Sorry if this has already been covered but as there will not be any real news until January or later I can not bring myself to read all the pages about Newmarket.



I thought when the ground was sold we were told we could play there until a new stadium was built no matter how long it takes. Do we know who bought it? I assumed it was more a transfer to one of Teds companies to help the balance sheet.



Can we stay where we are and play in the championship which is what I would prefer to a slow death sharing with Cas at their new ground? Can we wait a year or three until Newmarket is built and hope to get back to super league no matter how small that chance is or will the stadium be removed from the development plans with us out of Super League? Could we as a lower league club pay the rent on Newmarket on lower gates?



I can not see a long term future if we do not have our own ground or a very long lease to use Newmarket. I would prefer Super League but the main thing for me is to stay in business and play as Wakefield.

Says in the Wakey Express today that its been sold and already has planning permission in place. Do not know who owned it do not know who has bought it either.



Has anyone else noticed the paper has completely dropped TRINITY from its reporting

not really as we dropped the paper years ago

the paper hardly reports on any rl now compared to the pont and cas where most junior games are covered

It has been bought by a property company, cala homes. They have planning permission on the site and have paid 50% of the price up front as a deposit. The plan is they take over the site at the end of 2011. Whether this could be renegotiated depends on the bigwigs of both sides coming to an agreement. But I know they want their investment to bear fruit sooner rather than later.

No money in building new homes at the moment.

Are you 100% sure that Cala Home have bought Belle Vue and have paid the deposit because thats not what I've been told. Belle Vue has been sold but as I understand its not to Cala.

I seem to remember Cala homes being mentioned at some point, maybe we will find out more at the shareholder meeting.

It's deffo to build house though, I remember the planning apps being in the wakey express.

Me too sure it was Cala homes

I'm told that the original buyer has pulled out, but that another property developer is about to sign on the dotted line; if that's true, perhaps it was Cala, but isn't anymore?



Not that it makes much difference, other than confirming that WTW will be officially homeless.

Well this is what I heard last night it was mad friday so I phoned the lad back today to confirm.

We are seriously considering staying at Belle Vue and re developing it. Apparently the planning permission to built houses on it had a claus inforced by Sport England that it would only happen if a new home was found for Trinity in Wakefield. Although York Court were funding the community Stadium there were also grants secured by the community trust, so if Belle Vue was to be owned by the community trust this funding could be transfered. I wonder how much it would cost to flatten the north and west terrace build a seated stand on the north end of the ground a covered terrace on the west side, it will pass rfl critieria and keep us in the City. It might be just another rumour but could be a good option.
