I know it's academic, but we can say as a guarantee that things would not get worse at a better version of Belle Vue. It's almost an impossibility. The Salford experience suggests we cannot guarantee it at Newmarket.

Should Newmarket happen, and those not willing to go in cars, how about the club, try to work with Arriva or local travel companies, maybe as like a partnership.

Yes it is - as is an altruistic gesture by 88M at BV, where he gives up land that would otherwise generate revenue, to ensure that the club has everything it needs. This whole thing is a stitch-up job, and anyone who doesn't see that is either unrealistically positive, or hopelessly naïve. WT will get the bare minimum - I guarantee it.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. Which begs me to ask the question (again), why have we aborted legal action....the only person that truly knows is MC. But understand if he can't comment

I would have gone to NM (reluctantly) but BV suits me all day long and I'll be happy with a good enough job done to keep us in SL.

That does not mean I condone all the cheating that's gone on with this business and those responsible should be brought to task - but I think nothing will be done.

As for BV I'm firmly in the 'I'll believe it when I see it camp'.

Wasn’t it mooted that in return for mani allowing the redevelopment of bv he was to receive a piece of council land elsewhere for

Development..ie thornes park ?.

Just a thought, but maybe a deal is that the land Manni gives up to redevelop Belle Vue is compensated by giving him land at Newmarket off York Court? That way the time pressure is taken off York Court a little bit and we can all move forward. Complete speculation on my part but I could see how it would help all concerned with the 2020 redevelopment target.

There has to be a deal somewhere that could suit all parties, the problem is I don’t think anyone trusts anyone else! I.e if we give them this will they do x ....

too many self interested people who won’t come together to make this work

I'll give 88m one thing the stadium is still the lead story on their website so kudos for at least looking interested

All the politics and agreeing with, or disagreeing with, Belle Vue being the right venue or not, the fact is that 2020 will be upon us quicker than you can say Jack Robinson, so something positive needs to start VERY, VERY SOON. With the possible return to franchising being imminent the RFL will need to see some positive action!!!!

Mc talking to James Deighton couple of hours ago ..online now may answer a few people’s questions on where we are at..

Yeah MC says Manni is really pushing this along and wants the whole thing signed sealed and delivered by the end of the month, but MC hasn't seen all the details of it yet, which he says are getting sent to him in the next couple of weeks. He then says he will look at whats' on the table and make a decision. As long as it's a deal that makes it sustainable for Trinity for the next 100 years, plus also a good deal for the community as a whole, it's should be all systems ahead, As he says he has to wear two hats when he looks at this, one the owner of Trinity and the other as a ratepayer in Wakefield.



You can watch that interview plus one with CC on James Deighton's twitter.
