Stadium Statement

Quote: underground "In the hope of adding intelligently to the dabate... I did a bit of loose research (findings are rounded up or down as appropriate) on the distance from wakefield to a number of potential groundshare options for Trinity (I have take the centre of Wakefield as the start point for the research!)

It shows some interesting thingsBradford Bulls our fans would have to travel 14.5 miles to a home game

To share with Leeds Rhinos our fans would have to travel 13.5 miles to each home game

To share with Huddersfield Giants our fans would have to travel 11.5 miles to each home game

To share with Castleford Tigers at Glasshoughton our fans would have to travel between 9 and 12 miles (the most direct route is on very small roadways and takes you through Newmarket!!) to each home game

To share with Barnsley our fans would have to travel 9 miles to each home game

To play our home games as guests of Leeds United our fans would have to travel 8 miles to every home game

Mount Pleasant (Batley) is 7.5 miles, Crown Flatt at Dewsbury is 7 miles and the South Leeds Staduim of Hunslet is just 6 Miles

The stadium proposed at Newmarket is 4 miles out of town

no conclusions just some data....'"

What are the capacities of the stadiums. Bare in mind that we need 12k for 1 franchise point and no more than about 14k if our current crowds are to be no less than 40% of the capacity for another franchise point.
