I promise you I have come on here with no agenda other than to put across my point on why I am opposed to the industrialisation of the Newmarket site, I do realise that I am going to get no support for what I believe is the greater good of our community from you folks on here as you are all wildcats fans and you all want this to happen, and I dare say that in the long run you will be proved to be right and this will all go ahead but if I and others just sat back and watched it happen without making our voices heard then we would not be being true to our beliefs, another point you make is that the wildcats would be shafted as you put it if this ground does not go ahead well to be honest I don’t know about that all I do know is that rugby has been played in Wakefield for over 100 years and I am sure this would continue to be the case as I am sure there are other suitable sites. As other people have mentioned about all the hundreds of jobs that would be created by all this, well from what I have seen of this sort of thing in the past you could have a warehouse as big as 3 rugby fields and only have 6 guys on forklifts working in it so I think that number of jobs could be very much exaggerated, but anyway these are just my thoughts and I do realise that I am in a very big minority so I think it will just be a case of wait and see what comes of it all.
Could you be more specific on the highlighted points.
What are your beliefs?
Where are these other sites that would be commercially and financially viable that you are sure exist?
What other developments in the past are you referring to and did you oppose these sites?
Did you oppose the Thornes Park proposals?
I would presume you are a member of WCCG.
The video is quite laughable and actaully highlights the need to move away from predominately residential areas,yet you state you are happy for just the stadium to be built -- seems to contradict what your little band of followers believe!!!!!
Showing rubbish in gardens -- get real and no disrespect to Belle Vue/Agbrigg,but you could walk down many streets in Agbrigg and find that amount of litter in a garden.That has more to do with the residents than the stadium.
Your own website even highlights the fact that Wakefield need a new stadium to protect their super league survival.
The facts are,you dont give a monkeys about Wakefield Wildcats,the benefits to the wider community of a first class sporting facility,the benefits of job creation.
The simple fact is you just dont want the development next to you!! and are trying to hide behind the greenbelt issues.
