Rugbyball, do you have any other hobbies apart from coming on here, you know, intrests? things your passionate about? Im sort of assuming this has become your lifes work as friends and heaven forbid sexual partners would seem unlikely.

You really are a wit, If you notice I am not on here all the time I pop in from time to time, now Kev Klash he really is on here prettymuch all the time.

Sorry if the truth hurts and me mentioning makes people think there may be another way to the SWAG WTWC YC dream. I do realise when you are so desperately trying to kid yourselves that your right, it must be annoying to have somebody remind you of the reality, but that is on you.

All you are is a Professional WUM,all of your posts have been made on the Trinity forum yet you are not a Trinity supporter,you come across as somebody who has little interest in Rugby League and you only comment on this forum when the stadium at Newmarket is a topic.You are achieving nothing except wasting your own time,but then again you might have that to waste.MUG.

Ignore me then, like I say the truth hurts. I do have a life, I have W.A.R meetings to attend, I also enjoy letter writing, otter conservation, cycling, not forgetting my love of all things Iron Age.

In the hope of adding intelligently to the dabate... I did a bit of loose research (findings are rounded up or down as appropriate) on the distance from wakefield to a number of potential groundshare options for Trinity (I have take the centre of Wakefield as the start point for the research!)

It shows some interesting things:


To share with Bradford Bulls our fans would have to travel 14.5 miles to a home game

To share with Leeds Rhinos our fans would have to travel 13.5 miles to each home game

To share with Huddersfield Giants our fans would have to travel 11.5 miles to each home game

To share with Castleford Tigers at Glasshoughton our fans would have to travel between 9 and 12 miles (the most direct route is on very small roadways and takes you through Newmarket!!) to each home game

To share with Barnsley our fans would have to travel 9 miles to each home game

To play our home games as guests of Leeds United our fans would have to travel 8 miles to every home game

Mount Pleasant (Batley) is 7.5 miles, Crown Flatt at Dewsbury is 7 miles and the South Leeds Staduim of Hunslet is just 6 Miles

The stadium proposed at Newmarket is 4 miles out of town

no conclusions just some data....

As it stands they are not providing either. If we are relying on WMDC for anything then we are shafted as they are totally useless in every respect.

What are the capacities of the stadiums. Bare in mind that we need 12k for 1 franchise point and no more than about 14k if our current crowds are to be no less than 40% of the capacity for another franchise point.
