'Newmarket Fields' is certainly close to Wakefield than the Keepmoat is!

I have a wf1 post code too and Belle Vue is two miles away from us, stanley is 4miles and is closer to the leeds/ cas boundary so I don't know how he can come up with that statement ?

great news for the club and the city. well done to all involved.

don't count your chickens you need permission first!!!! ate they really gonna have 2 stadiums within a 5 mile radius!!! wmdc must be made of money!!

Belive it when it happens! lol

Haven't you got some ironing to do???

Well as excited as I'm about this proposition, I will only really believe that the new stadium is being built when there is photographic evidence of the foundations being laid and the first brick setting in its cement. Here's hoping...

absolute class

yes I won't believe they will too, so please don't be too distressed when you find that ours gets the move on

God knows, I know F all about geography



But any how it's in Wakefield so who cares!?

I can't remember it being said that the council were paying for it.

I suppose I should add a few apostrophes after that.

Or maybe some exclamation marks as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Aye, them and all. Not sure I'm quite sober yet.

Boooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe they didn't take into account the distance from the new ground to the shed.



Should have built it next to the shed now the other plans have gone down the pan!

Anyone see the interview with Wright fella from Cas on SL show?

Certianly did not rule out a ground share......

Nor does Rodney Walker in an interview in the LE, leaves it very open for Cas to join in - very interesting indeed.

Will have to get the paper to read it! Spoilt things now

I am gonna sound like a real whinger here (particualrly as I am watching this from 13000 miles away)


but I am really dissapointed that the ground wont be in the city... I understand the reasons but it is really sad...

Wakefield Trinity should play in the City of Wakefield.

And any ground share WILL end in a merger... eventually

The wording from the press release did stress that this would benefit the district so I’m sure that the venture is open to both Cas and Featherstone. The distance is pretty much equal from both places but I do consider Stanley to be very much in ‘Wakefield’ as opposed to Castleford so I don;t think that would sit well with Cas fans.

What a kick in the teeth that would be for RW? Cas sharing a ground located outside the Town! Think we have to hear confirmation of his Glasshoughton plans being abandoned first though?

I see what you mean but it's still in Wakefield so thats good and the transport links are very good.

Aslong as Cas only play in there for there away game against us I don't care

It is complete nonesence to expend 2 seperate batches of tens of millions of pounds in the Wakefield district to build 2 stadium just for the luxury of pampering to sentimental parocialism of fans.

I have said it before Cas and Wakefield making a joint spend of over 35K to build 2 stadium that will be used less than 20 days a year for RL is business madness. Added to that they will then end up competing for conference, training and other commercial business that stadiums engage in as their other core businesses (driving down revenue).

This extra expenditure will go in the pockets of developers and out of our game. A stadium share should be sold as a way of investing 10s of million of pounds in the game in the district by not spending it on 2 stadium.

Not a popular view I know but a way forward that keeps millions in our game. Oh and by the way I don't think that a Millanese derby lacks passion or either clubs an identity - its just a ground!

The City of Wakefield is very small with very few substantial areas to develop into a suitable complex. It's only four miles from the city centre so it's close enough for me.

How much would Cas put into ground? Heard something about them not been able to sell there ground



They have always thought they could go it alone.

Where is the precident or the evidence that justifies your certanty?

It is yes it's closer to Wakey town centre than to Cas any way, they just want to try and please themselfs, I live in Stanley and it's in Wakefield!!!
