Totally agree. The idea of a sporting partnership between all Wakefield sporting clubs is something that's been put forward before & something I would welcome with open arms.
Wakefield FC should be tenants at Newmarket & in a perfect world part of the same sporting umbrella.

I've been known to attend Barnsley games, but pay nothing more than a passing interest in anything to do with football, IMO mainly because I have no natural connection. For me sporting loyalty is founded upon civic pride & as Wakefield has no pro team I've never been able to build up any significant connection to any team.

If they do go into administration AG could do worse than pick them up much like he did us. He's shown that massive improvements can come from relatively small (& inexpensive) changes & can make the world of difference. WFC could be run from a 2 man team within the existing WTW structure.

People may shoot this down but IMO this could be the solution to a great many problems.
The stadium would be in use all year round. While I admit WFC may not attract that many fans at the moment IMO we should be thinking long term. This could be something we could grow within our city, to compliment the renewed feeling of growth & prosperity coming from WTW.
All it takes is forward planning & a sound business planning- two qualities AG has proven to all IMO.

(AG is a HT fan so in reality I doubt he'll be into it- Sir Rodney Walker???)

That's how I understood it as well. Basically Wakefield FC were saying that they used to have 7 or 8 teams playing out of College Grove but now because the football pitch has gone at CC they've only got the first team left. If they can use Newmarket then they can re-start these teams. It all ties in with the Trinity community plan to get more people involved with sport.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they used the pitch with 1 stand to play the matches on.

Only the 1st team and reserves regularly played on the CG pitch, the rest played on the pitches over the road and up by Pinderfields. The other teams only used the changing facilities and rarely at that.

With only sponsorship money and gate receipts they found it hard to afford to play out of CG. How they expect to pay for any of the facilities at NM I haven't a clue.

We in Wakefield all need to get behind it." https://twitter.com/#!/andrewGlover1 Wakefield FC now join us in JOINT support for Newmarket! Great news! I had always hoped they would join us, this is exactly what the city/stadium needs. A football team would be great for Wakefield and to have them at Newmarket makes the site even more viable in terms of footfall & economics, not to mention providing a brilliant stage to grow BOTH brands, both proudly sporting the city's name! As far as the future of WFC goes I hope they can enlist the help of SRW & build the brand.'" its what is required for the stadium to be a success, more than one club using it. in fact it would be the idea solution to have both Wakefield club share it rather than guiseley fc

Just as a aside,should we consider the playing surface if everything falls into place at NM,Remember last time we had the round ball at BV it almost destroyed the best playing surface in the league,no firm opinion myself other than obviously don't like to see any wakefield team fall by the wayside,just being devil's advocate

Which adds weight to the idea of an artificial pitch as at Widnes.
