wednesday!

Well said!

Think the student ST number was a very low so as to make little difference to income in stopping doing them something around 65 I believe, although it may even have been less than that

I agree I'd go to Leeds to support Trinity but it'd be good if the only professional sports club in Wakefield still played its home games within the Wakefield District rather than moving to the City of Leeds which seems to have all the resources.

Is it preferable to a ground share with Castleford?
