Heard on 5live this week, there is a huge possibility that fc Wimbledon could well get into blue square conference at the end of the season, 5 years after being formed, working there way up from the very very bottom of non league football, so why not Wakefield, if there's enough will it goes to show.
Anyone know the way to the San siro!!!! Come on wakey, whatever you play, there's a great stadium for you to play in, with no cas innit!!!

Where are these people coming from to watch Wakefield FC then? The ones who already go every other Saturday to watch Leeds, Huddersfield, both Sheffield clubs, Barnsley?

Apart from our friend wildycat here, does anyone else go support Ronnie Glavin's men?

I don't but I would think about going to watch them if I had spare time as the stadium would only be a short walk away

I watch Barns when i can and when the good games not in season, but thats exactly it the populace will have to be built up, the stadium will draw some and you build on it.
Since we got into SL how many people have come to check it out that have had little or no experience of RL, with a new stadium people will come to dip their toe. it's just a matter of hooking them, much like us when we move in!

wouldnt want the soccer club to get bigger than us though ala wigan

Im not sure I'd say the football team in wigan are bigger than us!

1: Our ground is not comfirmed in any way, in fact it's still behind Cas in that they do have some plans and outline planning. Why are so many people on here suddenly so sure when all the messages from the Trust, the developer and the club are hopefull but nothing like definate. Cas fans have set them selves up for a fall, why do the same?

2: It has everything to do with the Council other than direct funding, where do you get these idead from

3: Yes you are correct about that - Richard Wright and the Cas BOD saw the Stadium/Franchise as a way of exterminating Wakefield as opposition and that mentallity goes right back to the start of SL.

I have no wish to lose Cas or there fans ora guaranteed 4 points a season. However to see them well below us and when it finally dawns on the Cas public to see Wright and his low life mates chased out of town will be a joy.

I can't tell you how dispicable the behaviour of Cas has been to Wakefield and Fev through the years, for a while some of them really felt they were the master race.

Aside from a couple of hundred people rattling around in a shiny new stadium, what is in it for them?

There seemed to be some breakdown in the relationship between the two sides in the Wakefield-Emley days, so I really don't see this as anything other than a non-starter.

Where they can attract passing trade, of sorts, in the city centre, the same cannot be said if they moved out to the new stadium.

I'am with you Sandle cat, their is no reason why we couldn't have a good football side putting Wakefield on the map too, last year we was getting about 60 people on average but this year we had 150, hopefully we hope to increase the crowed every year,I only started watching them last year, a great bunch of lads the fans and we are as loud and proud after all we are all Wakefield fans, I loved it on weekend when the Wildcats and The Bears both won makes me proud to be from Wakefield.

It works for AC and Inter Milan.

It is still a short walk away now lol

Exactly aslong as we get a ground I don't give 2 hoots about Cas tbh
