No idea of the exact contractual timings obviously but at the point of handing our notice in it was said that it was the last day for doing so to give the 6 months notice required. That was the 24 th June, so takes us up to 24th December. Maybe a game after xmas wouldn't be an option anyway?

I haven't, but I feel exactly the same way; I'd rather have done it with a new stadium ready to go though.

Would much rather play in our dump in Wakefield rather than dewsburys dump in dewsbury.

If you look at all the historical events both good and bad involving Wakefield Trinity you will see Belle Vue. It's been our home for over 100 years and yes it is shabby but we have somewhat let it get worse by not spending any money on it in the last two years.
I cannot contemplate we will have the same affinity with Dewsbury but we appear to be cascading headlong into a deal. I hope they consider this carefully but experience says they won't and money will be the major factor.

Cascading?

A single news occurance stating the clubs were taking, then a confirmation from Mr Carter, adding that there are other options too!

Get a grip.

Only the last two years?

You can't deny Glover made improvements to the ground.

... and the 40 years before that?
AG splashed some cash and rolled it in glitter a bit, true... remind us again how that ended?

with what ignoring health and safety regs and giving the ground a lick of paint

He did - because the RFL at that time made it clear that our continued existence in SL depended on those improvements.

Say what you like about MC, but you can hardly hold up Glover as a paragon of virtue when it comes to running a RL club - can you?

I am not making a judgement on who did the work but the fact that some was done. The last before that was probably the hospitality suites even though these were retained under less than desirable circumstances.

what exactly, sprinkling glitter like what we said

So the work the current regime haa done to help us pass an inspection and allow us to continue this season doesnt count?

I think those supporters that are now under cover would question the sprinkle comparison. Were you not the person involved in patching up the barriers for Mr Carter so I suppose you are part of the new glitter albeit it now appears that all of it was a waste of time because to a demolition contractor it is only metal.
I suppose Carter could sell off the stands which are fairly new or they could be our contribution to the new Dewsbury.

When you aren't paying any bills, I would imagine its easier to find cash for improvements.

why don't we start before the barriers put the capacity up to 8k, the club was threatened with zero capacity as there was no safety measures in place and it was work done behind the scenes at the beginning of the season that even allowed the 5,333 to become a reality, given that seems pretty pointless paying 50K to cover it over, as for the waste of time the club wouldn't of been here without shelling out just as much to reach requirements needed

which do you think was the waste of time and money

A couple of years ago we nearly went to the wall and everyone was lamenting this fact.
But true to Wakey, they pulled through.
Thus giving the moaners and pickers an excuse to pull the next regime down.
MC asked for help in getting the ground 'fit for purpose'. Snowie answered that call and even though you may think it's all a waste Scarlett.
We are still here and still in with a fighting chance of stopping up.
You know what they say? 'You don't miss something until it's not there'.
I think the 4 bus loads and countless other travelling fans going to Salford have indicated that they still believe.
If you have nothing of any interest to say Scarlett, don't say anything.

I have no doubt you did what you did for the right reasons let's hope the work you did makes it harder to remove the barriers when the contractors move in.
I said I was not commenting on the person himself but pointing out that work had been undertaken at the club when others had suggested it hadn't.
Ted was in the charge when the flats were built, Glover with the stands and Carter with the barriers. At the end of the day it will be the latter who will decide if any of it survives or is just torn down.
I suppose the developers may look to name the streets after former players just to remind residents what was there long after we are gone to pastures new.

don't think your having a pop at me or the other that help but you are having a dig at the club,
as for who will decide we leave the stadium won't be just MC or CB, it will be the years of neglect that have made that for you and the fact the stadium was sold and the fans that have chosen to stop coming to support for one thing or another
so by all means keep ranting if it makes you feel better

With hindsight, mortgaging the ground must go down as the worst move of the last 20 years or so.

Well scarlet you making your self look a right plonker its come to light that yes glover did ask for the roofs to be fitted, its a shame he didn't pay for them and left for MC to foot the bill.
Now please crawl under the nearest hide away

If that's the case (and I don't doubt for one minute it isn't) then I think you are best leaving this alone Scarlett.

Is sp ag or je? Seems to be defending them a bit too strongly

well said snowie!
