No it doesn't meet minimum standards , hence why the RFL are punishing you financially to the tune of 50k as they are with us (and will rise accordingly). What it does is meet more of the criteria than BV does hence the pressure is on us more.

Wheldon Road definitely doesn't meet minimum standards, you're just in a seemingly much better position to eventually move hence the RFL are more lenient.

The RFL may not as such be the villains here, but would it hurt them, if they are genuinely concerned about the club, to show an interest and attend some of the meetings the trust and council hold

I also wondered whether a representative from WMDC would be available to explain their role/position in this sorry saga to the RFL on Monday?

They're so not!

Been supporting our team since 1960 and so upset at what appears to be the inevitable. Just hoping for some miracle.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see you moving to Odsal next season it would get the RFL out of the mess they created at Bradford

No thanks. Odsal is in a worse condition than BV.

Its really not. The terrace is in pretty good condition. Odsals naff with the away stand 10 miles from the pitch and it being -10 when everywhere in the country is enjoying 20 degrees. Very little atmosphere due to its size and no roof. But the state of the terracing, stand is in pretty good nick. Anyway don't want to get in childish arguments who's stadium is worse.

Feel for your chariman and team. Wakey are actually one of the few teams i enjoy watching in SL. From outsider looking in looks like the developer is deliberatly trying to avoid building the stadium. I hope you get it sorted as MC is an honest chairman who deserves it. If we had an owner his honesty, we wouldn't be in the state we are in now. Good luck!

Wakefield was always one of my favourite away days but going there this season to watch my team v Sheffield you realise how bad the ground is when there's not that many in it . I really can't see you been thrown out though plenty of football grounds available around your way

Can see them telling us to play at another ground next season until new ground built only way I can see playing at Belle Vue next season is if it's tided up and council can garentee new stadium is happening.

There's not too many football grounds close; it's pretty much limited to Leeds and Barnsley. Current RL grounds close by who are closer to meeting the standards are Featherstone, Castleford, and Dewsbury

I just love your optimism.

Personally, if the R.F.L. were to kick Trinity out of S.L. on a "technicality" I would just walk away.

Relegated on team performance, fair do's, seen it all before, but on facilities, really!

I remember the old terracing, it was practically a slope, did I care, of course not, it was only about the game.

So if it all goes "belly up" shame on the R.F.L. & shame on society.

Here is a honest question, if say RFL decides from next season to revoke your membership to SL. What happens to the players and staff do their contracts come null and void like it did with us at Kr. I like Wakefield only for sentimental reasons, my dad who died 2013 was born there and after being a miner went on to help build bell vue, he always supported both wakey and Kr.. I have a feeling due to SL wanting 13 teams to include us, but don't want to lose money does anyone think you lot could become victims And lose your SL status being replaced by us just a thought

My worst case scenario suspicion is that someone has offered the club a fee to move to their city, so the club would remain solvent and in super league but it would play out of a different city. This would then mean that any new club who wants to play professional rugby in Wakefield would likely have to apply to join championship 1

When it comes to RL nothing would surprise you as they seem to make it up as they go along. However, I agree with DA that if we were to be demoted because of the ground I think that would be me done. Unfortunately it appears a dog eat dog environment so if our demise was to benefit others, I don't think many clubs wouldn't think twice about it

If the RFL kick us out despite finishing fifth that's me done as well with rugby league. It's be farcical on another level. You don't see Burnley, Bournemouth and Everton facing such a threat depsite having grounds not fit for purpose.

In the context of the Etihad or the Emirates your right, but really the only thing wrong with the 3 clubs mentioned is their support is far greater than their ground capacity.

Keep hearing we fail to meet min sl standards..what are they..if its ground capacity thats crap as when have we had a sell out all ticket game..surely its just the club itself that suffers..why should this be a min standard..i know as a club its not fit for purpose generating money for itself..

Minimum capacity is 8.5k. Think minimum seated capacity is 2k.

Michael Carter will be on Radio Leeds just after 5pm today. He will be talking about the club's plans going forward.

What do you mean you've done! Your not throwing a good radio in the river are you.

If we do face extinction,then those politicians Who before the election said they will with us and would do anything for our survival, should be held to account.

MC very good on radio Leeds just now.

Nothing new though.
