Wakefield-Emley and Wakefield FC are one and the same.

I think he was being purposely inflammatory!


Anyway cas have sold WR for all the tea in china, and are well on the way to securing their GH future, so won't need to come with the begging bowl and use our NM. Don't you know????






Oops, now I'm being purposely inflammatory!! Damn you Bren2K!!

Wakefield FC only rented down at College Grove therefore it's worth nothing to them. They've started building another hockey pitch on the old rugby/football.

All the more reason to bring WFC back to BV.
Then take them with when we move to Newmarket.

Forget Cas. After all the fuss over th years I'm actually now wishing the WDCT had pushed for some kind of 'RL monopoly' on NM. e.g Part of our 100 year tenancy would include an agreement no other (top flight, if nothing else) RL club could also play there.

This would go against the community stadium mentality, but would protect the independence of our club & the use of the city name.
CT have never taken NM seriously, they've made their beds, let them sleep in them!

Edited.

I suppose I was.

Having said that, I firmly believe that Cas will eventually have no choice but to ask to share NM; the chances of them getting GH off the ground within the franchise period are, imo, slim to none.

I quite agree, although I hope we are both wrong.
The reason I did the poll on both sites a few weeks back was based on that premise and the RFL invoking their new (beat wakey and cas!!) rule.
I think they are just starting to run into the problems we did, obviously tgre are similarities and differences with both plans, but I think they are now further behind than we may have thought, say six months since.
It seems the further you progress with these things the more problems you encounter and the longer things take, wether this will turn out to be a problem for cas, or wether they have an ace up their sleeves still who knows.
On balance we have yet to get our yes yet either, and I've given up trying to guess the outcome.............

Tweet from Mr Glover: "Peter Matthews from Wakefield FC has just spoken very well about the joint support for Newmarket. We in Wakefield all need to get behind it." https://twitter.com/#!/andrewGlover1 Wakefield FC now join us in JOINT support for Newmarket! Great news! I had always hoped they would join us, this is exactly what the city/stadium needs. A football team would be great for Wakefield and to have them at Newmarket makes the site even more viable in terms of footfall & economics, not to mention providing a brilliant stage to grow BOTH brands, both proudly sporting the city's name! As far as the future of WFC goes I hope they can enlist the help of SRW & build the brand.

So what happened at this meeting?

Is Wakefield FC now part of Newmarket was it stated that they will play out of Newmarket if it goes through?

I think initially it would be taking advantage of the potential training facilities on offer. Perhaps playing out of the stadium may be a little too much of a burden at this stage of their development, but if they ever made it to the football league then i'm sure they will come on board.

Reading some of the stuff a mate of mine who follows non-league football sent me about Wakefield FC, they'll be lucky to make it to next week, never mind the football league. The main problem seems to be a real lack of identity and a place to call their own. Article here, for anyone who's interested: www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=16323

That's how I understood it as well. Basically Wakefield FC were saying that they used to have 7 or 8 teams playing out of College Grove but now because the football pitch has gone at CC they've only got the first team left. If they can use Newmarket then they can re-start these teams. It all ties in with the Trinity community plan to get more people involved with sport.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they used the pitch with 1 stand to play the matches on.
