The Wakey express are useless, they've no idea what news actually is. Their website is just clickbait tosh and the majority of stuff they report has been broken days before in other sources.

As far back as I remember the Express have always been happy enough to print any possible negatives they could find. Are they not bothered with a minor "scandal" or are they in fear of what they might uncover? Heads in sand springs to mind.

It would appear that 90% of the content of these threads seems to concentrate on the fact that WMDC (spit) have let down about 4000 Trinity fans of which I am one, but surely the bigger picture is that THEY HAVE BADLY LET DOWN 326,000 other citizens. It was supposedly a COMMUNITY STADIUM for the use of all, and it is for this reason more than any other that this so-called council of ours have behaved disgracefully and should be ashamed of themselves whatever their party politics.

That's the thing, what we actually need it a full stadium with ample parking and 4G/hockey pitches surrounding it. Wakefield needs to establish a football team and a rugby union team as well as a successful rugby league club. We need all of the major sports in the city so young and old can engage and participate all sports

Absolutely

A stadium next to our City's successful athletes and gym club at thornes park same set up as Leigh sports village. Anyone mentioned thornes park before?

That would be the ideal place for a stadium and pitches, unfortunately that plan was ditched over a decade ago, and now we're left with a half-assed stadium miles from the city which probably isn't going to happen anyway

Someone mentioned Rugby Union team in the city. How about getting our heads together with Sandal.

As for hockey, wasnt the hockey team based around College Grove, though dont spend much time around there and dont think there is a lot of land round there.

College grove where Wakefield RUFC played, not much room but bet it's worth a few quid

Yes I thought that M62.

The land moving away from College Grove heading up North Avenue toward Pinderfields is quite vast.

There is also quite a bit of room around Sandal RUFC

Indeed, what we really need is a true multi-use and multi-sports facility from a community stadium, in all honesty, I don't think that's what Newmarket was offering. At the minute we have the support of ≈ 4000 RL fans, but if a new football club could be established in the city, as well as developing the RU clubs to make them push towards the top leagues then we'd see the support for a true stadium for the city increase ten fold. The city deserves sporting facilities and clubs of a quality to match the amazing arts facilities it has
