WTW on the other hand, has been let down, badly managed and generally run into the ground by a series of its former stewards, as well as being the victim of some pretty underhand political maneuvering on the part of WMDC.
As fans, we're well aware that BV doesn't fit the RFL's arbitrary vision of a 'modern' stadium, but I think it's short-sighted and disrespectful to write off 130 years of history simply because you have no understanding of what came before SL.
Lots of people are working their knackers off to get us into a new stadium and our new owner appears to be doing a good job of quietly getting all his ducks in a row for the upcoming PI; in the meantime, I know it's not particularly trendy on here to be anything other than cynical and sarcastic, but you'd demonstrate significantly more class if you expressed some support for the efforts of everyone involved, rather than pouring scorn on the current arrangements.'"
Then when you get it , you'll wish you hadn't

| For those of you that don't already know, a Public Inquiry commences tomorrow at 10am, Wakefield Town Hall, into the proposed Newmarket Colliery Development next to J30 of the M62, Stanley, Wakefield.
The Inquiry will sit Tuesday to Friday and is scheduled to last from 6th December till 21st December. The planning inspector has a guide time of three months to submit his report to the Secretary of State who will then hopefully announce a positive outcome, and Wakefield's new stadium build can commence and be finished in plenty of time for opening at the start of the 2014 SL season, if not sooner.
If anyone would like to follow progress, please follow @Res4Newmarket on twitter or just pop along to the Wakefield board on RL Fans.

Probably not. If you mean a negative account I'm sure you can get one started for us.

Good luck with it, hope is comes off. I had an unfortunate moment when I scanned your Twitter address as ar5es for Newmarket though. Unless that's what it's meant to say?

| The planning inspector has just stated that there are 2848 letters of support and only 184 against.
Also he will visit Belle Vue, The Halliwel Jones and LSV stadiums to gain an accurate view of the City of Wakefields need of a new stadium.

| Planning Inspector confirms that 1 SL Chairman has written a letter in SUPPORT of the groups OBJECTING to Wakefield building a stadium at Newmarket!
No prizes for guessing that it was Richard Wright of Castleford RLFC, FFS that's dispicable and don't bother trying to defend it!

| The Inspectorate will put great stock in the testimonies of Warrington Wolves and Leigh Centurions regarding the positive impact of moving to new stadia, thank you to those clubs for their willingness to support another RL club.
They will also take seriously the letter of objection from Castleford RL Clubs Chairman Richard Wright!
I think RL fans need to be asking why Richard Wright has sought to derail the progress of a fellow RL club in it's attempts to build a new stadium!

by objecting, he's not just objecting against the progress of another RL Club but the progression of super league as a whole if everyone is to have state of the art stadia!

| As a pure guess with both Castleford and Wakefield under the same council planning authority. Planning could be hard if they decide the area only needs one stadium. The first one past the post and builds a stadium will make it very hard for the other IMO.

Warrington's move (to a new stadium they owned) was certainly a big success, helped by all the money put into the club to buy better players. However Leigh's experience was not all positive - will the drawbacks be part of the testimony? However, the Wakefield move has more in common with Warrignton than Leigh and they also have money behind them.

As it happens both stadiums have received unanimous backing from WMDC, in Cas’ case full planning has been approved and in Trinity’s the outline stage was minded to approve.

Managed to make his club a pariah club in one move, he must be so proud.
We all accept he has a right to fight his corner but attempting to scupper NM is an act of betrayal to the game as a whole. I also cannot see where he will benefit. The collapse of NM would not immediately or even ever benefit GH. Even if Trinity accepted a ground share we would not bring any extra funding to GH and it's the lack of funding that is stopping it happening.
The man is filth and it unfortunately reflects on the club he represents. Cas fans get rid of this fool.

| Richard Wright seems to be under the false impression that if Trinity's new stadium is halted the developer will build elsewhere and still provide funding for a stadium. If Newmarket can't happen then he seems to think that York Courts money would follow Wakefield Trinity to Glasshoughton and his funding problems for Cas would be solved.
The man is deluded, desperate and dispicable.
He should be forced to answer some serious questions from the RFL and Castleford supporters as to the motives for his actions.

| Quote ="TRB"The letter is written in reply to a request and confirms that Castleford were willing to partake in a feasibility study into the 2 stadium projects in the summer of 2010.
This was at the point when Cas had realised that they weren't going to be able to raise sufficient funds for GH and it was an attempt to re-direct funds from the council and from NM to the GH project. SWAG and the club (Ted at the time) agreed that it was not right to go into this without the formation of strict guidelines beforehand. The idea was scrapped.
RW makes no mention of the suggestion to undertake exactly the same type of process previously, dating back to the early formation of NM.
Whatever his point may be, it beggars belief that a fellow club would involve themselves in a process such as this and it is, as others have said, a very low blow indeed which harms the reputation of himself and (to a lesser degree) his club.
We have known about this letter for weeks but have waited until it was in the public domain before commenting.'"
Quote ="jack in the box"Unless I read it wrong it goes a bit further than that TRB, correct me if I am wrong but doesn’t it strongly suggest there is no desperate need at all for Wakefield to want a stadium as one is easily achievable for them at Glasshoughton should they so choose. This thereby undermines the central issue at the PH and the main reason why WMDC are backing the Newmarket development on Greenfield land.
Also the way I read it, he tells the nimbys Wakefield have been unreasonable and acted in their own self-interest by pursuing Newmarket and not going along with his suggestion to share at Glasshoughton'"
Just a few quotes from people who have seen the letter.

| Nothing on the Cas forum about this. Wonder what they think of their Chairman's actions.
Are we blinkered because he is against us or is it an unnecessary low blow?

I think the comments from fans of other clubs tells you that it's not our blinkered view!
