Thanks for the up-date TRB. Most fans are anxious because we care about our club.

I am sorry but the post actually said nothing and did not refute that the ground had been sold

Correct - what I said is that there is stuff happening and we are dealing with it. The ground is one of them, SB is another and NM is another. The decision regarding where the club plays, whilst tied into everything else, is for the club themselves.

Can you put this in capitals on a sticky or on your signature because you must be as fed up as the rest of us of having to repeat it ad infinitum!

If we move to Dewsbury for next season and have to continue playing there for the forseeable future after 2017 i can't see Wakefield Trinity surviving. Support will gradually dwindle away and if we finish up next year fighting relegation it could be the end sooner, rather than later. That would indeed be a very sad day for the once proud City of Wakefield and its only top class professional sports team.

From MC's tweets last night, it seems that there is still plenty of fight in this. It might not succeed, but it makes complete sense to have a Plan B, which I assume Dewsbury is. Look at it this way: we have little control over who the bank sells the ground to. We'd be in a bigger mess if the ground was sold from under us and we had nowhere lined up.

I'm happy that people are trying to do their best for the club in relation to the ground and the passing of time will give us the answer. I do not want the club to move out of the city, certainly not in the long term, but you've got to have a Plan B.

Hindsight will eventually show us who we can blame for whatever happens, but I don't believe it is anyone who is involved with the club currently. There is some historical blame for the turn of events, but that goes back years and to previous incumbents.

Absolutely. You can't just go on with Plan A because s**t happens! No Plan B = a mess that's usually very difficult to get out of (David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Michael Gove et al are learning that right now!)

Rather cryptic post TRB?

Wow - 3 days away and WW3 breaks out! Lots happening, lots to happen. All bases covered as far as we can - ST, Stadium Trust and club. No witch burning just yet please. As SC has already said, we need all of the Trust together and to agree next steps. There are things most of you do not know and we cannot discuss - just a fact of life that will never change - we are working our nuts off to make this work - and that isn't always in a loud and obvious manner. You would have more to worry about if we weren't here - I think!

Is there anything that supporters can do to help? Or are we in the hands of the powers that be?

Nothing at the moment. Those involved are aware of the strength of feelings. That will suffice for the moment!
