Anyone who knows that area realises that it's so unsuitable for that kind of development it's laughable that Box has even put this out in the public domain as some kind of development.

After listening to MC being interviewed on the Super League show (I think) a few weeks ago about some news to be released & him seeming positive, I honestly believed that there had been genuine progress made.

Well if I've been waiting for this announcement, more fool me & I'm sure a few others. I've tried to remain positive, but this is one bad joke too far.

Good location better than Belle Vue, close to City centre for parking, next to train station and walking distance from bus station, brilliant for us Wrenny lads just walk over the park and through Peacock. Surely the council can't mess up another Wakefield community stadium development.

Has anyone on here seen this weeks Cas & Pontefract Express front page out yesterday. WMDC £750 million earmarked for the "Towns" including a £27 million leisure centre. Says it all about what WMDC think about a £10 to £12 million Community Stadium for Wakefield.

The council should be spending on leisure centres for all the district they redeveloped sun lane a few years ago and have shut a few over that way so they should replace with new facilities. This is not about money distributed across different areas of the district it's about political will to get the community stadium that was promised and is owed to the City of Wakefield.

Up the Trin

Heard something along these lines the other week, and it wasn't from the chippy.

Not been round that area for a long time.

Location wise, in the vicinity to the city centre, it's quite a good location, but road network wise, as things are, this could be a problem.

Not saying too much though, until there is a statement by the club

Stadium news obviously a distraction then, to silence a "what about us" scenario.

Our illustrious council HAVE just developed a piece of land on the southern side of the city centre which has excellent access and transport links and on-street parking very close by along with several car parks, which is a more viable proposition than Balne Lane fields....it's called Wilkinson's roundabout

If the WMDC wanted it could build a fantastic sporting village at pugney. Its screaming out for development and would bring in thousands visiting the area.

Very interesting lamp
Pugneys does have the roads.

Is there sufficient land for a stadium and training pitches?

Could be more feasible than Balne Lane.

What is happening at Belle Vue now, let alone Newmarket?

Time for Box and his cronies to do something for this city instead of trying to make Cas into something more than it deserves. This is at the expense of where the majority of the districts citizens live.

Your point about IF WMDC wanted to build is absolutely bang on. We all know they could but the key thing is IF and as we have seen they seem to find many reasons why we can't.

The land around Pugneys is largely owned by Peel Holdings and is expensive to buy due to its location, access and desirability to multiple industries. Any stadium funding would have a huge hole put in it just to buy the land

Whats the score with the land at Newmarket, is planning etc still valid or, are we back to square 1.
