Be nice to have something rather than nothing ! I'd love us to stay at BV but would also love to see something built at NM that's available to the community of Wakefield.

But don't we need to buy Belle Vue back before we can do anything with it??

I've been an advocate of staying at Belle Vue but only if the redevelopment is total rather than token.

If pushed on a location Id still go with Trevor Woodwards idea of the Pugney's area of Denby Dale Rd.

We could and should have been in the Pugney's area of Denby Dale road years' ago if it had not been for the action's of one man.

Paul Caddick?

Oh joy, another thread about a fictitious utopia.

The once chance has gone, due to incompetence of the highest order.

Everybody in favour of a new facility, has been shafted by a bunch of charlatans, but nobody can explain who

He certainly did not help at the time, the one I had in mind is a second hand car salesman.

Such a pity we cannot bring Judge Judy over, stick the "guilty" parties in front of her, she'd have it all sorted before the commercial break.

I remember the idea being banded around. along with YCCC proposed move down to the Denby Dale area. At the time I wasn't around Wakey so don't really know what happened.Care to expand mate?

From the outside looking in, it is hard not to feel that there has been a huge con-job on the rugby fans of Wakefield, and on the general public. The permission granted was obtained on the provision of a community sports stadium with the city's only professional sports team as the major tenant. For the stadium not to be built looks like a massive con-job. "Thanks for the permission. Now do one!"

I know other factors are involved that change things, but surely the position should be that if there is no stadium, the development ends. If the community stadium is provided at Belle Vue (my preference anyway), I can see how it can be justified, but with no sign of movement on that front it seems like the con-job is almost complete.

The frustrating thing is that there is no lack of will. People (and we know who they are) have put countless hours of their own time into this, and I don't know how they do it.

The answer seems simple enough: are the funds there or not to develop Belle Vue properly? If not, the permission for Newmarket should be withdrawn immediately. You never know, it might then suddenly appear. The community stadium envisaged wasn't a couple of training pitches, and the public inquiry didn't look at that meagre option.

It's frustrating when you see lower and non league football teams knocking stadiums up for fun. Look at fc United of Manchester playing in the league Wakefield FC were the other year and only formed a few years ago and they've managed to build a new stadium. One thing to be said the momentum to get a ground in Wakefield is gathering pace the way York court have shafted us has got people wanting stadium sorted. Let's do this.
