Has wakefield always been like that?

I watched this sporting life and it didn't look anything like it.

looks like a bunch of flates at one end of the pitch.

Sorry about the salford part btw.

It was put up about 10 years ago, when we got back into the top flight. Not flats, but does get called that.

Thanks, I've seen a few games lately (lol not salford games) and it looks like the guys in the "flats" have the best view and the best ticket in town.

That ground in the movie looked like it could hold 40,000, how much has it changed?

So the Salford thing has gone, *I should change the title*, it'd be like you guys comparing Belmore the Cumberland.

Forgetting that though.

Has wakefield got a latent support, growing up in aus I heard of the two hull sides, wigan, Leeds, and Bradford, but wakefield was always mentioned in the background, has the club got support there that is dormant and will it come out with a new ground?

edit, widnes was always a big name too.

We would like to think so if we can get them out of the locals Pubs & with a NEW stadium on its way we will have a lovely new ground just like Wigan & Hull FC & Hudds

Good luck mate, I hope it all works out.

Would you consider them a sleeping giant of RL?

You can stand on the balcony with a beer and watch the rest of the stadium crumbling away in front of yer eyes.

lol fair dinkum



I wasn't thinking of that, I was thinking about the away team punting fooballs through my windows every 5 mins for a conversion.

(joking)

True sadly, but you can hear the players thunder past, hear every tackle and smell the blood sweat and tears (yes even above the old toilets) the old girls past it but will be sadly missed by many.

Oh and the beers flat too.

You could say that really,Wakefield of the 1960's were the St helens/Leeds/Wigan of this day,& hopefully will again, A lot of fans do forget over here what there stadiums were like before there got there new ones but where thick skinned at wakey especially after what we've been through these last couple of years.

Would you have got big crowds then? Do the 'flats' generate a lot of revenue?

Exellent stuff, i look forward to seeing the club rise.

But I have to mention the last two posts.

spooneryork you're a funny merkin and the tears rolling out down my cheeks are geniuine




And BIGAL1, you made me feel so sad, all of a sudden I'm laughing my head off, and then you come along and bring me back to earth, you make the place sound like a bigger hole than spooneryork was joking about
