| Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Looks good but I'll believe it when I see it. If it was built I just wonder how they are going to fill it though. Woeful Wakefield has a support base of less than 5,000 these days. Only visiting support in the local derby with a rampant Castleford or a powerful Leeds team, and maybe a successful Hull FC or Hull KR could ever hope to fill it.
I won't be coming all the way from Carcassonne, nor certainly from Bangkok where I am now, unless terrific Toulouse is playing there.'"
Are you talking merd again Jean ?
We all know that people stay away from BV because its a dump and we can still average 5/6000.
Therefore shiny new stadium = 10000 fans every game, simple maths really  |

In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're eating the cats! They're eating the pets!:18686.jpg |

| Quote: bramleyrhino "I think you could forgive anyone, Wakefield fan or otherwise, from taking a "I'll believe it when I'm stood in it" mentality. As the original poster said, this isn't the first "artists impression" for a Wakefield stadium we've all seen, but hopefully it's the last.
Good luck to Wakefield on the project, but I don't think anyone has a right to be offended if people think cynically about this announcement.'"
It's not the cynical comments that offend, jeez I'm off the scale when it comes to "New Wakefield Ground Mk 5?"
It has more to do with how posters own clubs acquired "state of the art" facilities. If I were in the lucky position of watching my team in a shiny stadium, the last thing I would do is deride another clubs hopes of having a similar facility nor add a caveat that "it's probably just a ruse to save their bacon". |

Will that now be the only Super League ground in Yorkshire where the opposition supporters wont be exposed to the elements?

Stand where you want at Cas. Hull and Huddersfield tend to stand under roof in princess street stand. |

They should just tell them that no matter what they will not be allowed to play in SL at their current unrenavated stadium in say 2020, then if it is not sorted by then they will either have to rent a ground or (if they cant even manage that) drop down to the championship
Same should go for Cas btw (joke that a professional ground isnt the full 100m long) |

Too right, because that's why people go matches, well, maybe some people.

Thank you for your input. You obviously haven't been taking notice of what has been said for a while now. Do try to keep up. |
