Tv adds, large billboards on a few busy roads in wakey, website, posters and outreach work ( team and marketing team in town centre sat offering memberships etc). Also linking in with local rags abit more than previous. Getting better on marketing front.

Not saying it will be the best but we are promoting games more in recent times.

TV Advertisements show that you are making the effort to improve this is something that the RFL rate very highly. Except when they're just making their own rules of course.

All this sounds like you might have a stronger application than you all think.

Dont be surprised if you arent actually kicked out tbh.

Look I'm not a troll so dont act like that with me.

If you read what I said I said "set up" that means that they've set up a stadium for the future that will be built through planning permission obtaining funding etc etc.

Just like Saints or how Leeds have setup a redevelopment of theirs.

Sorry to disappoint but they have a new stadium coming and thats fact.

What is frustrating is the fact that Wakefield Council passed our planning application, we have a developer who is funding the build. But due to Leeds council opposing the planning we have to go to a public inquiry which doesn't start while December this year.

How come Leeds council had a say? :S

There was nothing in my post to suggest I was treating you like a troll at all - don't be so sensitive!

And Cas do not have a stadium set up, any more than we have. In fact they are likely to be at least 18 months behind Wakey now, with having to find a buyer for WR.

To achieve that sale, they need to gain PP for change of use to retail - the application for this takes a long time and costs something like £200K (IA will know in much more detail).

Then, when a buyer is found, WR will also go to PI (unless the govt actually start practicing what they preach about streamlining local planning issues).

A long way to go yet, for both clubs.

Ok then in that case cas are further on to an untrained eye which will probably include the the rfl tbh.

The only thing that cas have is a better spin doctor.

The press, sky and maybe even the RFL have bought into this concept that they're about to move into this mythical new stadium. Whilst they now have full planning permission for the site, they do not have, and never have had, the money to build it. There was a lot of bluff and careful timing of announcements prior to Wakefield's administration, but after that they felt confident enough to reveal the truth. Their application is based on their current stadium and although they 'hope' to move in 2013, in reality they have no idea when, or even if, it will be built.

I'm sure you've heard the tale of the Emperor's new clothes.
There is no stadium!
Perception is everything; reality is nothing.
Rant over.

The RFL employed a company to offer independant advice on the state of play regarding stadiums, none of us are privy to what the outcome of the report may be and if they take any notice of it.

If that is the case why is everyone so worried? I think if Cas are in that situation then they dont actually have any stronger an application than yourselves apart from administration, a part they removed from the rules so they didnt have to kick their precious Crusaders out.

What are your attendances in comparison to Cas? And hows the youth setup?

Sometimes theres a kneejerk reaction before everyone thinks deeply about it. I get used to it alot on Wigan's board "Finch is rubbish"
"Pat is shocking" etc etc.

Proved wrong werent they? lol

I've set up a plan to build Disneyland near Pontefract I just need to sell my house for £50million pounds........

Don't take less than 50

Extremely well said - I concur.

Everybody email everybody and anybody you know, join facebook and click 'like' on this page!!!!

In very real terms Wakefield are now ahead of Castleord in the race to build a stadium!

We have the funding in place and are some way down the line in the planning process.

Castlefords stadium is now back to square one in the planning process because they can not build anything until the new supermarket gets full planning permission and the haven't even drafted an application yet!

Cas have planning permission to build a stadium but no money to build anything at all!

We will build before Cas!

would you care to place these facts on the table

Still detest the whole stadia criteria of franchising, but, hey, what can we do about it? Would rather it be decided on the credentials of the team that calls Belle Vue home.

1683.
lost a bit of inertia after a promising start, but it goes to show the strength of viral media for getting the message out quickly.

I cant understand why we arent at 3,000 likes by now!! its sad after one day it was at 1,000 and now only 700 more people have visited the page...

I agree mate, it is a little disappointing.

NO one like us we don't care.

Have another big push. Invite all your friends to join.
Post as your status etc.

Im sure we can get to over 2k by the end of the day

Not all our fans will be on Facebook, so the number who have joined is impressive. That said, I am yet to be convinced over what this will actually achieve, and that may put some off also.
