Cutting through all this political tape and getting back on thread , I’d have the guy in a heartbeat down here terrorising the opposition . If said money was supposedly available for A Fifita and there was space and he was willing to come to according to some poster (the back of beyond) , grab him as these players very rarely turn up on our shores looking and playing anything like their glory days .

Apologies about Pontefract, I did not even know they were one of them, the town I was thinking of was Knottingley

Hemsworth, SK, SE are not part of the 5 towns -some are in a separate entity ie SESKU (South Elmsall, South Kirkby and Upton)
The 5 towns are: Normanton, Pontefract, Featherstone, Castleford and Knottingley

Just so we are clear on the subject, I was simply clearing up a few things you seemed to be contradicting yourself with as I have no personal axe to grind with either you or Wakefield council.
a) Hemsworth, Sth Elmsall are 2 of the make up of the 5 towns along with Normy, Cas, and that place the other side of Ferrybridge whose name escapes me if I'm not mistaken, and seeing how Sth Kirkby is smack in the middle of Hemsworth and Sth Elmsall it's kind of included in the point I was making, which was that the residents are also tax payers and deserve equality.
b)You have me here as I believed and still do that WMDC never promised the club a new stadium but assistance which never fully materialised.
c/d)As I said I left Wakefield 50 years ago and tbh I've never heard of it and I thought it was just a touch of sarcasm on your part to mask your bitterness.
e)Forgive me for my ignorance as politics local or national are not my strongpoint, but didn't the Tories win the last local elections, so how can they be the same party?.
f)Bit of a contradiction here as your quite happy to see affordable houses on Neil Fox Way but not unaffordable houses which incidentally help pay for the 5 towns and out lying areas.
g)If by taking a look at the neighbouring council to the south of Wakefield you mean Barnsley, then I don't have to as I live there, and am grateful for what's happened there regarding the town centre's make over and fortunately we don't have the same problems on the scale of Wakefield regarding serving the out lying areas.
Please accept my criticism in the spirit it was intended and nothing more, however how you interpret it is down to you.

My final words chissitt, just so we don't leave you with any wrong impressions

The Toriies won the Wakefield iseat n the General election, not the local elections .Labour won those.

I didn't say that WMDC promised us a community stadium. I said we were pro mised a stadium, . WMDC were going to contribute towards it.

Someone else stated the correct identities of the 5 towns and saved me the trouble.

Barnsley have just concluded a £200,000,000 town centre redevelopment bringing lots of people into the centre. I go there at least once a week. I can't see WMDC doing that.

No hard feelings, chissitt?
