I think we should name the stadium after TRB or build a a statue of the man..
Good god man you'll make his head explode.
Seriously though you have a point.
There are many who deserves some credit but three in particular spring to mind.
One is TRB who due to certain unfortunate incidents has had to fight the SWAG cause almost single handed on occasion. Despite this he has had to face ridicule and abuse on this very forum, continually defending the clubs position as best he could and never losing his rag. One of the main reasons I stopped posting is bcause I have not got that level of self control and thus didn't want to antagonise the situation. The club and fans owe TRB a huge debt.
Two is Prince Buster who until a recent problem was like a pitbull in his determination to NOT allow WMDC to dodge it's responsibilities. Many a Wakefield politician will be glad not to be on the wrong side of PB for a change.
Third and the one I feel very strongly about, Ted Richardson. He has had to take endless abuse (club run like a corner shop and other such drivel) for the way he has run the club from a bunch of ignorant self serving fools. Yet it was Ted who picked up the pieces after the Thornes fiasco and it was he who found Yorkcourt and got the show back on the road. This despite massive financial problems of his own that would frankly of forced a lesser man to walk away.
However today is a great day and a new start for ALL on both sides, so let's let bygones be bygones and move on. Well done to all.
A statue of TRB -that I'd like to see
This is fantastic. Well done WMDC, well done Ted, TRB, Diane, everybody at the club, all SWAG, everyone who signed the petition, Sir Rod and anybody and everybody who supported the plan. Lets see it through to full approval now and build ASAP.
