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. Thanks for that one wakey'" stupid bloody picture didnt load linky if you want a giggle www.youtube.com/watch?v=_80nrrDPQXs [urlhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_80nrrDPQXs[/url

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
