I wonder if we have already built it, but it's sunk into the land? That could be why RW has gone all quiet. I mean how stupid would he look if they had built a stadium and the bloody thing had sunk into the ground. He is probably trying to secure funding to raise the stadium from the Glasshoughton soil as we speak. I bet they have got Red Adair in, I hope they can get it clean for 2011.

To the few Wakey fans saying the land is sinking:

So was the land where Xscape is, they just sink in some concrete & steel supports to hold the land and building up, it's simple really - there will be a plan in place seems it happened about 300 yards down the road at Xscape, so it's nothing to worry about.

We can call it The Phoenix Stadium as it rises from the ashes (Pit Heap).

With the state of the land up at J32 builing such a heavy structure would be a death wish with the state of the land.

I think it's an old pit site Baz. They could have awful problems with subsidence on ground like that. You know, a bit like was happening with the Xscape site. Mind you, with a heavy stadium to support, who knows what might happen?

They'll be alright if they spread the load, the stadiums being going to be built at Belle Vue, Ossett, Thornes Park, the field just over the road at J30 (It was a gift I recall from someone who didn't own it) even College Grove was mentioned as a location many moons ago. So with a spread like that for such an 'Heavy' structure they should be okay & the only sinking feeling will be when they fail the next franchise round (Hopefully). Or move it to Barnsley afterall thats what they used to get into SL in the first place.

I do hope they don't get 'Shafted' with this one....

And anyone mention sharing oe the 'M' word again, go and sit down for an hour and read a few excerpts from the boook from last time 'Merging on the Ridiculous'....that should bring you to your senses.

Maybe Trinity, Cas or both will sink their stadiums so far that we have to play in the NRL instead of SL.
