Can the RFL really pull the plug? : Mon Oct 08, 2018 7:34 pm  

I know there are a number of different issues around the ground and how it affects our viability as a business or a club with ambition, but I know MC has also said that the RFL might stop giving us leeway and say leave Belle Vue or you're out.

Thinking of the Million Pound Game, the RFL ended up with the promoted club either playing out of a glorified amateur ground in London or two concrete strips of seats in Toronto. With the onset of so-called "guaranteed promotion", has that risk of ejection now ended? If we were booted out but won the Championship Grand Final the following year, when in Belle Vue, would we go straight back in?

BV is better than Trailfinders, so I guess we're safe for 1 more year.

BV is bigger than Trailfinders but not better.

Neither ground is fit for Super League.

It's bigger. It's better. Don't try to make a silly argument.

Trailfinders is along the lines of Thornhill, Lock Lane, Leigh Miner's...it's an amateur playing field.

As crap as BV is, it is still a proper stadium, but one we want to see rebuilt or replaced.

Bet KS has never been. Trailfinders isn’t even a ground let alone a stadium. It’s a well appointed social club and utterly unsuitable for SL - end of.

on a par with Sharlston rovers I'd say but far more sensible than trekking over the pond

Yes but London have a Landlord who will allow them to play at Trailfinders. Our Landlord Manni Hussain when he is not busy posting nonsense inspirational type quotes on Twitter is now 100 % certain, due to recent comments from Yorkcourts solicitors, that Yorkcourt will never hand over one single cent towards either a new Community stadium at Newmarket or towards polishing the turd that is BV. So put your feet in Hussains shoes, he has a plot of land ( BV ) with planning permission to develop it with retail, student accommodation, housing and a mosque all that will earn him a massive return on his investment ; or he can let Trinity play there for a few quid each year. Let me think about this for a second or two ..... Manni is a British Asian business man with no love for RL or Trinity, he is a property developer ...... whats he going to do ..... I know he is going to decide that there is more to life than running a profitable business, he wants to do something positive for the 3000 Trinity loving people of Wakefield so will allow us to play on at BV rent free !!!!! NOT . We will be out on our ear and I say Hooray.

That's not strictly true - he hasn't got planning permission as far as I know, please show a link where he has? He also has a huge issue with contaminated land at BV and a sitting tenant. Why the hyperbole.

You are correct, he hasn’t got planning permission, indeed there is no live planning consent on BV at all.

Manni has been told he will get his planning permission just be patient. Box, Rodders, Rogers etc etc have told him not to worry. Do you honestly think that our council will stand in his way. They are all in it together.
