Altough I understand where you are coming from, equally, i'm sure that Mr Glover & Co would snap your hand off for a 10k average and some sell outs.
I think 15k would be planty for the short to medium term and if things do go to plan, then hopefully there woud be some way of adding a tier etc.

When that day comes, they'll just have to build a second tier!

I drive down newmarket lane everyday and still cant picture where the stadium will be, from the top entrance in stanley is it before or after you go under the motorway?

on the right hand side before the bridge, it will divert before the first few houses on a new road

Brilliant, ill look tonight on my drive home

do you want me to bob down and clear a few trees so you can get a better view

15K certainly isn’t a lack of ambition. Warrington are hardly selling out the HJ every week and I suspect there are only a few SL clubs who could push towards the 20K barrier regularly.

Besides, it’s not as if there is a choice on the matter. It all comes down to money and considering somebody else is footing the bill I doubt Trinity have much say on the matter. If the funding can be obtained it will be 15K, if not hen it will be 12K.

I stand to be corrected on this, but I believe it will be on the right hand side when travelling towards Methley, just where the old railway tracks go over the road.

Hi Khlav, I appreciate the finances aren't up to us and I (we) are very grateful for this.

I don't apologise for my ambition for our club. I know we are not in the 1960's anymore but we used to get crowds over 20k then. We are in a catchment area comparable to Wigan. Long term I think we can regain dizzy heights again. Having the infrastructure can't do any harm.

Every journey begins with one step.

Built and12,000 will do me for starts, and my seat on halfway.

Me again.
Yeah we do really have the potential and it really irritates me as one who remembers the late fifties and sixties to be referred to constantly as a little club.
People on the VT even talk about our small catchment area without doing any geographical research.
I hope I live long enough to see us be a big club again
Oh how I would gloat.
Yes I would sink to such low depths after all the pain I/we have endured.

Just realised you cannot really have low depths.
Time for a beer.

These are the outline planning drawings. The reserved matters drawings and layouts will probably change from these a little but the stadium complex will probably remain round and about where it is shown here.

I appreciate your ambition but your not right on this one IMHO.

We will never average 12k IMHO although we may attain it for two or three games a season. I seriously doubt we will ever hit 15k unless we had sustained and massive success. For me 12k is more than adequate for our needs and the possibility of 15k is useful even if unlikely.

Also historically Wakefield have not been a well supported club. In the 1950's and 1960's we very occasionally hit or got above the 20k mark - however in those days that was the same for most clubs. Generally as far as I'm aware throughout our history we have not been up there with the Wigan's and the Leeds for the bulk of the time - I'm sure someone out there knows better than me so I'm willing to be corrected if I'm wrong.

For me we will never be one of the clubs who can guarantee big gates and thus fund our success. We will need to operate as a medium sized club and make up for it by being cannier and more efficient than the rest. We'll do OK I reckon.
