We may not own it but we generate income from it and you can believe what you like but money will need to be spent at Dewsbury to bring it up to the standard for SL. We cannot play at a ground with only a capacity of 3500 (according to the Dewsbury site) and any income will need to be shared due to the increased running costs of having two clubs operating from one ground.
I presume the academy will also need to play out of Dewsbury and should a reserves become mandatory them as well.

It was 3500 before they built the terrace behind the sticks, easily got to be at least 5k.

Good timing by the RL about Belle Vue not being up to standard.RL hedging their bets in case Whinos lose million pound game as they will then relegate Trinity due to state of ground and reinstate Whinos to Super League.

Isn't it just and why now, it's the same it's been the last few seasons. It's all just so disheartening. We're having a season that at the start of this year we could have only dreamed of. We've still got a great chance of being in a CC final, yet here we are wondering and worrying where we'll be playing next year, when everyone though we were sorted for the next few years.
If we move from Belle Vue, that's that, no coming back, end of. Then a proposed move to Dewsbury lol, I can only see one thing come of that and it isn't positive. Less spectators, no corporate coin, or food and drink etc. Anyway who's gonna pay for the upgrades to Dewsbury especially if it's temporary and if there's money for that why can't we do the necessary to BV, ateotd we don't own either. What a cluster****.

What choice does MC have? Belle Vue is unfit for purpose we can't wait forever for the community trust/council/York Court. The Newmarket situation is nothing short of a disgrace the state of Belle Vue is a disgrace to be honest Dewsbury is becoming more appealing

To just walk away from B.V is just ridiculous, Trinity are the sitting tenants.

Maybe it's M.C. playing poker again, let's hope he's got a good hand.

As long as it meets all safety requirements by what yardstick is it 'not fit for purpose' for the RFL? What doesn't it do that is required? And what's changed between the year and next? It's bollllockx. So it's a dump, and?

End of the day what's happened at Newmarket?Belle Vue redevelopment what's happening ?
Like MC says on the Wakey Express site "people keep promising him what will happen but nothing ever does"
Hope he is saying it to get things moving along and get a stadium fit for purpose in Wakefield like we were promised.

Michael has put this news out. As he has indicated, he does not wish to do this, but feels he must as BV is becoming completely un-manageable and the RFL are right up on the clubs case now for the many areas which the ground falls down on.
This a real threat, and will be carried out unless something happens - and fast, and even then it may be too little too late.
The club are part and parcel of the Stadium Trust - any steps we take will be in agreement with them, but let this one play out for a short while and we will then take up the steps that we have explored over the past couple of years.

But really where is the threat to the other parties? The bank want rid of the land, Yorkcourt will be rubbing their hands together about the prospect and WMDC will be happy just to see us go away.

Anyone care to expand on this? It seems to have come more to the fore since the Leeds game.

It would be interesting to see what exactly needs improving. Could the fans not help again? I know some of you have previously and should be applauded for your efforts.
From the outside looking in it does appear as though a conscious decision has been made not to spend any money, which seems odd given the clubs predicament with NM. Are the club letting it get run down to soften the blow of leaving?
Could the extra money from reaching a semi final be utilised in some capacity?
