Many supporters would be prepared to go to Owl Lane on a temporary basis, or any other ground, within reason, for that matter; BUT, if it's a move there without a certain return within the city, then it would be a no go because it would be the demise of the club.
I support WT because the club is in Wakefield. Anywhere else won't do.

Best location Balne Lane Central Wakefield.

Thornes Park would still be good and with the athletics track already there, it could become a focal point for sporting excellence in the city ?

Balne Lane is probably the worst of all locations, with horrendus access issues (apart from proximity to town centre).
It will make getting out of the Salford ground look like a fun day out

It would be handy for me though

Unfortunately it looks like Balne Lane has gone quiet so was probably (as said by many on here) a slowing down muddy the water tactic by our inept council. Location wise though I thought it was as brilliant, walking distance for many and plenty of parking in City centre + bus and train station near by increasing footfall in our wonderful city on a Sunday afternoon Fri night which would fit into City Centre development strategy, increasing usage of City centre which many councils are implementing. Unfortunately our council are that backward it won’t happen, can still dream though.

I like a beer or five Jinjer, thus I travel on two buses to and from the game. Obviously that you are not prepared to do. As for out of the city , Dewsbury’s ground is about 100 metres outside the boundary.
I actually always thought Normanton area a good location for the ground.
I would travel there, rather than not go to games.
You certainly are not going to please everyone wherever, if ever, we relocate.

An hour and ten minutes minimum each way on public transport according to Google, rising to one hour 30 mins. If you don't mind those type of journeys that's up to you TRUE supporters. I for one can't imagine doing that.

Cannot understand the selfish attitude of those who would be finished with Trinity if they had to travel a bit.For loads of us on the west side of Wakefield we already do the travelling. Dewsbury for me loads nearer than Belle Vue.
I assume these totally selfish people would also not travel to Newmarket.
Not true supporters.

It's nothing to do with selfishness. The people of Wakefield support the team that represents their city. If it is no longer in that city, it is no longer their team. Even worse, it would be playing as the secondary tenant in a stadium built for a team from a different town, actually in that town. A point comes when it is just a name and a limited company, not a team that represents the city of Wakefield.

Can you imagine explaining that to casual observers?
Where do you play?
Dewsbury.
I thought there was already a team in Dewsbury?
There is.
But you're different?
Yes.
Why?
Because we're from Wakefield.
But you're no longer from Wakefield?
No. We're in Dewsbury.
Why?
The people who run Wakefield didn't want us.
And you're still a Wakefield team?
Not anymore.
