Trust me we have a massive amount of fans. Bigger than Cas/Fev could ever dream of. The amount of people who used to go (stretching back 50 years or more) or would go is unbelievable.

took a pic today that no one could of seen happening but its on my naff phone that has let me down lately, its still there but won't move from it



pic of the century

Well I am back from London now but got a text from TRB as soon as the decision was made this morning! I was in a seminar at the time and had to stop myself cheering out loud!

I am not sure what you were all worrying about anyway, I told you it was a formality!





I would just like to add to the chorus of thanks to TRB, I have got to know him quite well over the last few months and I know how hard he has worked and how much this means to him, because he loves the club and he loves his fellow fans. Well done TRB!



Also, to all my new mates at SWAG for all working so hard and having the commitment and faith to know that this day would come!



TRB told me on the phone earlier that they have had a whip round and bought me... a Trinity shirt! I might even have said, in my euphoria, that I would wear one the first time the Rhinos play Trinity at Newmarket!

That all said the NIMBY's are not going to give up making trouble and trying to force this to a public inquiry! I think that is highly unlikely to happen, especially as TRB told me it was quite obvious that our suspicions that the majority of the objections were being driven by a small group of NIMBY's from how they conducted themselves in the planning meeting. BUT we need to keep our ears to the ground and we could still have some work to do, so if you hear of see anything about or from the objectors and either of their faux groups, please let TRB, me or any members of SWAG know.

Cheers everyone, I really, really pleased for you all, the club and the city. Top Banana!

After a disapointing season this is the cherry on the cake that as brightened up the year for us, Well done to TRB and SWAG thanks for putting in all the hard work to make this possible.

Did the Newmarket Lane banger racer turn up, or was he one of the absentees from the "Wakefield Angry Residents" gang of 3?

IA - we all owe you a big debt of gratitude too, mate. Unfortunately, you're a rhinos fan, so we'll be unable to repay you. Sorry, but you know how it is...


[size=50Thank you![/size

Feeling really chuffed tonight after a fantastic day for my beloved Trin. TRB,IA,SWAG,TED,ALL THE FANS









YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

They had 32 in their half of the public gallery - I suspect he was one of the 3 men sitting together in the front row.

Well happy great result, and if the Government send it back to Wakefield for the official stamp, then our work will be only half done, next stage getting it built in time, THEN we all need to get as many people down to the Wildcats as poss, for this season and beyond, but I know one thing for sure, I will be getting my standing ticket for cop end of new ground A.S.A.P. because I not sitting lol

To return from holiday to this news is fantastic!!! Well done all!!

TRB said that her and Andrew Booth came across as NIMBY's and that when questioned had no real answers or were able to give any substance to their answers!

Just a thought. We've had many complaints over the last few months around goings on at the club, poor signings, no money etc. All this time the club has said nothing, stayed quiet and got on with the job at hand, possibly causing even more unrest amongst the fans. But following the investor announcement yesterday, and planning today, does anyone think that our we may actually have a Board of Directors who know what they are doing and are taking the club forward? After a tough few months, I'm actually sat here tonight thinking that my club is in safe hands.

Nothing new to add - except I was working in sunny Withernsea and BBC Radio Humberside failed to mention it (miserable sods). I found out the great news when my mate texted me and he lives in Cyprus.

Wot? No Caption Competition.

Thanks mate, no repayment necessary, seeing that land put to use again as providing valuable jobs and much needed community sports facilities is enough.

Andrew Booth is Paul Williams next door neighbour, the house is a very large semi actually. So maybe we have been giving Mr Williams all the stick and we should have been reserving some for Mr Booth. It could be the Mr Williams has been putting all the website stuff together in conjunction with him and Mr Williams has had to keep a low public profile because of his own planning history?

My mum phoned me an hour ago.

"I don't know if you've heard over there, but I've got some good news for you. I was watching the news just now, and they've approved the Wakefield stadium."

"Thanks, mum."

[size=50She doesn't know what I do in my spare time...[/size

I must say that the fans who turned out to support the club this morning were fantastic.

Good natured, friendly and very passionate. Made me feel really proud to be one of you. Still on cloud nine. Have a good evening all.

I agree sometimes you have to play the long game and play your hand at the right time, i think James Elston and Francis Stephenson deserve alot of credit for driving this behind the scenes but taking flak in public.

I never thought I would see the day I was happy that a Rhino was running our club

"Where we you, where were you, where were you when you were sh*t."

no pic of the pooch though,

we walked from Wrenthorpe and back wearing his Trin scarf but made many friends today

Still above Cas, mate.
