It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.:1157.jpg



I see you still struggle with the reasoned response, falling back into mocking and points scoring again.

5/10 I expect better from you. See me after school...

Barnsley or Doncaster for Wakefield 2012 season? Talking to both about groundshare.

In which case, you're clearly either too emotionally (professionally?) invested in the topic to take any notice of anything that anyone else contributes, or you can't read.

I've stated my belief that the latent support simply is not there for the Wakefield club irrespective of where it plays, based on its inability to pull a crowd of 10k for even one-off games, never mind 13 times a season.

This IMO isn't helped by having plenty of local competition for the leisure pound even amongst rugby league fans, with two SL clubs (Leeds and Castleford) and one successful non-SL side (Featherstone) eating into its potential supporter base.

Come on Frosties mate, that is old news now! icon_wink.gif

They might be at one of those places this season now as well... now the ownership of Belle Vue is known!

To be fair Andy, the above is a reasonable argument but it was not as clear in previous posts as you have made it above. I still disagree that this would stop Wakefield doing what Warrington did and put a good 4k average on their gates for the reasons I state.

I am obviously emotional involved now but I had this opinion prior to getting involved with Newmarket and if you do a search I am sure you will find me saying something similar about potential increase in gates in much early posts about Wakefield.

To be fair only time will tell now!

Also, they have in most SL seasons managed to pull a 10k plus gate at Belle Vue against either Cas or Leeds and they were just short of 10k when we visited in February or March last year... not bad for Belle Vue in the cold!

Well it is not the club... do you want some more clues or is that enough for a guess? icon_wink.gif

Oh, it is not Wakefield MDC either...

It's Terry O'Connor isn't it. I knew it. He's steadily taking over rugby league. First a takeover of Widnes, you really need to do more than just change your first name to get away with that Terry lad, and now he owns Belle Vue. He's Rugby Leagues' Rupert Murdoch.
