I recall back in the 60s such Wakefield shops as Clayton's newsagents and others used to have big Trinity related displays in their window from time to time.
I've said it before, but wouldn't it be nice if our "friends" at WMDC erected big signs at each road entrance to the city thus
Good post.

I don't think that wearing rugby merchandise 24/7 is anything to take as the norm. I generally try to look dapper when out shopping or going for an evening drink/meal, especially with the missus or mistress.

It IS Castleford I'm talking about Wollo. Amber and black is very prominent at all times. The most common suits in Cas are law suits.

| There aren’t even any directions for opposition fans to the ground. I noticed that there is one of the official brown directional signs to Wakefield Football Centre ,at Thornes,just one example. It appears we are totally insignificant to the Wakefield ‘powers that be’. Absolute disgrace.

| To say Wakefield is the biggest city in the UK not to have a Professional football team, it makes it even more embarrassing that the council fails to empower Trinity at all. Tbf you only have to walk around Wakefield up town for 20 minutes to see how the council has let our once decent city Centre turn into a mixture of despot pubs and vape shops, so who am I kidding into thinking they’d actually wanna push the Trinity brand at all.

I was in town yesterday I fully agree with you I did have a chuckle to myself that the City was disappointed not to make the cut for the City of culture. I just cannot imagine why!
Wakefield City Centre is a shadow of its former self, no proper market lack of investment no Police Station in the centre it's a real shame really.

| Indeed - how the council thought we had a chance of City of Culture is laughable. Even the vibrant nightlife is a rubbish these days, only a handful of
bars worth going to. The City Centre is appalling, rough and decrepit. We didn't have a prayer.

Indeed
Its strange that when The Ridings opened, the whole city got a "lift" from it and while the same could be said to a lesser extent regarding Trinity Walk, the effect that the new "centre" has had on the rest of town has been devastating.
The precinct and Ridings are absolutely awful and the precinct should be the main area of the city but, has now turned into a shanty town of vagrants and poor quality market stalls, surrounded by once decent shops that alas are now closed down.

| And The Ridings centre is now up for sale again, according to this weeks Wakey Express....it would appear that the current owners are cutting their losses and off-loading quite a few of their shopping centres so it looks as though things are only going to get worse ![Sad icon_sad.gif](images/smilies//icon_sad.gif)

Wakefield city centre is terminal now, didn’t take long for Trinity walk to start following the same fate either. I’d rather go drinking in the Mos Eisley then 90% of the toilets up there. It’s really gutting to see

| Wakeys no differant to thousands of Town in the UK.
I do agree the total lack of investment s let the place dowb.
For me it started with the demolition of the market hall and market, it lost a major part of its identity.
WMdc had no place for a replacement and the small investment it made came far to late and needed a much higher rent from market traders.
One thing I have never understood is why any council can cry poor with new developments springing up all over the place Ll bringing in rates.

| At least they aiming for it, Wakefield BID seem to be doing more to promote the city and hopefully the new masterplan will make the place look less tired. My main concern about the council is they seem intent on filling any space with affordable housing rather than looking to commisson something that could generate wealth for the city.

| The problems for The City of Wakefield began with the creation of the MDC. The councillors are only interested in spending cash on and promoting the outlying areas thus keeping their votes and subsequent seats on the gravy train. Even the City of Culture entry was promoted as the Wakefield District rather than the City.
