Correct

Great to have them here, more money for the club and will give us more access to funding for improving the stadium too.

Well done, Rovers.

[Bryan S Taylor]

The positives out weigh the disadvantages. Good luck to both sides

[Trevorkfevfan]

Rodders I assume?

[Steve Slater]

Can anyone remember going to a fans meeting quite a few years ago when they announced they were looking into a football club using the stadium, I can't remember whether this was Wakefield AFC or not, because they would then be able to apply for a grant to install a plastic pitch. Nothing came of it at the time but I wonder whether the same still applies?

At least it will make a change to see a successful scorer finish up full of love bites.

We will have a better chance of the premier League. It's not run by numpties for a start. And they don't discriminate.

Got people talking about us though hasn't it? And there's only one thing worse than being talked about, as you'd know well at Dewsbury...
