| Quote: Wakefield City "I think Balne Lane fields would be a good location walking distance from City centre parking train/bus station. Access? don't see the problem I've been to plenty of football and RL grounds that have less access the actual site is bigger than you think. Got told last night there's a council meeting next week or week after about stadium.'"
It’s a huge site, but the access makes it a complete non starter, it’s only wide enough for one lane under the railway bridge for petes sake!
I’m sure you have been to other grounds with less access, but how long have they been there?

| All issues can be overcome, ie traffic management etc. The only thing that can't be overcome is the lack of interest of WMDC. If they wanted the Stadium to go forward then it would have done before now , this is only another red herring to delay and delay and hope we wither and MC and CB loose patience and give up.

It's just a rumour set about by the OP, who admits he had too much time on his hands, then expanded on here by others not wanting to be outdone.

| There's plenty of great sites for a stadium in and around Wakefield, the problem seems more financial and political rather than avaialbility of suitable sites

| A full council meeting is going to achieve nothing, again. This is deja vu. The club should've gone to court when they had the chance.

| As was discussed earlier on this forum, total none starter. That’s not to say sound bites won’t emerge to make it sound possible but it will absolutely not happen. I believe the next meeting is another punt towards the long grass type of affair. I’d like to see a club point of view if the July deadline for info passes though.
