I appreciate a lot of what you say there but for me it's about having a home you can identify with and feel at home.

I personally would never, ever get that feeling following Wakefield at Glasshoughton. Also going there would end any possibility of ever building our own stadium in Wakefield I would imagine.

I don't think I would have a problem following at Barnsley if I knew that while I was following there our own stadium was being built in Wakefield.

I've followed Wakey for over 20 years, maybe not as much as I would have liked home and away in recent years due to other commitments, but I did the hard times going to the likes of Whitehaven, Carlisle, Workington etc... and hardly missed a game for years and years, seeing plenty of bad times along the way. I always thoroughly enjoyed it though even if we did have some truly awful times. My hunger and passion was always there for my home town club though and that's the important bit....'home town club'

I now live out of Wakefield in Dewsbury but have no trouble at all travelling to 'home' games. Take that away from Wakefield permanently though and I'm sorry but that would be me done. I would probably walk the ten minutes up the road from home and watch Dewsbury.

I find it disrespectful of Jason to question fans love of the game for not wanting to travel out of Wakefield to watch [uOUR[/u 'home' team.

I know plenty of people who have followed Wakefield for as long and longer than me and with more passion who feel the same way. You only have to look at the poll I started on Glasshoughton and take notice of some of the posters who have voted 'no' to realise the strength of opposition to something that our club captain questions the fans over...

That's not how I read it. When the feasibility study returns the results that Box and Dicky Wright want to hear, Box will simply re-designate the land asset initially given to Wakey in favour of Cas. I don't think there's anything to stop him, at least, not going by the tone of the statement he made himself on the subject.

Why is it that all other local councils can build stadiums whether it be football or Rugby but WMDC have never come close,especially considering they have 3 RL teams in its area.Then again looking at how WMDC seems to neglect sports,swimming and general fitness for the local community it's no surprise.

Sky tv dictate how the structure of the grounds should be & to what degree. It seems that they want dual sporting facilities at all superleague venues. ie Leeds carnegie, jjb, galpharm, quins etc. So I do not think that they would have contemplated 2 stadiums in the same area even if they both could have been done on a budget.

the attacks on Sir Rod are a little odd!!...

almost seems to be something personal there...

if you re-arrange the letters of [iamber not yeller[/i and speak them with a castleford accent it almost sounds like p...e...t..e...r... b...o...????

or some one very closely associated with the chap!


Is there a history between Box and Walker? anyone know???

Anyway... I am getting totally P1ss3d off with this whole thing...

why dont we just pack up the franchise and re-locate to Barcelona... Barcelona Trinity Wildcats... and the weather for home games would be great!!

If Wakefield wont support the club... then take it away like the crusaders did, at least it would be a quick death!!

Do they though? Where are these hundreds of council built stadia across the country? City of Manchester is one, though built primarily for the Commonwealth Games. It is not the responsibility of the council to build something for a private business, it is their responsibility to build swimming pools and other such facilities for the good of the public health.

In rugby league land I can think of Halton 100% built by council
Leigh 100% built by council
Dony not sure but council had huge input.
Warrington not sure
Hull KC 100% built by council

Anyway accepting what you say about the stadium issue, surely you can't defend Box and his gang of to$$ers with the last bit as we have no pool and no other facilities. What the t W A T has done to our city is criminal.

That's a Murdoch conspiracy theory too far. JJB was built by the council for the benefit of both of Wigan's professional teams. Same with Galpharm. Leeds invited the union team to generate some more income, and Quins returned to the Stoop, because that was where they had previously enjoyed their most successful years. Sky has got nothing to do with any of this.

Cas got a footbridge. Come on, be fair.

He hasn't, unless I've missed something. The Community Trust is based around a large commercial development. The Trust has always supported a groundshare at Newmarket, but not at Glasshoughton. I don't think the Trust has any interest in Glasshoughton, as that isn't where the Yorkcourt development is supposed to be.

And what a fancy super duper foot bridge it is. Have you seen that thing they've built us across the calder that runs from that grey pill box to the scrap yard

Don't get me started on that one



...How much has the council WASTED on that hideous looking monstrosity.....£30 MILLION+ I believe, and just who is going to go there ??????

Hmmm...now let me think where £30 million could have been spent better ?????

It was £4.8 million.

He's talking about the new art gallery in Wakefield not the footbridge.

Well you missed something then, Rodney wanted Trinitry to move in temporarily till all the planning issues and building was complete at NM, so it looks to me that he is hand in glove with your hated mr Box

Well he was qouting a comment about the bridge so you can understand my confusion.

Thanks for that one wakey

Looks 'all white' to me!

Thats because you wakey fans cannot appreciate art like we can

Quote ="ambernotyeller"And dont forget the pile of pils crates left over from a night on Wesgate that they dumped in Cas , and had the cheek to call it a work of art.

Yes those are the ones I know had been built by Councils.Doncasters' is council built also and Huddersfields ground is 40% owned by Kirkess Council.There are a few football ones like Colchester Community stadium as well as others.I was reading that York Council are wanting to build a Community stadium for the football and rugby club also.

Any chance the council are fed up of buying belle vue back and giving it to you only for those in charge to cock it up again, mebbe they want to give someone else a bit for a change

Why don't you respond the the question instead of making sly remarks? i'm getting tired of reading the same old lines from the same old posters.

Tried that a way back down the line but got nothing but abuse from your younger end , fire with fire I suppose.

But yes it was a sly dig and I wont do it anymore
