I've edited the shareholders list posts.
Correct it's in the public domain but it's still not right in my opinion to copy it on here. No harm done but better this way.

As for the banner. Personally it needs to be at Belle Vue. Anything at Cas can be twisted to look like it's just trouble causers or rugby rivalry rather than a real issue.
And I'd save your money. It could be an A3 cardboard placard as long as it's down the front and visible. The SKY cameras will soon pick it up and will be big screen size and on every home Sky TV.

The community trust should look at producing a professional leaflet and poster that they can hand out at games and get local businesses to display/hand out. This leaflet should detail why we need a community stadium, and what has happened to prevent us getting it. It's all started to go public now so now is the time for the facts to be spread far and wide it's obviously passed the time for "it's a sensitive time" and "we'll let you know soon"

I agree. Now is the time for real facts.

Thanks PT, its a very good original post from Vasty and I think its point 4 when he quite rightly mentions not alienating the Cas fans. But then you get the less thoughtful posters doing exactly that.
If I could just digress from another thread a poster asks why Cas and Wakey can't just share a stadium.
The Mod urges members not to bite but for me this just illustrates that fans of clubs further afield just don't appreciate the situation. (unless the poster has previous history) and if so apologies.

Wakefield Council was contacted for a comment but did not respond.

What a shock.

loving this its getting tasty

Can't wait for Cllr Box's statement - bet the club have already prepared for his 'response'. Getting quite tasty now, whats the chances of SKY mentioning it over Easter when we're playing?

A good read. Like it .

Could be worth firing a few tweets at the Sky Sports RL twitter page.

IMO it depends on the content, if it's worded along the lines of "WMDC/Yorkcourt where's our ground" then why should home supporters be offended, mention Box and the Cas fans might get a bit rattled. I'm pretty sure if it was on camera every time we're on SKY then questions would be asked and possibly questions asked of MC on camera.

Great to see the fans on here and social media getting stuck in but what about those who don't use the internet. Probably worth writing about in the programmes for Friday (if we've still got time to do that) and for Easter Monday tempting others to write/email their concerns.

If there's to be any demonstration, it has to be at BV; that's the whole point - that the sporting history of Wakefield is being criminally neglected by WMDC.

How about a march from the Town Hall to BV - timing the arrival to meet the Sky Cameras outside the ground; then banners and such through the game, so they have no choice but to broadcast it? And it would help if during any pre or post-match interviews with club officials or players, they mention the situation and highlight the responsibility of WMDC to support the club in its quest to keep pro sport in the City?

Are there any high profile figures who'd be prepared to make a comment in support? The media love it when they have a known face to tag the story to. Is anyone still in touch with King Wally? Does Neil Fox have a view? I'm sure there are others.

I totally agree.

The march part could work, the only doubt is the number of people willing to do it, we'd look complete tools if only 50 turned up. I thought of a protest inside the ground, how about at kick off, no applause, and everyone turns away from the field of play, maybe warn the people at SKY, see if they make mention of it?

Maybe the Indie journalist's excellent piece has provided a banner for us:

"Decline and fall of a sporting giant: Wakefield Trinity faces a fight for its very existence"

I'm still flabbergasted that whilst this has been picked up by the Daily Star and then the Independent, our own local media has shown no interest at all; the Wakefield Express, the Yorkshire Evening Post and Look North have all ignored it - not to mention the total lack of support from any of RL's media voices. Anyone else remember the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the commentary box when Bradford were in the mire? Eddie, if I recall correctly, made direct appeals to the RL Family to chuck money in their plastic buckets!

Nobody likes us - but on this occasion, we do care.

The YEP have

I've followed leads on her by sending in emails but when I mentioned this to my nephew he was unaware as he doesn't always read this forum (he's 30) and reads others. I've made him aware and he's posted on faceboot etc. Just wondered if all sites used by our spectators has been covered. Aplogies if already done

GOOD WORK EVERYONE. Keep the faith.

Once again: "Wakefield Council was contacted for a comment but did not respond." I sincerely hope there is a lot of squirming going on at WMDC, with Mr Box finally realising that he can't hoodwink people in perpetuity, without some eventual kickback. We should have done this ages ago.

Regarding the local media, have the Trust drafted a statement and informed Calender, Look north,etc of our plight? LN were asking on Twitter for someone to give them details to look into this, not that I think for a minute that this hasn't been brought to there attention lately.
And still the lack of interest from our local rag the Wakefield express is noticeable. Shocking.

In regards to the WE, i personally haven't bought one for years but i think we should make an effort between us to get others to stop buying it until they cover this story.

So my Councillors are from Leeds however my MP is Andrea Jenkins is there any mileage in contacting her as a Leeds resident about this project?
