After reading our stadium news on Sky Sports, although not saying what exactly it is, I take it that MC not disregarding the new offer it must be positive. Come on here expecting upbeat light at the end of the tunnel stadium talk and trust members don't seem happy. Are you not happy with the proposal or at not been invited to the meeting surely MC will have let you know what's happening or is the new proposal nothing to do with the trust?

We are aware of the proposal and I am sure there will be something official from the Club this week.

Not being invited to the meeting is not an issue as both Michael and Chris are Trust Members.

All I am able to say at this stage is that the Trust and the Club are 100% together on this.

Whispers circulating about a proposal to build a stadium on the area around the new relief road. Could be rubbish but for me that would be the perfect location. Anyway the latest from MC... http://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/news/12208/11043130/wakefield-set-to-name-home-venue-for-2018

I agree entirely, only 800 yards from the current Belle Vue, the old power station site would be ideal.
The land between Doncaster road junction of Wakefield eastern relief road and up to the river Calder i am sure could house a big enough stadium. Ideal position and Stadium would complement other plans for pub/restaurant and food outlets etc.

I can't say too much but I can't accept any old community stadium if it puts in doubt the long-term future of the club." Sounds to me like they have been offered an alternative new build but are looking at the implications of our rent bill? Or am I reading too much into that.

Thornes Park anyone?

I would be more than happy with a move into Thornes Park M62 J30.

Only a stones throw away from my home

Re: Stadium saga solution by Wednesday? : Tue Sep 19, 2017 4:28 pm  

It seems obvious that a proposal has been made that will provide a home but will not provide long term sustainability, which means that MC would be crazy to accept it. He says as much in the linked articles. I'm guessing, therefore, that the club's position is, yes, but on the condition that you allow us to make money from the plot so that we can grow as a club.

Re: Stadium saga solution by Wednesday? : Tue Sep 19, 2017 4:33 pm  

Out of the blue quote by MC means anything could be on the table? Really hope that finally some positive news emerges without 'strings attached'!
