It's just the news we've been waiting for, ticks all the boxes as far as most Wakefield fans's expectations are concerned, I imagine, especially the fact that it's still within the boundaries of what we all consider to be Wakey.

What makes me wonder is the statements made by the developers and Sir Rodderz on the part of the Community Trust. How big is the district/community the stadium intends to serve? Does it extend eastwards as well?

We all understand that post mate we really do.

1 No backbone Box and the gang, lets take a walk in the park

2 Sir Rodney and the gang, who i don't know to have a beer with but i gather he won't start something he can't finish and IMO thats why this as been ongoing behind the scenes for so long. I doubt he'll have left anything to chance and Planing permission will be nailed on.
I will be relieved to see the ground up and running and we've had false dawns before BUT this is deal or no deal

Anybody know who the main contractor is?

Excellent news sounds promising. Really hope it comes off at least we have hope again.

Great to see that Sir Rodney Walker is in charge, this guy`s an achiever with a great track record. He oversaw the development of Leicester City`s girly game Walker`s Stadium and they`re now on the verge of promotion to the Championship. Have faith, he will deliver!

WELL DESERVED.

Good luck in the coming months ahead.

There are going to be a lot of empty seats in your 12,000 stadium (from when I have visited).

Also, from the Sky Sports article, i didn't realise Wakefild had a university

Beleive me I Know how bad it is at the moment but some of the stiff collared SMC appointees will have to see sense eventualy.

Leigh were told that the gym at the Hilton Park ground would be available to them for some considerable time. Unfortunately when they tried to use it someone had demolished it. That left the club with nowhere to train unless they pay to use what is essentialy their own stadium.

Why, surely it's commom sense that attendances increase by a few thousand when a new stadium is built, due to it being under cover and generally alot nicer!
