I wonder if the new Art Gallery on Thornes wharf will have some kind of function area which would be suitable for the BBC sports personality of the year awards/Turner prize etc. I'm all for bidding for this kind of thing as long as we can do it properly, it would be extremely embarrassing to see Wakefield host these events in some kind of ramshackle make do way that made us look like hairy assed yokels.

One of the funniest things I have read for a while. Almost as funny as Wakefield Council actually believing Yorkshire County Cricket would relocate to Durkar, and look at the amount of money the council wasted on that!

it will and it could easily actually,
and despite the smal mindedness of others on here it isnt as daft as it sounds, and other performance settings are subject to other bids in other places in wakefield city and airedale for example, its a surprise to me but I do know the places exist or will exist to make it viable.

If memory serves me correctly (as a YCCC member at the time), the club's membership voted in favour of the move, it was the small detail of being unable to break the lease with Caddick that left Yorkshire at Headingley.

missed the boat on the arena 10 years ago when Peter Ridsdale was in charge at LUFC. If they'd have gone ahead with the redevelopment of , which included an arena, that would have been fine. Now, they're scrabbling around for land to stick it in, and wanting development agencies to help fund it - which , as a commercial competitor, is not too pleased about!

You can read more here, including how LUFC spent money setting up an ice hockey club!

lets hope if we get it that the sports personality is not a swimmer
