I don't know how politics work, but if Box persists with this could Trinity go above his head to the Conservatives and inform them they have a rogue MP acting in his own best interest not that of the City of Wakefield.

Grow Up!

The worst thing about all of this is that it pits fan against fan, whereas in reality we both want each other to survive provided that it isn't at the cost of our own club.

Would you say the same if the leader of the local council was a wakey fan and trying to remove the parcel of land they agreed to let you use as collateral for lending purposes to put it into newmarket?

No you bloody wouldn't.

Its been said on here numerous times, he should not have any involvement at all in the process, his colours are well and truly nailed to the Cas mast

Thought it'd be called a conflict of interest myself.

I really hope the club do not give in to this blatant attempt by Box to get what he wants and if there is anyway we can proceed without the loan of the land, I would love it (it would be great watching the git squirm trying to work out how he could legitmately let Cas use both parcels of land to complete funding)

Easy - solution, stadium each, please.

Newmarket isn't exactly central to Wakefield or it's main fan base.

I cant believe how long and drawn out the whole stadium issue is and im becoming fed up or worrying.

You see 10-12k stadiums going up all the country along with other sporting facilities - yeh I understand football has a big part in that but surely footy clubs in League 1 and 2 with nice little ground cant be making much more money that Super League clubs especially after shelling out on their player wages yet they seem to have no problem in stadium projects???

Also if the Box rumours are true and not just ppl on here flying rumours around then it discusts me! Every week that passes makes me think the stadium wont happen and 2 stadiums is just a pipe dream. If the funding is in place why is their continued set-backs??? Its in every parties interest this moves forward quickly and with SWAG etc working their ba!!s off I just cant understand how this has taken years and years???

Wakefield has already lost its professional rugby union club, has no pro footy team and now could be the beginning of the end for professional rugby league. Wakefield already has sh!te leisure and sporting facilities that quite frankly is embarassing. If newmarket fails then its the final nail in the city's coffin. I look forward to walking through wakefield in a few years where everyone is larger than a tellytubby (some would say its already like this). The whole city needs this stadium not just WTW and the council should be breaking there bent backs to help get it built otherwise its goodbye WTW.

Rant over

Dont forget this though
New swimming pool planned for Wakefield

Published Date: 26 April 2010
PLANS have been drawn up to build a new city centre swimming pool in Wakefield.

Wakefield Council has submitted a planning application for a pool and fitness centre on Sun Lane, the site of the city's former baths.

The project, which will cost around £10m, will feature a 25m pool, health and fitness suite, steam room and public cafe.
Lisa Dodd, the council's service director for sport and culture, said: "This is the next step towards seeing this key project realised.

"The application will now go through all the normal planning processes and we hope that once approved, initial work can begin later this year."

so we should be happy that we are the only City in england who has not had a pool for several years are getting something that everyone else in the country has already got

Thank you very much Mr Box you castleford t w a t.
