Wrong, according to the list of UK cities and towns size by population Wakey is hundredth on the list, Halifax is 87 and Huddersfield is ranked at 39.

Some lists only include the Wakefield city centre population and not Outwood wrenthorpe Stanley and other areas which are still classed as Wakefield Wf1 Wf2 wf3 postcodes and are in the traditional Wakefield boundrys abit like illingworth & siddal are to Halifax. Trust me Wakefield is alot bigger than Halifax

The list you read clearly states that they have not used the formal boundaries and are judging areas or settlements. The offical census figures show that Huddersfield (146k) and Halifax (82k) added together are still well short of Wakefield population (323k). Wrong. 323,000 is population of Wakefield district. Population of Kirklees (which is the comparable district) is 409,000 as per their website. http://www.kirklees.gov.uk/community/st ... irkMYE.pdf Calderdale is 202,000. So combination of Calderdale and Kirklees is approximately double that of Wakefield district.

And if you're going to include the likes of Stanley in Wakefield as per the above, you should probably include the likes of Siddal and Ovenden in Calderdale.

That Wakefield is still probably smaller. Halifax on its own is 82000 (although I have noted that this is including Illingworth), Wakefield including Stanley et al is 102,000.

Re: Stadium Developments : Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:44 pm  

Wakefield is around 34,000
Please don't start arguing that Cas shouldn't be included because as everyone knows its a small Village/Town in WAKEFIELD.
