Suits me. Take the North stand with us, would improve their ground and increase capacity.

I think its a great option and beneficial to both clubs . Not sure what the corporate side of things look like but could the boxes from our ground go with us. Spot on.

If we have to move its our best option just about in Wakefield and probably easier for us North Wakefield lads to get to. I can still see us playing at Belle Vue next season though.

Will they be putting up a sign that says "here lies the remains of Wakefield trinity"

3,300 cap. From memory both ends are open and not suitable for fans in numbers. Could easily be brought up to standard. Im sure the Dewsbury club have plans to develop the area and from the Ossett side some housing developments are on going. I think its a first rate location with loads of potential .

I think we are more likely to put a sign up saying the start of a new era.

Except it's not in Wakefield (just)

No top class sporting representation in Wakefield next year!

IF we move out of the City, it's very difficult to see us ever getting back.
Yes, we will have a team to watch, wearing red, white & blue but how do we ever get back to being Wakefield Trinity, playing in Wakefield ?

Short term is ok but, long term will see Trinity wither and die.
There are of course loads of issues surrounding a ground share as far as how revenue is split & cost of running the 2 clubs involved and we would need a strong presence in the city centre in order to keep reminding people that Wakefield still has a club.

Oldham move to Boundary Park
Swinton to Gigg Lane

Even Fulham, Huyton and York are all cautionary tales for Wakefield.

That it has come to this is a tragedy and many people are to blame but the intransigence of the Council when compared to many other Councils across the country is shameful.

No top class sporting representation in the City of Wakefield from next year!

Ive gotta admit you guys are taking it a lot better than i would if we had to leave cas and move in at fev.
Good luck and i genuinely hope it works out but from the outside it looks like a bad move to me

Genuine question, where is the money coming from for it to be 'easily brought up to standard?' I doubt either club has pots of spare cash lying around! It would have to be a slow, gradual joint effort, which would surley only be in our thinking if the plan to stay there was long term. But if that was the plan then there wouldn't be much of a club left in a few years anyway imho.

From a travelling supporters point of view Dewsbury is the best option. While its not in Wakefield its not far off.

It's not within the City of Wakefield

That's the definitive statement, it doesn't matter if it's 100 metres outside, its outside!

Normally, I'm all for being positive but I'm not going to be about this because I'm not prepared to dress this up as anything other than what it is.

A scandal and a tragedy

Shameful that we've come to this!

I wonder how Dewsbury fans will take the news and if the dreaded "M" word will be discussed? Location wise it does seem the best alternative option and it would be nice if they could increase the capacity. I certainly wouldn't have a problem visiting it next year. Can't remember the last time I went, does any one know what the parking availability is there.

I totally agree. I just think its the best alternative.
It's all very sad.

Few pots of beer round Ossett then a steady walk up t'ground

I think the 2 mile walk there would put some off that. They'd probably just stay in the pub!

WF12 post code and the best option by a mile. I agree about the way things have gone but I would much rather be at Dews than Batley, Feath, Cas or Barnsley. With regards to the ground it could be that Kirklees council will welcome the move and offer assistance. Its a tidy set up at Dewsbury and in a good area
Its a crying shame that its come to the stage that because of total poor management over the years we are in the situation we are but we are and I would rather see it as a new start.
It could just prove to be the making of our club rather than the final nail in the coffin. The truth is we don't know .

Short term I wouldn't mind. I just feel that would be the beginning of the end, unless I heard some positive news regarding a long term home in the city, which is not on the horizon is it?

If this council wanted top class sporting representation in the City they could have had it. Its not only the Newmarket farce but the
several other chances that proceeded Newmarket which have all been blown.

To me the location is perfect, just a couple of 100yds outside the boundary and therefore totally beyond the influence of Box .

The WF postcode is a complete red herring, the WF codes stretch out past Knottingley and beyond Birstall but they're not Wakefield.

For me this isn't about the best option which, if we're accepting the death of top flight Rugby League within Wakefield, might well be Dewsbury. It's about the above mentioned move to outside Wakefield which is a total scandal!

Those involved and culpable should be ashamed not only of this but of the barren sporting landscape that the City of Wakefield has become!

There is quite a sizeable car park at the ground plus plenty of on street parking nearby. They coped quite well when the Bulls came to town.

Forgot about that, they will have had some decent crowds this season with Bradford and Leigh so it can't be that bad.

Isn't it just a last resort plan B?

The suggestion about giving notice to leave Belle Vue was about negotiating a rent we could afford if the BOI prefer that to us leaving. He'd be stupid to presume that would be the outcome and not prepare a plan B.
