l can only answer that for me......but Yes!!

To be honest, and without wanting to turn this into a Wakey/Cas slanging match, quite lot of Trinity fans has suggested this in the past........it does seem however that it was/is the Cas club and their fans that have been against this.........they want to 'go it alone', good luck to them!

OK then let me put it another way.

If you were still at the Boulevard & H.K.R were still at Craven Park, would the two clubs & more importantly the fans, come to an agreement as to where the new stadium was to be sited?

Don’t get me wrong, I couldn’t care less where the new ground is, I travel from Filey, but if a joint ground was located in Glasshoughton or Stanley, then the supporters who ‘lost out’ would feel like it was only a matter of time before the dreaded merger would come their way.

Sharing with the round ball is one thing, but with your buddies in the east, and the threat of a merger………

Good move by Wakey best of luck with it. It's extendable which is the key. If the initial size was determined by the amount of money available then it has to be better to build at 12k capacity and extend later than not build at all. Hope it all goes to plan.

Well seen as both clubs dont consult the fans, then id say that didnt matter anyways

But yes, if that was seen as they way forward then i wouldnt mind.

And im sure that they would have sited it in a fairly central place



although i wouldnt mind if it was in the east of hull , nice and handy for me then

To small for me i would at least have it at 15k and yes i think the 3k would make all the difference. Doncaster's stadium is nice and they are a few div below aren't they?

Great to see the good responses from the FC fans, decent lot as always.

We don't worry about standee, he hates Wakey and never misses an opportunity to slate us for something.

Cheers guys (and gals!)

Ok we'll build a massive stadium, half fill it (how will our attendances double in a year?), suffer from high overheads,expences etc
Glad your not in charge of the project!

Good news for Wakey if it comes off, i like the size as there is nothing worse than an empty stadium.

Yep, spot on - come off at M62 J30, turn left and you are there. Seven pubs within a mile or so and a couple within walking distance.

Does this mean you will bring even more fans than you normally do?

A newer ground with better facilities is always likely to attract extra fans, especially families.

Ease of access will attract more away supporters as well, looks good for Wakefield

thought it was there - used to live close by and cycled round that way a fair bit

hopefully we will bring a good following - for some reason we always seem to bring more to cas than wakey - one reason may be the shelter offered by the stands at cas whereas at belle vue you are on open terracing

Sounds great to me. Any new build stadium is a move in the right direction and great for the club, the supporters and the community and of course the possibility of a better licence from the RL when the franchises are up for renewal. I'd also like to see the stadium management (whoever that maybe) to name a stand ' THE DAVID TOPLISS STAND'. Marvelous.

Thats what i would expect from this lot, a bit ruff around the edges

but true RL fans

Great news for Wakefield



I like going to Belle Vue, probably because of the following we take, and I like the sense of history I get from the old grounds, but it's not exactly family friendly and lacks facilities.

The recent past has proven that new stadiums really improve a club, particularly the fanbase, take ourselves for example and Hudds/Wire to a lesser extent.

Let's hope it comes off.

ps: Any pics/artist's impressions knocking about?

Just seen this!

You are a sad tw@!

No! on second thoughts I think you're right!

When the RFL said 12,000 minimum they obviously meant 20,000.

Wakefield should hang their heads in shame for trying to pull a fast one by building a stadium that only meets the criteria and does'nt go well beyond it..

If we do then 12k might be too small



But seriously hope it gets the good ahead. Great club Wakefield and deserve some good news for a change.

Everything sounds about right for me.

Well done Wakey, after tonight you deserve the greatest stadium in the sport.

You have player unity

You have a board that care about fans and know they exist

you are a CLUB

When this goes ahead I don't think any visiting RL fans will be complaining, especially those coming from the M62, because it will be dead easy find. Follow Wakefield sign, the turn left onto Newmarket Lane after motorway junction and the stadium will be in sight. Plus, we need this stadium. If this is not a reasonable enough reply, then what is?

would love a smaller version of the kc

Yes, that would be good, but going to the original poster of the topic calling us a small club. What a bloody cheek!!



Still, egg on his face though.

BUT WE CAN BEAT YOU

but tonight there's look half full, we don't warrant a bigger stadium as yet , we have to let it take its time

Did you go buggerlugs? If so where was my pint?
