Is the announcement (hinted at by TRB) coming this week?? Friday now.

As far as i know it's still set for today.

The Express covers a little of the announcement today on page 3.

Come on then spill the beans - I won't get to see a WE till tonight

Visit the SWAG site for a brief summary.

Facilities sound excellent, just what Wakefield need.

Very big boost to the project IMO, and gives it genuine community status, rather than appearing to be something that's just been engineered for our needs alone. Excellent news, and a very significant step.

You'd be mad NOT to want this on you're doorstep , surely!

Can someone put the details up on here as I can't seem to get on to the swag site and don't live in wakey so can't get the express

Thanks

Here you go buddy....

Further details of the services on offer at the new Community Stadium were announced today in a press conference held in the lecture theatre at Wakefield College’s Thornes Park Campus by the Wakefield & District Community Trust.

The Trust revealed that in addition to the stadium, a proposed two storey Educational and Elite Performance Centre together with indoor and outdoor training amenities are set to be situated at the site. A four court sports hall, a fitness gym, a medical treatment room, several class rooms, a restaurant and a massage suite are all proposed to be incorporated into the Centre.

Adjacent to the Centre will be an indoor training building which will house a full size pitch suitable for Rugby and Football. This structure will also feature three seven-a-side football pitches and a four lane 100m running track. Such a facility will prove to be invaluable in the winter months when many sports clubs suffered major disruptions due to the extreme weather conditions the country experienced earlier this year.

It is anticipated that this facility will be used by collages, local sports clubs and the health service, truly making this development one for the community.

nice one
