10 out of 10 TRB - for keeping your cool! Don't know how you IA and all the others stay so dedicated but it doesn't go unnoticed.
Might take a bit of pressure off you though if, perhaps, there could be some sort of announcement as to the state of play.
I think what bugs most people is why it's so cloak and dagger.

Fully understand that - and the subject was raised at this weeks Trust meeting, but with the position regarding the clubs location for next season still outstanding it is just not possible to release any news yet as there isn't enough clarity to do so. Frustrating for all of us, but that is the truth.

| So Saturday could be our last game at Belle Vue another waste of a marketing opportunity but more importantly if it is the old ground deserves more she has been our home for over 100 years. It may not mean anything to some but to many of us it could be important. We are only the supporters so why should we know.

| I note that as per usual MC having read his recent Twitter entries does not get it regarding BV. He was asked if it was our last game but would not say only that what would make us happy is winning the next two games. Yes it would but so would knowing if Saturday could be our last game at BV.
What is the big problem, why would telling us who are after all the ones who pay our money have such an effect on negotiations. What is so secret the season ends one way or another in three weeks and then I am sure the club will be wanting us to buy our season tickets and to do so we will need to know where we are playing. It is now getting ridiculous and I fail to understand the continuing silence.
The club must know if the BOI expect us out because we have terminated our agreement. I feel we are just an inconvenience and if they could do without us it would make their lives so much easier.
I understand the work some supporters have put in but they are our representatives so represent us by telling us what is going on. We have the developers side so what harm could result from disclosing what is going on. I cannot believe how badly the club is being run definitely not for us the supporters but maybe to boost a few egos at the top.

| If we finish fourth, the 'million' pound game will be at Belle Vue?

| How can anyone tell you what we don't know. There is a lot of negotiating going on, right now, and the outcome is not known.
IF we win the next 2 and Salford lose theirs by enough, then the Halifax game could be the last home game, but only IF negotiations to stay come to nothing. We could end up playing the million pound game at BV, or not, and we could end up leaving, or not - this is not being obtuse in any way, it's just how it is.
As for marketing opportunities, I would rather the club concentrate on survival than on marketing opportunities, and for that I am really disappointed in those players who have been involved in the weekends incident.
We do represent the fans to the best of our abilities in all this. If we start divulging details of ongoing negotiations then we soon won't be and the opportunity to do so will be lost. I hope most can appreciate this.

Come on TRB, as Mark Wilson has said on Twitter, you can't retrospectively say "by the way that was our last game at Belle Vue, hope you enjoyed it"
Also saying that if we win and don't go into the Million pound game, you'd have thought fans would be happy. The two things are totally seperate and to dismiss the feelings of the supporters, well If that's not out of touch then I give up.
I think the answers demonstrate a lack of understanding of where the fans are coming from. They also illustrate a level of intransigence from the club which is present across the board and is quite damaging to the future of the club.
We are certainly not together!

I really can't understand why people can't see this. It's like asking "how many games have we got left to play". At this moment in time nobody knows!
If somebody used Twitter to ask MC for next weeks Euro Lottery numbers there'd be uproar if he couldn't provide them.

Is it beyond the ability of the club to comprehend that one of possibly two games could easily be the last one in over a hundred years of fame, history, heroes and legendary moments.
Market the first one as probably the last, if another one is required and comes in the form of the Million pound game then double up on the marketing and make the day unmissable. BONUS!
Don't give me that the club have other things to concentrate on, this being possible the last game(s) is massive but the total absence of any empathy with the fans means that we could bow out with nothing more than a whimper

| It would be unforgivable if the fans were not allowed to say a proper goodbye to Belle Vue at a competitive fixture. I think we'll still be at BV next year but the time really is coming now for some news.

| If the club genuinely don't know where we'll be playing next season, is there any harm in a short statement on the website/Facebook/Twitter that negotiations are ongoing and everyone will be updated when a decision is concrete? That way fans can decide for themselves regarding this weekends game.

Perhaps we should watch every game as though it's our last.
After all it feels like we're on borrowed time.

Exactly. Some might go who didn't plan to, and others may stay longer than usual.

They've been telling us they will keep us updated and negotiations are ongoing on here for some time.I'm as frustrated as the next fan,but I'm prepared to let the trust get on with the hard work in front and not put detractions in front of them.We will get to know when they are 100% one way or another.

I just think there needs to be something from the club, not all fans are on here and leaving Belle Vue will be a big thing to a lot of people.

Maybe when the club know 100% for deffo that we are leaving they'll let us know. Until then what's the point?

Yes,I'm one of them.I'm not a legal expert,far from it,but I'm sure during tense negotiations there's things discussed that are kept in shop.I've also got a vested intrest in the outcome.Jordans career could be at stake if the club goes booby up.

| I think the safest thing to do is assume that this Saturday will be our last game at Belle Vue.
If we win and beat Sheffield we have a chance of being 3rd and therefore not in the £M game.
If we lose either game we may potentially have the £M game at home but even that would not be guaranteed as it would depend how other teams did.
If we end up in the £M game and lose then we will be in the Championship next year and the rent at Belle Vue will be unsustainable (even if BOI come back to us!)
If we end up in the £m game and win then maybe, just maybe there is a chance we will be playing at BV next season (but even then I wouldn't think it's guaranteed as we don't know what is happening with BOI)
Too many imponderables to say anything for certain but we DO know that Saturday has the POTENTIAL to be our last ever game at Belle Vue so perhaps that is the way to treat it. If we get another one (or even another season) after that then that's a bonus.
The most important thing is to get to Belle Vue on Saturday and be loud and be proud of what this club has achieved there over the years (and not focus too much on what we haven't achieved this year)
Forget the unprofessional idiots that might not be playing and just give your full support to the ones that are.
That is my plan and I suggest anyone that holds Belle Vue in their hearts for whatever reason does the same.

The club should be making something about it being the last game, if that's what it or the next one turns out to be.
It's no good telling us in 2 months time that we've relocated to Dewsbury and OH by the way that game against Halifax was the last one at Belle Vue.

| Maybe the club doesn't know were they will be playing because they don't know which league they will be in ? A deal might have been done for staying at BV if in SL. Dewsbury if in Championship.

I can categorically tell you that the league status of the club has no bearing on where the club will be playing next season, that is not one of the reasons an announcement has not yet been made. Also, I have to say that there is some real nonsense being posted on here about why the club has not yet made an announcement, can you lot not work it out? If they were in a position to, they would have made it, but clearly they are not and unfortunately no amount of speculation will change it!
