I would say the mark of a small club would be having to rent a stadium because they cant afford to build one or being bailed out by another club. Just like Hull

Has anyone here heard of the global recession?



Is the stadium going to be funded by government stimulus spending funds?

It is hard to imagine a private consortium sticking its neck out in these times of tight credit.



If not government funded, which decade do you think it might get started? Last time I checked, the decision on 2012 SL licenses is to be made in early 2011.

Good news for a club that really, really deserves some good news at the moment. I think pitching the capacity at 12K is spot on. Even the threat of an occasional sell out will drive demand up and with a bit of clever marketing for the less-popular games, it could have a very positive impact on the Wakefield average gate.



See, not everyone at HKR is bitter & twisted!

But in this instance you are out of touch with reality. The planned stadium is for now just a plan. It is unlikely to get off the ground.

Good news for Wakey, hope it comes off - but stanley??? i always thought that was quite a way out of town when i used to go there.

And you know this because....???

I have already explained.



To quote James Carville: "It's the economy stupid!"

The Location is about 10 minute drive outside of Wakefield right next to the M62. For away fans it's perfect, and although not in a residential area i do think with a good bus service will prove easily accessible by all.



With the site likely to be Brownfield i think this has led to it being chosen.

He knows nowt, he is the forum laughing stock.

Don't feed the dumb troll!!

As his user name indicates, he's a plastic nob

I think it is a good move going to 12K capacity. Im guessing that it will be fully enclosed like the keepmoat is because i feel that would be ideal as it is a very nice stadium. (Maybe you should jus try and move it from doncatser and change the seat colours.

Would wakey fans prefer to have a part of the ground for terracing or are you happy with fully seated?

All things considered I think 12K is about right for Wakey aslong as they forward plan to be able to increase without to much trouble or cost should they need to.



Good luck to Wakey and hope it works for them.
