Your getting rattled I can tell.

Not without good reason methinks?

Really?

Because I'm pushing you to show some faith and solidarity with those trying to push the club forward - guilty I suppose

Anybody see the teletext article relating to the E U investigating the use of Public Money on Sports Stadiums . the example they were quoting is The Liberty Stadium in Swansea , which is council owned and used by Swansea City and a Rugby Union team . Just wonder if it has any effect on our ambitions ,    

It could, if we were not careful. In our situation the stadium is designated to be handed to a trust - which is permissible - but there has to be wider community use than just for a professional sports club.

It's not for you to question why or in what form, people follow Trinity. They will do it any way they see fit whether you like it or not. I follow the best I can from 7000 miles away.

What's that "being a bit harsh with you" all about? Are you the forum police?

What's this got to do with the new stadium?

Just asking...

Touche!

Lets stay on topic please.

1 a piece

Rumour has it that the council have kick out proposals for this now

Hope so.

Don't know about the police,More like that bloke that had his uncle executed.

Years of disappointments over stadium plans and a whole host of other things does tend to leave me a little cynical and negative...sorry guys. It doesn't mean I don't love Trinity and won't always support them but I will also speak my mind as other disappointed supporters have. What is a forum for if you can't challenge the status quo, ask questions and apply a bit of pressure? It seems there are a few on here who view anything negative as disloyal; I can't be in the happy, clappy camp I'm afraid, but if work is going on hard in the background, then good luck to those involved...a bit of an update now and then would be nice, even if it's just to say 'no further on guys, still working on it' and remind us where we are when it disappears off the radar fo months at a time; it's just good PR

Great post

It is, but I don't think you'll find a stadium thread that either myself or the Armadillo haven't replied on. We try to offer what we can when we can, but the press aren't interested unless there is something tangible to report. The good news is that there isn't anything bad to report, but it does all mean it's all rather dull just now.

We had 2 meetings in December and have nothing blew that we can report from them! Sorry, but that's how it is - and we do understand how frustrating that is!

I love bv but also understand the need for progress , I think. The location of the stadium aint great in my opinion. I just hope the rest of the wakey public dont agree with my view and turn up in the thousands. A new stadium will be the start of a new direction for our great club and one that will not come easy. Can anyone give me the word on how without an vast increase in gates , and corprate membership the club will take the rewards from the venture. Some seem to think we will attract beter players, better players cost more money . I will be sad to see the end of BV, its been my stomping ground for over 45 years. I only hope the new stadium will not be follow the trends of all new stadiums and have something a bit diffo from the norm.to offer.

Great post



That's all it takes to keep peoples chins up.

I'm so glad your chins up As stated there has never been a post relating to the stadium not answered in massive detail- what more do you need. There is a website with the whole story on it swag.comoj.com/home.html I don't know how many times it needs saying but the stadium element of the development is enshrined in law, it's part of the planning approval and cannot be moved away from. Yes it can fail IF the development fails - but there are no boats to miss, no walking aways and no broken promises as far as we know. Sorry but I completely lack TRB's patience and diplomacy and frankly your post is a touch condecending but lets move on in the knowledge that we are the closest we have ever been and certain other clubs would give a right arm to be in our situation.

You're right. For those who think a new stadium will be the end of our problems think again. The hard work starts the day we move in. It's not the end of the hard times, it's the start of the begining of the end of the hard times.

Finally you could make BV a good stadium and relatively cheaply, just look at Post Office Rd. However we'd need the land back and someone to underwrite the cost and sadly neither exist. I'd love to stay at BV but I can't ever see it.

No need to be I made it abundantly clear I have no patience on this issue. SWAG has been running for 10 years this year and the first 6 years drained me of every bit of patience and understanding I had - don't know how TRB and others do it. It's the same relentless dull questions over and over again, all of who's answers are on public record - there is nothing to tell because it's already out there if you can be bothered to look. People like TRB do it because they want to not because they have to so if you have to wait till he has something to tell you then so be it - or - find out yourself



That is what I meant by move on and stop expecting others to keep your chin up

.

Your rattled again I can tell.

I don't know what wrong with wanting to know what stage we are at regards the community stadium on a Wakefield fans forum we get asked all the time by people who signed the petitions etc "what's happened to the new stadium" so when it goes quiet for a while people want to know what's happening. We all want what's best for Wakefield Trinity and facilities for this City and thats what NM will provide so that's why we are all desperate for updates.
