But its thinking small, just like the salford new stadium now being scaled down to a 15k stadium looks like where going to be playing test matches in the same 3 grounds forever.

Yes,and once upon a time Liversedge were a succesful village team,but times move on.
The game is played in the present,not in the past,achievements from 30 years ago and over count for nothing.

Take your bitterness and write to the RFL.

Or maybe realistic and cost effective.

can I just mention that there is room to extend the boundaries further besides the corners, we could just go for 35k all seater and not even get it what would you do

I was always under the impression that Fev was in Fev?

Whilst I understand your bitterness regarding the RFL pulling up the drawbridge, that’s hardly Wakey’s fault.

Shouldn’t you be e-mailing Red Hall instead of detracting from a bit of good news regarding Wakefield striving to get a new ground?

Up until two seasons ago Fev did have the opportunity to get into S.L – didn’t they?

Rubbish, wearing a shirt means nothing, go to the amateur teams Olde church tavern and Chequerfield rangers and ask who they support. 98% will say Rovers, the only people in ponte that support cas or leeds are the social outcasts

The reason im on this forum and this thread is because of the statement that Fev may be sharing, i think this statement by Wakey is very miss-leading and wonder why it was added

And heres me thinking you had come along to give us a bit of fun

Thats 40/50 people then.What about the rest of Ponte.

Because supporting a different team makes you a 'social outcast'

If the whole of Ponty, Knottingley and Fev support Fev, how come they only get attendances of about 1500.

just because you're paranoid, dont mean they're not after you

I'm sure the statement, which also referred to Cas, was made to emphasize the point that this is a community stadium and, like it or not, Fev and Cas are part of the community and have a right to share the facility. You may well have games in the future where you could attract more fans than your ground could hold. If that were the case, you could stage the game in the new stadium at Stanley, if you wanted to. It won't be our ground like Belle View is/was, after all.

I work a couple of days a week in Ponte and see plenty of Fev gear.

Just wish some on here would stop the dick measuring contest. I'd love both Cas and Fev to be in SL, two local derbies two big crowds for all three clubs at the home fixture. Give me promotion and relegation anyday of the week.

Good luck to Fev in the Championship.

I dunno, you offer the use of your potential new facility to someone and not content with a "no thanks" - they have to kick off!

Theres gratitude for you!

So true.

Until it is built it isn't worth a carrot , and if it is built I think you might just regret it , what you have got today is what we had at leigh 8 years ago

Dream on kidda.The nights must fly in your house!

Ok then cocky lad,what's a tem???

Not having a transcript of the press conference it's impossible to know how the presentation was structured, but I am suprised that so much appears to have been made about the use of the stadium by our neighbouring clubs. I don't have a problem with this at all but is this significant? Has this become a requirement now of Council support or the funding scenario?

The current picture of a contentious (site wide) scheme, both commercially and from a town planning point of view means we will have a very nervy few years. I don't unfortunately see this being resolved within the timescales suggested by some.

In terms of town planning it's perfect. straight off the motorway and into the complex. no city congestion... Perfect location IMO

As far as I’m aware the scheme is not reliant upon others playing there and the funding is based on the rest of the scheme getting approval.

If you go to the Stadium Q&A thread on the last page there is a well thought-out balanced viewpoint on the wider scheme and the potential objectors.

Also the town planning will see 800 less cars enter Wakefield with the proposed P&R scheme to be based at the new stadium.

yep every ones a winner with this developement, should and will happen

I'm sorrry but it's worth lots of carrots my friend. The project is progressing well probably to your dissapointment. Your hopes off getting in SL probably depended on us, cas and Salford not getting our stadium. Having said that your lack of competativness on the pitch will probably see you stuck in the championship for a long time to come.
