our lowest crowd this season was 12,482 against Catalan, and our current average is 15,900 so it woulden't be adequate.

But the figure quoted remember is about the Home crowd....Fantastic news for Wakey and plenty of room for our TRAVELLING army which will love to come to another new stadium. Good on you Wakey, and that from a 'granny' who loves visiting BV and like most of the FC fans wish you every success. ..........grannyfan Cindy

It's great news, don't see how it can be negative at all.

12k If perfect for the club and if (which I am more than confient it will) the support base goes up then they will think about extending. No point in getting one that is too big for us and have it half empty, when it is full or near full the atmosphere will be fantastic!

Dreadnaught Stadium - Wakefield Trinity Wildcats

Just done some research into the ADO stadium, the one pictured above.
It belongs to ADO Den Haag, a Dutch premier football team, it holds 15,000 (slightly more than were looking at, but could be easily reshaped by cutting 1500 seats from each of the touchline stands).
It Cost 28M Euro's when it was constructed in 2007, thats aprox 24.6M Sterling, although i think when Sir Rodney gets final confirmation of the allocation of funds he will be able to get it done a good deal cheaper at present market climate. Builders are crawling over there mothers for work.
The ADO Stadium only took 18 months to build too, so if we get cracking by Nov next year could well be our last at BV!
Good times Wildcat fans

Both do the job for the same thing.... MONEY!
If you have it they will build it.
And judging by who is spearheading the building and running of the project i wouldn't spend too much time saying how "Wakefield don't have the money.. blah blah. credit crunch.. blah blah.."
Because RW (Sir Rodney Walker.. not Richard Wright) has money, connections and experience in abundance.
