Edit: Going way off topic here sorry but what's with the increase of beggers in Wakefield?

Do you watch the news?

"Last year, around 4,800 people were estimated to be sleeping rough in England. This is 15% higher than in 2016, and more than double the estimate of 1,800 for 2010."

I make no comment on the public policy landscape that underpins these figures, for fear of triggering those people who don't like real life things to impinge on their enjoyment of this forum.

The title of the topic is 'Stadium', not 'Social Issues'. If I wish to discuss the latter I will post on the appropriate forum.

I wonder if we had kept the same thread all of these years for the stadium fiasco if we would have beaten the post count on the famous "For the live of God,Allah or whoever-McDermott GO!!!" on the Leeds board.

I think the longest running thread I remember was 'CHRIS JOYNT VOLUNTARY TACKLE' got well into low hundreds.


However if we had kept the very first stadium post going and not kept starting up new ones we would have created a monster thread of many thousands of pages. Not only that the way the council still continue to dick us around I would say there are still thousands of stadium posts waiting to happen.

Chris Joynt incident is going back a few years

Like you a few more thousand posts due on the stadium issue.

Pop Tart has nothing else to do...rofl.... mebbe he could do a chronological stitch and merge job

on the other hand, I don't think this forum could handle a depression thread of that magnitude......and there probably isn't enough ones and naughts available on vBulletin.

Think we all knew Wakeys not great, but certainly better than Bradford.

Unsurprisingly the Client is Yorkcourt!

Here we go again...
