Souds like we are as far away from "The Holy Grail" of a new stadium as we have always been.

There's always plenty on here ready to give it some from a keyboard, looking like it's getting close to the "mobilising the troops" time again, I assume the hundreds that are angry/disappointed are ready to get off their ar ses and put the work in, we'll see eh?

We have a site, we have a 106 agreement that was at least intended to ensure we get a stadium - at least that's what the government inspector was expecting!

We have come a long way, but the trick is to push it that bit further!

Makes you laugh when a City the size of Wakefield has many many false hopes on numerous new stadium sites over the last 30 years but a town like Shorpe looks like getting a new stadium less than 30 years since their present stadia was built. Hopefully we will receive positive stadium news soon and we will get a decent stadium that will do the City proud

From the outside it looks like we've been stitched up. How can that happen when the Secretary of State has been involved in this process?

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the right question!

We do not accept that we have nothing though, and will use what we can to aid our cause!

I fear if the political will isn't there now then whatever we do we will be peeing into the wind. It will ultimately come down to what the protagonists are legally obliged to do, and whether the trust could threaten to take them to court and win. If the 106 gives them a route out they will take it and no amount of protests will change that, bar them having a massive guilt trip. And given they are doing what they are now tells me that ain't gunna happen. At a time when the council are cutting services left right and centre i fear the wider wakefield public would prefer any extra money to be spent on things like keeping the huge amount of children's centres they are having to close open rather than making sure we have a roof over our heads. I'm not sure that outside of the wakey fans there will be a great deal of support, whether the community facilities line is constantly peddled or not. I think most will feel there are bigger fish to fry and that could leave us exposed as we will need all the help we can get to have a chance. I really hope there is a rabbit to be pulled out of the hat and we get a positive result but i have a really bad feeling about this.

When casting your eyes around the internet it doesn't take long before you start shaking your head at WMDCs inability to get a stadium built in comparison to other smaller Town and City Councils.

Rotherham
Bristol
Oldham
Peterborough
Plymouth
Shorpe
Brentford
Darlington
Brighton

I'm afraid I agree - like it or not, Joe Public will see this as a new stadium for WTW and as a result, won't give two hoots about whether it gets built or not; half a dozen worthies spoke in favour at the hearing and I think most of them were connected to the club, or persuaded to speak by people connected to the club.

Without knowledge of what moves are planned by the Trust, it doesn't look good; if YCP have a) no desire to meet their obligations and b) no money anyway, it could be an impasse that lasts for years.

Oh come on Bren. You make it sound like we have nothing worth fighting for! We have other people who think otherwise and this is about a complete package, not just the stadium.

I'm not saying it's easy, far from it, but we need a little bit more fight than to just shrug our shoulders and accept the current position as being all we deserve! There are technical, political and moral arguments which suggest we should be receiving something for our pains. You yourself were aware of the connections involved and their reasonings for support - I don't think those reasons have altered one jot and I feel some responsibility to at least make my best endeavours to deliver what we planned!

There are many of us that have done our bit in supporting and helping the cause of a new stadium, but the realisation and the constant slow moving/lack of info being brought to the table speaks volumes to me.
Years and years of hoping and praying for a kickstart to the success of Wakefield Trinity gets more painful by every setback.
Good luck to all involved but I sadly fear the worst.......yet again.

York Court have a nice piece of land in the paragon business park that will be just right for a stadium and fairly near City centre tell Sir Rodney to tell them we want it there for messing us about. With YC owning half of Wakefield you'd think they wouldn't want to upset the council so hopefully we will get something I'm not giving up the fight or stopping believing.
