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!

Right, I must have misread your previous post, sorry for that.

Is there a picture of Peter Box with a cat on his knee, Bond-villain style? That kind of secret?

I am not too far away from Belle Vue, so I would also rather we re developed Belle Vue and stayed put.

Also, I liked the idea what was mentioned earlier, regarding developing the athletics track and surrounding area at Thornes Park. This, i think would be a good area.

As for the earlier comments too, regarding moving to Owl Lane, what are the facilities like at Ossett United and its capacity. I was reading the other day, that their last home game saw the second highest attendance in non league football. If their profile continues to grow, coupled up with say, promotion, could they soon out grow their current facilities.

If they do, can we realistically see 2 new ground developments this side of Heath Common. I can't see it, personally.

Could there be the potential moving forward, with a ground share with Ossett United

That's just depressing.

Does this mean that we are actually no further forward than when the plans for Newmarket were passed ?

Are they on-going with anyone else?
