When I posted this last week about a community stadium being anywhere in the borough and it being for any club not necessary Wakefield Trinity, it was seized upon as a go at Wakefield Trinity. My point was WMDC may build a community stadium without Trinity being anchor tenants, thus getting them out of any issues concerning Newmarket.

My post about a ground share being a different issue entirely but I still worry that the RFL are keeping quiet and are not helping Wakefield. Lets hope they are behind the scenes and all will come good.

Unless you are talking about 2 "H's" and a park bench, there is more chance of it raining £10 notes.

Aside from Cas and Wakeifeld, who would play at a purpose built 12,000 capacity stadium in Wakefield ??
And for this reason, you still appear to be trolling.

The bullsh** in the Wakefield Express a few weeks ago about "building a ground anyway", really was the biggest mickey take ever and the people responsible for giving that to the press aren't fit to run a playgroup, never mind a district council.

Is there any coincidence with the community work that has recently been happening in Barnsley.

Oakwell is a decent stadium but maybe too far away I feel

I think Barnsley would be a good choice ,nice ground ,reasonable distance and a chance to get away from mr box wmdc and our new landlord do for me.

Also when I worked in Barnsley many years ago a few of the Barnsley lads used to watch Wakefield and some of them to get on about the great trinity side of the 1960s so we could get a bit of local interest if we did play there.

We've also been doing community work in Doncaster schools.

Obviously, I don't know the ins and outs and finer details of everything that's going on atm, but if we are well and truly done in Wakefield and our next best bet for next year is Dewsbury or Feath. I think to keep our SL licence and this team together long term those places currently don't offer that imo.
If it was any way financially viable and the BFC owners are up for it, Barnsley is probably our best hope of a SL future imo at least for the next few years. For those in charge, things like naming rights of the stadium, sponsorship and what deal we get on drinks & food on matchday etc, will be affected anywhere we go. Plus would we have to change our name if it was for the foreseeable future?

Trying to be slightly positive about it, maybe any lost fans that may not fancy the trip over, might be taken up by locals gradually, especially if we're playing good RL near the top of the League.

Ateotd though who knows. It's absolutely sickening as a fan and I know we all feel the same. We finally can see things starting to come together on & off the pitch and the Clubs being run in a sensible sustainable way for once & we've got this constantly in the background hanging over our heads. Generally, it's the other way around.

When Barnsley was on the cards a few seasons back wasn't the cost far too high to make it viable?

Compared to the amount 88m are asking it must be a viable option !

The issue though is not just a ground is it? Newmarket was agreed to take out Greenbelt land for Industrial use provided a stadium and other community facilities were built. Just day BV was developed what happens about the other facilities. A lot of money sloshing about here and no one in authority seems to have grip from what I have seen reported it's always someone else's issue!

I believe the Barnsley option has been looked at before and ruled out due to costs. Oakwell ain't the crappy little stadium that it used to be when we last played there; it's now football Premier League standard and therefore not a viable option for us.
