| Quote: McLaren_Field "...because when it all boils down, we are still a little parochial sport where self-interest over-rides the better interest of the sport, and some of those clubs are still run by wealthy local businessmen who forget their business heads when they take on clubs and instead use them as a play-thing, the "local" tag tends to mean that they bring all of their "not over my dead body" attitude to the table when ground-sharing is discussed.'"
Yep you're right. I can understand that attitude as an initial reaction, but I hoped that as people thought about the pros and cons of a ground share they might have seen the potential benefits, sadly not.
Even clubs with as much rivalry as Liverpool and Everton are seriously considering a ground share.

It could be quite funny given the hostility the idea received at the time!

getting to the Newmarjet site will be further but easier for people living on the west side of Wakefield (me).
Straight on the M1 at jtn40, M62 arrive at stadium.
Again for those living in Durkar, Kettlethorpe, Chapplethorpe, Thornes etc. They just jump on the M1 at jcn39.
It's a very easy, straight and uncomplicated journey with less stop start, navigating the shopping districts (Asda etc & Ings Rd).
Upon arriving drivers will face very few if any problems parking which is currently a nightmare at Belle Vue.
The power station site has been cleaned up and decontaminated. |

Leeds is one of the business capitals of the north.
Wakefiled is a pathetic excuse for a city. |

Because they re-evaluated their initial decision I guess.

No, you are thinking of Featherstone!
I think one or two people need to lay of Wakey a little bit. It has been a city far, far longer than Leeds and was of course the last and therefore most recent capital City of West Yorkshire, a title that Leeds has never officially held. Leeds is a great and successful phoenix of a City and owes large parts of it's rapid growth to it surrounding towns and nearest City neighbour of Wakefield! |
