A game to celebrate the history of Belle Vue doesn't necessarliy have to involve WTW. I remember Warrington doing this :- http://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/new ... 105_years/

One we have played our last game there we should turn out the lights and walk away. It doesn't make sense to continue paying rates ,utilities, insurance, up keep and rent in order to hang on to the place for 2 months for the sake of a friendly.

I have a sneaking feeling our last game could be a home fixture in the £1m game that would be the ideal time to say bye bye.

I have seen the good times of the 60's at Belle Vue but personally I can't wait to quit the dump.

Think you will find we will be paying rates until the lease expired. You right about one thing, yes she is a dump. But it's been a dump for years but it's still been Trinity's home.

..well said that man...I used to have the best seat in the ground when I used to operate the old scoreboard on the North terrace back in the '80's, it was old and rotten, and was eventually pulled down, but it was my home for a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon

No idea of the exact contractual timings obviously but at the point of handing our notice in it was said that it was the last day for doing so to give the 6 months notice required. That was the 24 th June, so takes us up to 24th December. Maybe a game after xmas wouldn't be an option anyway?

I haven't, but I feel exactly the same way; I'd rather have done it with a new stadium ready to go though.

Would much rather play in our dump in Wakefield rather than dewsburys dump in dewsbury.

If you look at all the historical events both good and bad involving Wakefield Trinity you will see Belle Vue. It's been our home for over 100 years and yes it is shabby but we have somewhat let it get worse by not spending any money on it in the last two years.
I cannot contemplate we will have the same affinity with Dewsbury but we appear to be cascading headlong into a deal. I hope they consider this carefully but experience says they won't and money will be the major factor.
