Refurbishing Bellevue to make it superleague acceptable cannot possibly cost as much as a new stadium and the main advantage is it can be done over a long period once safety concerns are sorted. Shiny new stadium out of town have not worked. E g Salford would have folded if not for the Doctors deep pockets.

Pretty much everyone who would know says it would cost far more.

One small example of issues with that- where's the match day parking?

FFS how many times must this be said, we don't even own Belle Vue, how the hell can we refurbish it. Don't kid yourself the bloke who owns it has his own self interest and the sooner he gets us out the better, he has plans for housing on there and nothing else.

Please let Belle Vue go, it's a distraction that is not helping the situation.



Firstly you have to buy it and then rebuild it. The cost would be no less than a new stadium and a long period is something the club does not have.



Please let it go.

But Yorkcourt never intended to build a stadium and never will. Even if a legal challenge got somewhere they would declare themselves bankrupt and start up with a new .name . It happens all the time. I am suggesting an alternative. How come Featherstone managed it . We have wasted too long chasing white elephants. It the club thinks that some legal challenge is going to be the answer it will be money down the drain. Let's face it despite all the abuse Box Walker and Mackie get on here they have played a winning game .

For a start FEV owned the ground and I believe sold some land they also owned

Not being flippant Daddycool, but where is the parking at Headingly?

They have parking at Salford but it is easier to get out of Wakefield prison . How can you use parking as an excuse for not redeveloping Belle Vue . People find somewhere to park now and would with a refurbished ground. As for the fact we don't own Belle Vue that need not be an issue if a long lease and fair rent can be negotiated. The owners gave previously talked about a retail development on the old superbowl site. This could be more viable with the ground in regular use.

So you are advocating a fortune been spent on a ground that is owned by a private developer who can then change the terms of the agreement whenever it's up for review? No offence but I am glad you are not negotiating on the club/stadium trusts behalf

I would say corrupt rather than incompetent - incompetence implies he doesn't know what he is doing, and he very well does. I hope the club are keeping the RFL informed in the matter as well, if nothing more to say "look at what we're dealing with".

I am suggesting something which is possible rather than a fairy story. Time us running out . Legal battles aren't won over night. They drag on for years whilst lawyers line their pockets. We need a plan that will keep us in superleague. Staying at Belle Vue can achieve that . There doesn't appear to be a plan B. Superleague are not going to sanction a stay at Dewsbury based on a hope winning a battle in the courts. Those of you who think you know best hopefully have an alternative to Newmarket because Newmarket was always a way of Yorkcourt building Newcold and nothing more.
