it is great but we will still get some numpties who want to knock us, our stadium is pants so we are getting a new one then it will be our support is poor but the new stadium and the way the team is going it will bring a few more in, but some idiots will still find something else

they averaged 6,962 last season

with our grew ground our attendences grew 40%, and think Wire had a similar increase.

if the same happens at Wakefield i make that a 9746 average, so just under 10k

i feel 14/15k would have been more ambitious, particularly with possible large away followings from the Yorkshire clubs...but anythings better than Belle Vue, so good luck to them.

Really not working out for you is it you sad little troll. 12,000 is adequate for starters and would actually be adequate for most HULL FC games. All modern stadia can be up sized as and when, and when we need it we will. If we start to regularly draw 10,000 plus gates I'll be more than happy and RL will have another 5 figure club.

Now crawl back under your stone.

our lowest crowd this season was 12,482 against Catalan, and our current average is 15,900 so it woulden't be adequate.

All good news for the game.

If wakefield had come out with plans for a 25000 stadium, people wouls say its pathetic, they'll never fill it etc. NOw they have proposed a realistic 12000, they are still getting stick.

i know why you have hit back and it quite remarkable to see such a high figure , but lets get back at the point in hand 12k is a comfortable figure for wakey . lets not forget that if you have the facilities and capicity you get the franchise points but if your average attendance is lower than (**%) can not remember then you lose a point .

its remarkable that 1 hull fan in particular mocks us for well thought out and proportioned plans , yet is one of the Belle Vue crap hole gang

anyway like its still got to be built but then again the club hardly battered an eyelid when the stadium was knocked back so perhaps teds been sitting on plan b for quite a while and in the process got the plight of the club in the media.

this could end up being one of the biggest success stories the history of SL

Accepted, but it was to start with?

However I'd always accept we are a smaller club than Hull anyway. 12,000 is more than enough for us and this site is plenty big enough to expand.

Don't worry, there isn't a good-news story in the whole of the rugby league world that won't be knocked or sneered at by some sad twa[size.[/sizet.

God luck, I look forward to going there, and I hope someday it will need extending.

Vasty,

Wakie v Hudds in the 2011 final playoff eliminator will attract more than 12,000. Congrats on the great news.

I would say the mark of a small club would be having to rent a stadium because they cant afford to build one or being bailed out by another club. Just like Hull

Has anyone here heard of the global recession?

Is the stadium going to be funded by government stimulus spending funds?
It is hard to imagine a private consortium sticking its neck out in these times of tight credit.

If not government funded, which decade do you think it might get started? Last time I checked, the decision on 2012 SL licenses is to be made in early 2011.
