Weren't a lot in favour if the proposed site we had in Ossett a few years back.

Not really that far away from there to Owl Lane.

By the way, in the way of mentioning taxis to and from games, it's something like £4.70 for a West Yorkshire day ticket with Arriva.

Obviously there is a saving in rent bey owning your ground but, has this helped very much ? and are there any debts, loans etc secured against it, which will reduce it's net worth.

Best location Balne Lane Central Wakefield.

Up the Trin

Thornes Park would still be good and with the athletics track already there, it could become a focal point for sporting excellence in the city ?

Balne Lane is probably the worst of all locations, with horrendus access issues (apart from proximity to town centre).
It will make getting out of the Salford ground look like a fun day out

It would be handy for me though

Unfortunately it looks like Balne Lane has gone quiet so was probably (as said by many on here) a slowing down muddy the water tactic by our inept council. Location wise though I thought it was as brilliant, walking distance for many and plenty of parking in City centre + bus and train station near by increasing footfall in our wonderful city on a Sunday afternoon Fri night which would fit into City Centre development strategy, increasing usage of City centre which many councils are implementing. Unfortunately our council are that backward it won’t happen, can still dream though.

I like a beer or five Jinjer, thus I travel on two buses to and from the game. Obviously that you are not prepared to do. As for out of the city , Dewsbury’s ground is about 100 metres outside the boundary.
I actually always thought Normanton area a good location for the ground.
I would travel there, rather than not go to games.
You certainly are not going to please everyone wherever, if ever, we relocate.

Not with the Wakefield & District Community Trust!

An hour and ten minutes minimum each way on public transport according to Google, rising to one hour 30 mins. If you don't mind those type of journeys that's up to you TRUE supporters. I for one can't imagine doing that.

It's nothing to do with selfishness. The people of Wakefield support the team that represents their city. If it is no longer in that city, it is no longer their team. Even worse, it would be playing as the secondary tenant in a stadium built for a team from a different town, actually in that town. A point comes when it is just a name and a limited company, not a team that represents the city of Wakefield.

Can you imagine explaining that to casual observers?
Where do you play?
Dewsbury.
I thought there was already a team in Dewsbury?
There is.
But you're different?
Yes.
Why?
Because we're from Wakefield.
But you're no longer from Wakefield?
No. We're in Dewsbury.
Why?
The people who run Wakefield didn't want us.
And you're still a Wakefield team?
Not anymore.

I can get there that quick!

Yep, thought the same myself, 46 stops in all.
