I’m an optimist and a dreamer and hope good will happen and we get what we were promised (or near enough)

Which stadihm trust wax that then?

The only Trust, has the other ever been registered? Got told they’ve looked at Balne Lane and it could be done, also the site could have just been thrown in the stadium pot to muddy the water but will support it if genuine. Sir Rodney Walker said it’s the most positive he’s been on stadium progress so it must be a goer.

WTF it got to do with him?

You’ve heard an awful lot over the years that hasn’t happened. Add this one to the list.

Haven’t we all.
The Rodney Walker statement was in the express a few months ago wasn’t it? got told the trust had been up to the site a month or so ago and said it was possible.

Then they are being badly advised again.

Which trust, the genuine Community trust or Rodney's own "ghost" trust? If Rodders suggested it was possible then write it off now, the blokes a snidey !

I think Walker needs to realise that his freedom of the City title that was granted to him by Box, doesn't give him the right to cheat, lie to and shaft the Wakefield public. He thinks we are all peasants living in his own little manor.

"Lover" the word I used was only four letters! Bloody predictive text!

You are Peter Box and I claim my £5

As I, and others (including MC and CB) have previously stated, Balne lane fields are a total non-starter purely from an access and parking point of view. It is just another red herring thrown in by Box to try and make it look as though the council are still trying to fulfil their legal obligations
If you live local enough then go down there yourself and take a look....the only access road is along Balne Lane either from the city side through the single-file railway bridge or the other direction through Flanshaw and Peacock housing estates with the latter being the only place where people could park on match days

From looking at a satellite view, isn't there a more fundamental problem? There doesn't seem to be any way to access the field for the sort of vehicles required for stadium construction. And you can bet your bottom dollar that the developer of the new housing complex, or the homeowners who have just forked out for a house overlooking fields but with close city centre links, will keep it tied up in planning for eons.


The only viable short-term solution, and we need it now, is Belle Vue.

You’re right with Belle Vue, a betting man would say that’s what will happen just not the deal we wanted.
