Just as a point of note I keep seeing people saying that music concerts could be held at the new stadium. It was an enviromental health stipulation of the planning permision that this would not be allowed so that is a non-starter.

It seems completely and utterly idiotic that anyone would agree Planning permission for a stadium with a stipulation that you can't hold concerts there... especially a community stadium.... unless of course WMDC never had any intention of seeing it built.

Having a massive white box there doesn't seem very good for the environment

You can say that again. You can probably see it from Hull!

The Russians can see it from the space station.

It must be a very environmentally friendly white box, I would imagine the locals would prefer the odd concert.

No, I don't !!! Don't you think that Castleford have got enough with that giant fun fair they call Xscape??
Wakefield, remember, is the LEAD city within the Wakefield MDC area not a small town with a flour mill by the river.

I believe Wakefield bus sation is actually owned by Arriva. Cas, Ossett and Ponte bus stations are owned by Metro (Combined Authority)

I believe you are correct. Maybe due to being built on the site of the former Savile Street Bus Depot owned by West Riding originally.

I'd love to discuss the success of the xscape and the Hepworth gallery along with Trinity walk and the ridings but I think your obvious bitterness towards the Cas council might have already tainted your reasoning, you like all Wakey fans want a new ground but surely you should base an argument for that on it's own merits and not on a swimming pool designed for the public use of the people of Wakefield and outlying districts.
