"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39793.jpg |

| I've just been reading Twitter.
Seems like they've spent more time speaking about Cas, GH and even WR at today's public inquiry. Apparently, one of their 'witnesses' was 'forced' to talk about WR and GH, openly stating high degree of uncertainty over WR for retail use and how they cannot consider that as planning hasn't been lodged and we have no funding.
Two faced? Why didn't they decline to comment as RW should have done? They have no place to be discussing our stadium plans like this. Surely they could have said "we are not in a position to comment about Cas's stadium plans but it is not built as of yet" but left it at that.
I expect a retraction from all Wakey fans...

Two points:
1. Maybe it was said because of RW's intervention; ie, RW created an issue that they were then forced to respond to.
2. It does nothing to prevent GH going ahead or speaks out against it. It does not in anyway try to object to GH. The PI is dealing with Newmarket. If there were pro-NM people saying those things at the GH planning committee meeting, I would agree, but they are not.

Why is it great news (avoiding the obvious point that you haven't been the "main" topic at the PI)? Wishing it will fail for what reason?

I think you'll find that your own Chairman created that situation, with his ill-considered and clumsy intervention into the process; he handed LCC's barrister an excuse to focus on the 'why don't you share at GH' argument, that our man was forced to rebut and by all accounts, he did so quite robustly.
Not sure how else he was meant to handle it to be honest Fully.

It was so silly I thought you were being facetious; he'd be professionally negligent not to rebut the points made by the LCC barrister.
I realise you're trying to liken it RW's intervention - even for you, that's clutching at straws.

| Always great news Slugger - Theres not such a thing as bad publicity.
I'm interested in the overall attention that RL (and in particular the amount of time CT have been discussed) in the PI. After all the stadium is only 5% of the overall build isn't it ? If so, its going to be a very long inquiry.

A popular misconception - there certainly is.

well, I'll let others finish that sentence off.

..........................................sent back to his own forum with half a dozen other fellow fans that seem to have a lack of understanding where there posts belong and where they are welcome.
This thread was started by a Wakefield fan, replied to by a Wakefield fan and has created far too many pages of pointless bickering and point scoring attempts to bother counting, it has now spread accross several threads upsetting several people and on one in particular poking fun/extracting the urine from a poster with a disability - sad/childish/pathetic/moronic call it what you please !
Being fair i must admit that the lack of topics on here in the off season has been as active as our recruitment so it has sparked some form of a response from people where not much was forth coming but how much more do we have to tolerate before saying its no longer worth bothering anymore ?
I dont mind fans discussing varied topic on each others boards even happy to see different opinions and views, that people are grown up enough to agree to disagree on. I enjoy a bit of light hearted banter with rivals and it would be a sad place if that was to be no more.
I wish Wakefield well with there stadium just as i hope ours comes to fruition too. I will never be happy after losing a game between us but would also be sad to no longer be in a position for that battle to take place in the first place.
I would never like to share a ground, be a Tinity Tiger, and would be more content in the national league than either option being a reality. I have no ambition to be a joint super league super power, my enjoyment comes from the struggle and the battle. winning the games you dont expect against the top teams and your biggest rivals whislt going through the ups and downs of being a CAS fan.
I feel RW should have declined to comment on any issue regarding the PI unless anything had or was having a negative effect on our club/position, at this point it is business - he did not 'start' this problem, he was asked a question and chose to give a factual 'Cas Bias' reply (did RW make any negative comment regarding NM) ! did you complain at anti Cas comments made by AG prior to franchise decisions - i doubt you gave those a second thought.
Time to move on and concentrate our efforts on keeping our own houses in order and looking forward to the season ahead with some of the best youngsters and one of the best players in the competition, if Wakefield fans have an issue take it up with the person who upset you - this almost makes you want to spend time on the Salford forum to cheer you up !

Well said sir - I totally agree; not sure it'll catch on mind, but one can hope.
