Oh I certainly understand- the council are being asked to loan money they now don't have. The company involved are being asked to spend money they don't have.
It matters not one jot what wakefield were "promised"
Lots of people were "promised" pensions they have never received.
austerity affects cash flow HTH.

Is austerity why the giants had to cancel the saints game as they couldn’t afford to hire some temporary stewards whilst the usual ones had all gone to Wembley with town?

Couldn't agree more and this is the ideal solution IMO, But it won't ever happen as both clubs are far too stubborn to go down that road.

How long have Wakey and Cas actually been talking about building a new stadium away from Belle Vue and Wheldon Road?
It seems like a hell of a long time to me despite not actually seeing anything happen except for more let downs and further delays etc etc

100% spot on. I reckon than rather losing a few hundred disgruntled fans incapable of accepting change, both clubs would get close to filling a 12k stadium. Think of the benefits to the area with staff needed for 22 match days rather than 11, the income from the associated facilities, the community opportunities......it makes perfect business sense which is an alien concept to some folk in RL circles.

Really, You clearly have no idea what this is about, in which case why embarrass yourself without you have no knowledge of the situation, or your simply showing your shudds bitterness towards all things Wakefield.HTH.

Getting a bit tired of hearing these ground share/merger comments again. Perhaps Leeds and Bradford could merge solving all of Bradford's problems. Salford could merge with just about anybody. Wigan and Saints, Warrington and Widnes, the two Hull clubs and hey presto plenty of room for Toronto, New York, Boston and anybody else..............Would you watch it?

Trinity (and indeed the people of Wakefield) just want what they are owed and what they were promised when the developer was granted planning permission on green belt land. I'm sure that many residents of Stanley, Newmarket and Altofts would have objected to the plans had they known the CUMMUNITY stadium was never going to come to fruition. I know I would. That great white box must be visible from outer space.

I cannot believe that people don't see the main injustice here ......the question everyone should be asking is ....

A developer has acquired prime land " what is the city of Wakefield getting in return "? simples!!!!!!

Hull pay about £1/2m a year in rent at the KCOM

Wow. That's a lot of rent....Harlequins charged us £215,000 PA for 13 home games and 1 cup tie, with other cup ties being charged at £20,000 a game....1/2 a mil for 15 or so games seems steep. Does that include match-day costs like stewards etc?

Leeds charged Leeds RU £760k for provision of "stadium facilities" in 2016. That figure includes charges for use of Leeds' ticket office, bar staff, turnstile operators etc etc as well as the underlying rent of Headingley and Kirkstall but it's not a cheap business to be renting a sports stadium. The difference between a peppercorn and "commercial rent" could be survival or bust for a club like Wakefield so it's understandable if this has become a stumbling block.

Leeds, Hull, Wigan, Huddersfield do all share their stadium with other sports clubs. Maybe if Bradford did too they’d be in a better position financially. I don’t think anyone has suggested a merger, that is not the same as sharing a stadium.

Unfortunately, many RL fans are too small minded to see this question. This is now a matter far beyond just a new stadium for a minority sport, this is a question around the injustices and potentially illigeal dealings within local government which have allowed a developer to aquire greenbelt land and planning worth several million, with nothing returned to the local community
