When that ship sailed a long time ago it certainly was not because of Wakefield Council, even after YCCC had no option but to pull out because of legal implications the then leader of Wakefield Council Colin Croxall did his upmost to bring about a new stadium for Wakefield Trinity on Denby Dale Rd, only to be thwarted by a certain individual who shall remain nameless.

Is that the person with the large construction business that was not going to be awarded the building contract for that venture and that has a vested interest in a certain already establish county cricket RL & RU venue?

Well he was certainly 50% of the problem, but even so Councillor Croxall still tried his best to bring about a solution which were still available at the time, but his other option put personal finances first unfortunately


It was Colin's ambition to see them both playing on DD Road, and being a supporter of those clubs myself I can fully appreciate the disappointment he felt when it did not happen.

Busy week - much happening!

Sounds interesting/intriguing. Do you reckon there will be anything to report on Wednesday evening, or am I just reading too much into the smile!

Way too early. But after months of not a lot, this one has seen some movement of sorts. We keep going!

Couple of tweets today mentioning positive news re new ground. Castle Grove Park mentioned......intriguing.

Excuse my ignorance! But where is castle grove park?

I know it now ! Good old google maps. Can't see local residents being happy with that.

Opposite sandal cricket ground mate

Strange location !!! ,not for business opportunities !!!

Where about's is that mate?

Not a chance in hell, but I'm intrigued as to where you heard it?

Barnsley road,opposite Harrats,just past Busy corner portabella.

He's taking the pi$$

Nowhere near big enough, prone to terrible flooding, would create ridiculous tailbacks in both directions, local residents would not allow it without a lengthy fight, apart from that . . . .

Blooby hell,he's good at it

No bloody way at sandal ,not a chance!!

Over the road from Grove Park mate

Castle Grove Park would be a fantastic location if redeveloping Belle Vie is not possible!

Drove past many a time thinking it's a nice space for a stadium but it would bring up its own issues most already pointed out on this thread.

No I'm not! I knew about that ground just not who played on it, I would never have guessed that a club as posh as Sandal would play in such an undesirable area as Agbrigg or Belle Vue, no disrespect to the locals
