Really pleased about this. Long term it's the best outcome, I know I was hankering on about getting Leeds United reserves back, but they are settled elsewhere and as they would not be based here, probably NOT in the consideration for grants - I may be jumping the gun, wishful thinking etc but who knows - grants may be available?
If WAFC get settled and progress maybe a lot of football fans from Wakefield, who currently follow Leeds will switch allegiance to the home club?
Not sure on this one.
YES when it comes to spreading the game, probably way better than anything the RFL can offer us, so maybe a bit of a cuckoo in the nest there, but thats literally decades off before becoming an issue.
As for the ground I'm doubtful. WAFC are renting, nothing more, They have no financial stake in BV, So as I see it the FA won't give grants that effectively belongs to another support, so NO to actual capitol spends on the stadiums structure. However there may be scope for other more peripheral stuff like medical equipment, gym equipment, IT, all stuff we could share, freeing up Trinity to concentrate on the ground,
Of course all this may change as time goes on and the clubs properly connect to hopefully go forward together. We shall see.
