I can deny you it, 20 plus years of talking bollox about a new stadium thats no closer yet to even having a spade stuck in the ground does not constitute doing something about it.

Going on teams running a reserve side and teams that say they want to - Wakey, Hull, Halifax, Bradford, Wigan, Saints, Warrington, do the following fixture list (using Wigan as an example)

- Wakey (a)
- Wire (h)
- Bradford (a)
- Hull (h)
- Bye
- Saints (a)
- Halifax (h)
- Wakey (h)
- Wire (a)
- Bradford (h)
- Hull (a)
- Bye
- Saints (h)
- Halifax (a)

Repeat over for 24 games over the year, that’s plenty as you probably won’t want any over Easter as your 1st team squad is usually stretched over that period. Easy, stop making complaints it’s not doable if all teams aren’t running a reserve team.

What you say would be fine, other than Wigan, Warrington and St Helens have said that they'd like to run a reserves team, but because of the lack of other teams they won't be (at least that's how I've read it).

Another poster questioned how a reserves team could be run on £30k. The realistic answer to that is that you probably can't run both reserve and academy teams and have a budget like that. I'm not privy to the numbers, but the Fax reserve team is basically an academy team that's not restricted by age limits. Most players will be on low appearance wages or already signed on for the club on a 1st team contract. The £30k (last I heard was £25k for Fax) will mainly be for the logistics of running the team and other incidentals (coach travel, playing kit etc.).

But I’ve just shown their isn’t a lack of teams to make a full fixture list out of it, they’ll know which teams are running a team and know which want to do from previous SL owners meetings, why can’t these clubs come up with the fixture list I just did?

Why can it only apparently work if you play all other 11 SL clubs home and away once which seems to be what people want with mandatory reserve sides.

If all 12 SL clubs have reserve sides where does that leave the likes of Halifax and Bradford? Not included at the top table as SL clubs can just mirror the reserve fixtures with their 1st team fixtures?

For me it would be great to get a large proportion of SL teams playing a reserve team, it doesn't matter that much in the grand scheme if some don't. But I know Hull have signed extra players to have a squad big enough to run a reserves and when they agreed to come back apparently they were told, as we were, that there was going to be a proper set of fixtures and more teams committing to it and the opposites happened. If the teams like Wigan, Wire & Saints who seem up for reserves committed this season, it would have been at least a good number of games for players that aren't going to make the 1st team and 1st-year players to get game time & thus serve its purpose.

If Wigan, Warrington and Saints join the party then you're right that it makes a viable round robin for everyone. The problem is that those three teams "appear" to be retracting their support for the concept, which leaves the remaining 4 clubs in a pickle.

Didn't realise you were part of the Club or the Trust that has spent god knows how many hours over the years trying to get a stadium sorted. Yeah, you must be spot on though, no one at the Club or those people that have helped have done anything at all, just pretending & talking bollox. If only Wakefield had a Council half as willing to help the City's sports teams (or in Wakefield's case to just get a developer to fulfill his S106 promise after being gifted greenbelt land to build a Community stadium and other facilities as well as warehousing) as much as Leeds City Council hey.

Why don't you go and ask one of your fellow Leeds supporters 'Inflatable Armadillo' how much time and effort he's put in just personally these past 6/7 years as part of and now Head of the Community Trust?

Before that, was it Trinity talking bollox about building a sports Village in Thornes park for a year or more, to then pull the plug, no that was WMDC. Or the idea of building one at the top of Queens Drive/ Dewsbury Road, no that was WMDC again. Even since Newmarket the Council has yet come up with a cunning plan to build a stadium around the back of Peacock estate, no seriously. :SLEEPY:

Belle Vue ranks close to the bottom of the grounds I'd like to watch a game of RL, It's a close call between Belle Vue and Odsal.

I wish everyone would read bramleyrhino's post two or three times just to get it through some thick skulls


Mr bramleyrhino speaks a lot of sense.

For what it's worth, Leeds City Council hasn't put any finance into the development work at Headingley.

The council has underwritten an investment vehicle to support Yorkshire CCC, (who haven't got a pot to mickey i and would have lost Test status due to not being able to fund their share of the joint stand), but the work at Headingley is being funded by the club's own reserves and private financing.

Double standard as ever where Wakefield are concerned :IDEA:
