We may get a few Cas fans in having a nosey and seeing what it's like having to share with us

Word of mouth too? I'd imagine over 75% of your fanbase have access to the Internet or access the Trin website.

Aye, but most of them would prefer to creosote the garden fence than watch paint dry these days...

It may be a touch of marketing genious, of course - the crowd figures will provide the answer - but it seems to me to be a simple case of doing what's necessary when it's necessary. And fair play to the Wakey chairman for doing it.

one very important word you are forgetting and need to think about, Money


p.s. no need to call people names, show some class

I also think it will be an announcement to say we will plough ahead with NM and no to GH, i for one hope for this and as much as i love my club i would rather see it fight a brave death then end up playing in Cas. I would also like the same response from Cas, we need to stand and fight for our history, both our clubs have survived some real difficult times in recent years and this should just be another battle in the saga. Too much emphasis is on SL and it is wrong. We all want to expand the game but this should not be done if it is killing clubs. I will happily watch a Fev Wakey derby in the national leagues, rather that than sit in a black and amber stadium, just like i expect Cas fans to be their way, I love Wakefield Trinity first and RL second, no Wakey then my interest in the game would wane but i would probably watch more ama games as a result. Be strong peeps on both sides of the district and we may once get what i truly feel we both deserve. In the end we all want the same thing but we have idiots a plenty on both sides who just want to beat the other we really should be standing strong shoulder to shoulder rather than carrying on like this.

Respect to Fully on this thread.

Or the fact that before the end of the game whatever he has said will be all over this forum so save the £20 and tune into RLFANS...

Thinking about it this is one of the clubs better marketing ideas!

If your read the official statement about today's announcement it states that it is to confirm where the wildcats will be playing in 2012 when they leave Hearapindrop stadium. NM or GH won't be ready for the start of 2012 so I would suspect that today's announcement is the club will be playing at Barnsley of the 2012 season.

I heard a little whisper regarding the announcement last night. It seems that there still needs to be some negotiation regarding Belle Vue, with in effect it currently being 'owned by WT and the developer. I think I heard it correct, apparently there are several options regarding the 'split up' of the pitch :
The pitch is split along the half-way line, a preferred option to some as we seem to have been playing in our own half for most of the season.
The pitch is split 50/50 length-ways, an option favoured by Ted as it would result in only putting out 1/2 a team and we could then cut wage costs.
The whole playing area is reduced by 50%, one that JK prefers as he thinks that teams wouldn't be able to beat us on the outside (I'm not so sure about this).
A radical idea proposed by the players is that WT have the pitch for one half and the developers have it for the other, this idea seems to have some merit as the players have already been practising this .
The final option I heard him say was the London model, whereby the pitch is split diagonally 50/50, just like a Harlequin design; the main stumbling block being that the RFL wouldn't prop it up financially ala the original model.

We will just have to wait and see

To hope the statement is quite big as the words 'significant' and 'meaningful' are used in davides statement. So don't be too negative what is it with some wakey fans we are finnally getting some news and some of you are moaning the club cant win.

Thread edited.

Back to the stadium announcement, please.

Ta.

Top post! Posts like that are the reason i sift through 9 pages of trash.


Just heard about the anouncement (damn teletext is so slow these days) so thought i'd pop across to this board to see what the fuss is about. Quite a lot of crap to read through with not a lot to go on, so we'll just have to wait and see. Personally i read from the statement that you guys will find out where your home games will be next season, Saints have just sorted themselves out for next year similarly. I also imagine he may have a few words on WTWC hopes and plans for NM. However I would doubt there will be any fantastic news stating building will commence on monday. Anyway, good luck and i hope you get some positive news.

Cleaned up, if any adults wish to make a adult comment feel free, otherwise leave it be.

Anymore childish trolling and wind ups will cost you a week off.
