Oh come on, we have a council leader who went from denying any responsibility to having his no 2 say there would be a ground built, whether Trinity wanted to play there or not, a HUGE white box taken from the original scheme at Newmarket, upsized (massively) and built under on adjacent land, it just goes on and on and on and on........................

All that we want is for WMDC to make happen that which was promised, following a public enquiry and not allow its
"friends" to make a fortune on the back of Trinity's mickey poor situation.

It seems clear that for whatever reason, Mr Box and co, either dont want there to be a SL side in Wakefield or perhaps want to drive Cas and Wakefield together in one stadium.

Box will never allow a Trinity stadium to be built before a Cas stadium. He fears us.

If Wakey get a stadium before Cas, the new advantages will allow Trinity to get ahead in the district and he just won't let that happen.

As far as I am aware, the East Coast main line isn't anywhere near the Rhubarb triangle.

Neither is Balne Lane, and driving an access road through Kirkamgate or Wrenthorpe to service this new ground is not practical or cost effective either.

I tried this three consecutive years and it really is a waste of time unless you are contesting a marginal ward.

Fair enough, the section of railway that loops through Wakefield and Leeds before joining back up at York.

Regardless Balne Lane is a smoke screen and a complete non starter.

We have been making noise all along have we not? At best it forces them to come up with some "Alternative plan" (that will never happen) to make it look to like they are making an effort to someone that has not followed the whole saga.

Have we? The club have been publically silent for a while and I don't see the story making the press, bar the odd article from the Daily Star.
