Not much smaller than our stadium. And were suppose to be A grade material.

YAWN off you completete know nothing. Plenty of developers have cash and there is never a better time to invest than in a recession.
I honestly can't make out if your stupidity is a rather tedious act with it's ludicrous OTT statements or your for real. Do I care, probably not

Fecking hell, that's almost reasonable.

You sound like a sales rep for some building company.
I will be amazed if any developers have the money to splurge on a risky investment like Wakefield -- especially when Castleford will have a gleaming new stadium so close by.
It will be like pouring scarce money down a rathole, since Wakefield don't have the local paying fan base that a more prosperous community like Warrington has.

Jeez Albert, I’m surprised you can still type, with all your tears running into the keyboard.
Just be pleased for us, just for once .

| Good news for Wakefield.
My only hope (and this isn't a slight at Wakey) is that the place doesn't just become a clone of plenty of other new grounds that are cropping up in all sports, not just RL, although I suspect that it will - cost is the ultimate factor in all of this.
Places like the Halliwell Jones, the JJB, Halton all offer the sort of facilities that we expect but they all look a bit, well, uninspiring. Sports venues as supposed to be places of passion, places of ambition and success. They should have a character.
The aforementioned three just look to me as if they have been designed by an accountant with nothing more than an IKEA catalogue for inspiration. Compare those with the designs at Castleford or Salford (if they ever come off) or the new development at Leicester. You can have a modern, state-of-the-art venue and still have somewhere that looks unique.

If it gets us an A Grade Franchise i for one won't care if it is a HJ, our design when we were planning the park project was of a similar design to Doncasters, but as long as it maintains (and expands) our brand then i don't care.
The other developments in the area that have come from this company are hardly what you would call influenced by ikea.

Can't help it i'm going to bite the worm on the hook!
You know nothing! Sir Rodney Walker is one of the most respected men to be connected with our sport in living memory. He has more involvement within the political workings of sporting representation and development than anyone else in our game. Look at his profile, look at the councils he sits on, the projects he has spearheaded.
No-one in RL is better equipped to lead and fund this project, corporate fundraising is what Mr Walker is WORLD FAMOUS for..
The developers are sound too, they have other developments around our area and they are very impressive.
Watch this space. In fact scratch that. WATCH THIS TEAM!!!

| Taking away Albert's usual bollox - the message couldn't be simpler. Plans are easy - now go and build the bloody thing. Having witnessed Halifax trying to complete a stand for the last 10 years I know how frustraring things can get. The stadium back slapping for Wakefield, Castleford and Salford should begin when the contractors sign off on a completed stadium.
Good luck - hope this turns into reality.
