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

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!

Wasn’t just highlighting Dewsbury Slugger.
I mentioned that there would be those who would not be prepared to travel to Newmarket.
Someone posted that a location in the Ossett area had been floated in the past . More or less same distance as Owl Lane. Would they travel there even if within Wakefield boundaries?
Some people are just not prepared to accept change ,even when enforced.

I'm about a 7 minute walk from Belle Vue, I hope we can redevelop!

Could that be because if you'd had a few bevvies you couldn't hold it that long, and would have to get off the bus for a pee?

On Wakefield Express facebook oage that the talks on the new stadium are being kept secret!
