As well as the clowns on a sunday................................ what a cracking idea lol

Alas, he knows his rugby history. In areas where other codes of football were dominant, association football was commonly known as soccer.

After having a look at the youtube video on their website I think something like that could clean up in Wakefield!
And would fit in perfectly with the Newmarket Development.
Good on you Uncle Roders if thats what you fancy doing! More sporting investment can't be bad!

Having watched it again I think a facility such as that based on the same site as our community stadium would be perfect and could be utilised by WT very well too.
We host a lot of "camp" activities for local children- This would give us a perfect base away from the stadium for these sorts of events, with facilities suiting both RL and football.

Just an idea but fits perfectly into the grand scheme of NM.

In Uncle Roders we trust!

I remember when Rodders was chairman of Trinity and he'd brought the actor Richard (This Sporting Life) Harris onto the board. At an AGM someone from the back shouted "When's tha gunna get some brass arta that Richard Arris?" Rodders looked over to him and said "All in good time, we don't want to rush the bloke" (or words to that effect.) I think Parkie was co-opted onto the commitee round about the same time.

His contact book must be worth it's weight in gold!
As I've said before; any fan sniping at his involvement with us comes from nothing more than jealousy and fear.
-Any RL club would welcome a man like Uncle Roders with open arms, he has friends in very high places.

Is that it?

Of course Wakey being viable is part of it, but it makes sense to ensure the anchor tenant is viable. The Wakey stadium is a crucial part of the project, but there's nothing sinister.

Its just another good days scrounging at belle vue

Edited for accuracy
That's it exactly- If Sir Rod has his eye on a bit of the development then that is why he found £160 grand lying around to keep WTWC afloat. ( Not to mention his shareholding) If they had gone under Newmarket would not suceed even if it was sent back by the SoS.


As for nothing sinister in it - well



In all walks of life some people in this world are good at pulling the wool over some peoples eyes.

well said, although the polecats will take offence at this obvious truth

Watch out, theres some green eyed monsters about- and its not even Halloween yet!

A Goals Soccer Centre would be more than welcome. Wakefield is pretty barren when it comes to sporting facilities so the more the merrier.

for god's sake when you going to stop this ongoing campaign,

do you honestly think we are daft enough to not realise that its a case of scratching backs, that's the way life goes on
can only think its a case of jealousy or frustration that your club hasn't received a generous handout or bitterness that we have survived to fight another day, and if that's the case then your a very sad person for wanting the sport to loose teams

just for once look at the bigger picture or would you like to go back to living in caves

Things are only sinister if they are concealed. It has always been the case that Newmarket is about the stadium. The fact that the building of the stadium has to be done first is an indicator of that. By coupling it with other things, an investor has been found who can also benefit. The links have always been there for all to see and so nothing sinister.

I think you're trying to catch shadows here.

Would you like us to stop trying for a new ground and carry on playing at Belle Vue for the rest of our days?

Then you'd be moaning about how rubbish our dump of a stadium is and that there's no light in the gents and that there are no baby changing facilities and that small kids can't see the game without standing on blocks and that the terraces are dropping to bits etc etc etc

all the evidence ways up to be a sound development and covers all areas of leisure, employment and redevelopment of barren land at little upheaval to few,
like you say its been open from the start and isn't Castleford now looking at the same way about building using a trust ?

So you are going to groundshare

It took long enough , but i got one

poor reply though, you could have done better

What did you get? a brain cell to keep your other one company?

And what the hell is a 'mickey poor reply'?

No response to these questions Amber old lad?

Moving things on a tad, exactly how many business men would you trust especially those involved with sports clubs?

I have to confess to thinking that the clown jibe was quite funny. I'll set 'em up, you knock 'em down, sunshine.

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if you'd had enough oxygen at birth?

Thats better, old material but better none the less.

I can smell fish

Hi Trollface.

Still chomping and making a tit of yourself I see.

If anyone wishes to clean it up and re-open it, feel free.
