We've been playing nicely and diplomatically for years now, has the time come to take off the gloves and hit them hard by exposing all the lies?
I suspect there'll be a few twitchy bottoms out there.

Box is hugley incompetent at the very least. The councillors I have written to appear to have no clue as to what is going on almost to the point of "stadium? what stadium?". What a complete shambles of a local council.

Refurbishing Bellevue to make it superleague acceptable cannot possibly cost as much as a new stadium and the main advantage is it can be done over a long period once safety concerns are sorted. Shiny new stadium out of town have not worked. E g Salford would have folded if not for the Doctors deep pockets.

Pretty much everyone who would know says it would cost far more.

One small example of issues with that- where's the match day parking?

FFS how many times must this be said, we don't even own Belle Vue, how the hell can we refurbish it. Don't kid yourself the bloke who owns it has his own self interest and the sooner he gets us out the better, he has plans for housing on there and nothing else.

Please let Belle Vue go, it's a distraction that is not helping the situation.

Firstly you have to buy it and then rebuild it. The cost would be no less than a new stadium and a long period is something the club does not have.

Please let it go.

But Yorkcourt never intended to build a stadium and never will. Even if a legal challenge got somewhere they would declare themselves bankrupt and start up with a new .name . It happens all the time. I am suggesting an alternative. How come Featherstone managed it . We have wasted too long chasing white elephants. It the club thinks that some legal challenge is going to be the answer it will be money down the drain. Let's face it despite all the abuse Box Walker and Mackie get on here they have played a winning game .

For a start FEV owned the ground and I believe sold some land they also owned
