Why, surely it's commom sense that attendances increase by a few thousand when a new stadium is built, due to it being under cover and generally alot nicer!

Clearly a fair amount of work has been done since the pit was closed by this lot:

Not quite sure what to make of this, they seem to be all over. I assume it is already accounted for:

Isn't this land the area where pearman stated he had all the shares for during our debacle time with him?

Just been checking my share certificates and realised the original offer when Sir Rodney was around previously was in 1991, my las certificate is dated 2001.

Rather conveniently, the proposed area sits right in between the habitat and nature areas by my reckoning.

Glad to hear David Hinchcliffe will be involved also.

although this is good news the only thing that bothers me is that the
announcement says creating world class facilities for CLUBS in the DISTRICT.shouldn't they just be saying CITY?????

It can be read the other way, e.g. when Ted is quoted as saying "this is very exciting for rugby league in the district" it arguably makes Wakey look the inclusive ones, where as Cas made it clear they were doing their own thing. In franchising terms we are the club willing to represent the whole area.

Equally using the term district opens us up to a wider catchment area. It equates Wakefield Trinity to being the representatives of Rugby for the whole area. In a similar vein positing the stadium on the edge of Wakefield, bordering Cas/Leeds territory isn't a bad idea, as it makes us the most local club in the border area. Obviously, we have to be sure Batley and Dewsbury don't encroach to the other side...

I’m sure if it’s available to everyone, not just sports clubs, within the district then it will generate larger grants to help develop it.

Boody hell,they work quick,it wasn't there yesterday!!

yes good point bloomers as long as it is wakefield ONLY

Wasnt there an hour ago when I visited theres tons of land round there most of it flat, about 10 houses which the building work might affect (i.e. noise ) same applies for match days, about 200yrds from motorway junction for me a perfect location.

Gonna be great Chris, Fridays after training, Sunday afternoons.......couple of beers in clubhouse after our game, then a nice walk round to the Stadium (we should be back to Sundays by the time were in



)

sounds like a plan

I know what you mean, I said the same when I read it.

Hear they way have a sports science college or something there so not only will it benefit Wakefield Trinity but also the wider community

£275k will get you mine, Pilchard but you have to have Leeds & Cas fans as neighbours.

Been looking at the site on Google Maps; interestingly it looks equal distance from Cas town centre and Wakey city centre.

Me too mate and it actually appears that if Cas were relocating to that site they wouldn't be moving as far as Wakey...and traffic-wise could get there a lot quicker. On a positive note it would take us both in the opposite direction from Fev

Talking to a Geography guy and he says it's more in Wakey than what our current ground is, any way I don't care it's in Wakefield and that is all that counts.

It is pretty equidistant from both places. 4.1miles from Wakefield town centre and 4.2 miles from Cas.

Well done swag and all involved finally we can move forward as a club and enjoy superlesgue without added burden.

hasnt our current ground got a wf1 post code that to me means its in the middle

Pretty usless at geography then seeing as Belle Vue is a stones throw from the city centre!

Perhaps he meant the one in Doncaster….
