Part of me wonders if they even want sport in the Wakefield District at all, to be honest - unless it's privatized. Closing of pay as you play council run sport and golf courses, fishing, tennis courts etc. I know this is part of the budget cuts, but with the community stadium fiasco aswell as the loss of the districts other sporting teams over the years - it makes you wonder.

But if it's the best way to secure a stadium, you do it, because the best way is the best way. Why would you adopt a way that is less likely to achieve what you want?

It's also noting that even if it was exclusively ours, we'd probably let Wakefield United play there anyway. If you'd watched the Saints game on Friday, you'll have noticed football markings. Football teams have used Belle Vue before. It really is a non-point.

Ok slug fair point

No offence, but you are talking out of the thing you sit on.
The "Community Stadium" is exactly that. There would be other facilities there that can be used by everyone - your blinkered view of "It should belong to Wakefield Trinity" is short sighted and quite frankly - embarassing.
It would also generate revenue streams from all the facilities at the stadium site and may generate further interest in our proud club with further fans coming through the gate.

I have to say, apart from signing the petition, going to one hearing and talking about it here I have done nothing to help.
Can I still go watch Trinity if they eventually get this stadium?

I'm assuming you have been much more active than me considering you are designated bouncer for anyone else wanting to use it?

No one just steps in. The stadium will be run by the Trustees. Any other sports organisation, private functions etc, would pay the stadium trust for use of the stadium and it’s facilities. The revenue this could generate may be sizeable, and it may well be the reason SRW wants to set up a rival trust. Sometimes the £ signs bring in a lot of undesirable attention.

Again you fail to grasp what's happened whilst spouting about an issue you clearly have no knowledge of - the Trust is nothing to do with Wakefield Trinity and it hasn't been around for 15 years. One of the Trusts most acting and long serving members Johnathon Stone isn't a Wakefield Trinity fan, not sure but may not even originate from Wakefield. He like numerous others who have supported the campaign has no affiliation with Trinity, some don't even have a connection with RL.

The trust is there to get a COMMUNITY stadium and other facilities for all WMDC. Trinity's involvement is that they ill be the anchor tenant, without Trinity there is no reason to build the stadium element of the build, that is why MC gets involved but he isn't the driving force he's just part of the greater scheme. Of course the club is heavily involved in the consultation but the Trust calls the shots politically.

Anyway how do you know Wakefield United which I'm guessing is what used to be Emley FC have not been lobbying on the stadiums behalf? Sheer numbers means Trinity get all the headlines but loads have supported the deal. I'm sure they will be delighted by your petty insular mentality.

Get real.

Wakefield United is a new Club formed in December 2018 they're getting ready for the 2019/20 season. Therefore they couldn't help up to now I guess. https://wakefieldunited.co.uk/welcome/

I've got a funny feeling they are being set up specifically if you get my drift.

https://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news ... -1-9622333 Working closely with the council eh? Sadly I don't think that means they will move one jot towards funding the community stadium which would've meant they got the planning they crave last week. The fact they've not appealed it yet shows they don't fancy this been dragged through court despite theirs and WMDC's protestations that the Kitwave development should be a stand alone application. It clearly isn't. Pay up or F off.
