| From a travelling supporters point of view Dewsbury is the best option. While its not in Wakefield its not far off.

It's not within the City of Wakefield
That's the definitive statement, it doesn't matter if it's 100 metres outside, its outside!
Normally, I'm all for being positive but I'm not going to be about this because I'm not prepared to dress this up as anything other than what it is.
A scandal and a tragedy
Shameful that we've come to this!

| I wonder how Dewsbury fans will take the news and if the dreaded "M" word will be discussed? Location wise it does seem the best alternative option and it would be nice if they could increase the capacity. I certainly wouldn't have a problem visiting it next year. Can't remember the last time I went, does any one know what the parking availability is there.

I totally agree. I just think its the best alternative.
It's all very sad.

I think the 2 mile walk there would put some off that. They'd probably just stay in the pub!

| WF12 post code and the best option by a mile. I agree about the way things have gone but I would much rather be at Dews than Batley, Feath, Cas or Barnsley. With regards to the ground it could be that Kirklees council will welcome the move and offer assistance. Its a tidy set up at Dewsbury and in a good area
Its a crying shame that its come to the stage that because of total poor management over the years we are in the situation we are but we are and I would rather see it as a new start.
It could just prove to be the making of our club rather than the final nail in the coffin. The truth is we don't know .

| Short term I wouldn't mind. I just feel that would be the beginning of the end, unless I heard some positive news regarding a long term home in the city, which is not on the horizon is it?

That it has come to this is a tragedy and many people are to blame but the intransigence of the Council when compared to many other Councils across the country is shameful.
No top class sporting representation in the City of Wakefield from next year!'"
If this council wanted top class sporting representation in the City they could have had it. Its not only the Newmarket farce but the
several other chances that proceeded Newmarket which have all been blown.
To me the location is perfect, just a couple of 100yds outside the boundary and therefore totally beyond the influence of Box .

The WF postcode is a complete red herring, the WF codes stretch out past Knottingley and beyond Birstall but they're not Wakefield.
For me this isn't about the best option which, if we're accepting the death of top flight Rugby League within Wakefield, might well be Dewsbury. It's about the above mentioned move to outside Wakefield which is a total scandal!
Those involved and culpable should be ashamed not only of this but of the barren sporting landscape that the City of Wakefield has become!

There is quite a sizeable car park at the ground plus plenty of on street parking nearby. They coped quite well when the Bulls came to town.

Forgot about that, they will have had some decent crowds this season with Bradford and Leigh so it can't be that bad.
