Massive full front page today on the planning inquiry "DO OR DIE" says the headline then two pages with quotes from James Elston, Rodney Walker etc etc, amazed??

Yes quite a refreshing change Wakefield Rugby league club hitting the front page. Lets hope it happens again when we get the go ahead with the Newmarket project.

circulation may go down a bit in the newmarket / methley area though........

i have not read it yet but if it puts WTW in a positive light then well done to the paper.

credit where credit is due.

i e mailed the editor to complain when they printed that johnson story on the front page, and i will e mail again to recognise their support.

i would urge others to do the same.

Just read it - the whole feature is unerringly positive, with a little editorial further on that reinforces the importance of the development both to the club and in wider economic terms.

I showed my support by buying the paper, which I don't normally do.

Could we put in an objection that people in Methley shouldn't be reading a Wakefield paper? AFter all it is in Leeds afterall!!!

Hey. we are not all bad in Methley! but some are

It is just a few people, Methley folk are ok, if we get the go a head, I can see more new Wildcats fans coming from Methley area...

Theres more of us around here than you think. We have great fun winding all the cas fans up.

Fair play to the WE this week. Couldn't have asked for more!

It's what they may print in subsequent weeks that may be the worry

It doesn't take much to wind a Cas fan up, they are very delicate people at the moment.

I am expecting some anti stadium stuff as well soon. The papers do tend to offer a balanced view of things which is correct. People can then make their own opinions after being informed. Hopefully most will side with the Pro-stadium side.

Its amazing how many of the cas fans in the village are also anti newmarket

The paper has been that negative about the club for so long that its about time they showed some support for us. Lets hope it continues. Might be worth stategically leaving a copy on the planning inspectors desk!!!

A very good percentage would love to see NM go tits-up, the same that were gutted we managed to get a positive outcome on franchise day.

Correct. There's a high percentage of Cas fans who want all this to go belly up. Instead of stirring up a frenzy about us they'd be better rallying round and putting all their efforts in to ousting tricky dicky the spin doctor

Ive had many debates with people in the pub about newmarket and they list all the objections we`ve heard, all the while wearing a tigers shirt. Funny that.

If that's the case, I'm very happy to hear that the local paper is supporting local issues and its local team. I'll tell the family to renew their subscriptions.

One swallow..........

This is all good stuff from the Express and about time. I hope some copies of the paper were placed face up in the Town Hall so the inspectors just happen to see.

Exactly, its a good start from the WE, but lets just see eh?

Yes there are many Castleford fans in and around the Methley area and that leads me to be really suspicious about the Cllr Wakefield led LCC objections.
Is all this green belt erosion stuff purely a smoke screen for the true motivations behind the objections?

I still read it in the shop and put it back on the shelf, saves a bob or two.
