On a serious note jabve the Club / SWAG not tried to canvass the support of the rugby league community.
After all securing a stadium would be a boost to the game in general.

Why would we not be able to get League Express / League Weekly / YEP / Radio Yorkshire / Wakefield Express (spit) and arm them with "proof" discussions, documents to do a bit of an expose on a quite frankly dispicable act of failing to follow law.

Could we not somehow get the council and Yorkcourt out of their hiding sheds with this publicity to get some action.

Its all been far too quite, how long will we wait before we turn the tables.

I get the whole burning bridges argument but they're playing us all, and if there'#s confidentiality agreements in place then I'd suggest the council / Yorkcourt have already broken an contract implace

I don't think Ed.Balls has any interest in Rugby League whatsoever but he does a nice Fandango.

I heard that we may have a case against Oliver Cromwell because a royalist was looking to develop an arena in the Wakefield area but wasn't quick enough before being executed.
If the cold storage unit had been built on the designated area would it have met the conditions for a stadium to be built?
Whilst on the subject my understanding is
1 No one wants to pay to improve Belle Vue
2 No one wants to pay to build us a new ground
3 the chances of this changing by Easter or at all are slim
4 we intend to move to Dewsbury
5 Their ground does not meet SL standards and will need money investing
6 Dewsbury do not currently need a SL standard ground therefore because it is to benefit us I would think we would have to fund this
7 we do not have the money to develop Belle Vue so probably will be in the same position for Dewsbury
8 We do not have a plan B therefore demotion will be the probable outcome.
9 it could be argued that Castleford's ground is in a worst state than ours
10 they have had a wall fall down and a floodlight catch fire
11 they run the same risks as we do but no suggestion that they are looking to move
12 they also do not have a new ground
13 I have not heard any derogatory comments about their ground so it does not appear to be a factor it is for us.
14 I wonder why?

They do, but it has plenty of 'charges' against it, meaning the nett value is low.

We have 2 schemes in the district - one is a Community Stadium, which will not be in the ownership of any club, but will belong to a Trust, the other will belong to a RL club. I would like to see WMDC ensure both stadiums are delivered by those who have benefitted from their Planning Permissions. It is up to Cas how they want to deal with the ownership thing, we have our model and everyone is happy with it - we just need it built!
