You do know this “progress” is because they were informed by the RFL that Belle Vue was having its capacity reduced for safety reasons, and that capacity would have taken it below SL standards therefore without the “progress” they’d have been out irrespective of what happened on the pitch - all too much for the owner who is now stepping down |

It might be worth remembering that in the early 2000s we were in a similar plight. Without council involvement together with SM we would have been where they currently are. One new ground continued investment from SM and latterly the other SM and hey presto. We have an awful lot to thank these two individuals for

It would still be progress (no quotation marks) if a stand-shaped meteorite had landed on the side of the Belle Vue pitch*. It doesn't matter why or what drove it; the fact is that it is being built and finally looking worthy of Super League.
*I assume this was how Odsal was first constructed. |

Errr, not to besmirch the wonderful and benevolent sm but didn't he come on board as a majority shareholder after the stadium had been built and funded by tesco?
Unless there's another version of this that I don't know.

Also, Wakefield lied through their teeth when they were promoted in 1999 about new stadia being on the horizon, this in turn led to them building kingsway house, and the fella in charge did a runner and they remained unpaid for, and wakey lurched from on and off field crisis to crisis. |

I don't remember the chronoogy this far back and know we obviously never were promoted, but did we ever use the Burtonwood plan to bullpoop our preserved status in SL? I feel like we must have been under some pressure in the mid-late 1990s. |

Have they put towels on all the loungers, and keep beating the Wakey fans to the all inclusive buffet? |
