I feel incredibly sorry for wakefield. shafted by the council over a new ground they have spent money they don't gave on massively updating there ground and they are struggling now squad wise.
compare that to castleford who sit in a ground not fit for purpose, no idea how the dump gets a safety certificate, and all you get is promises of a new ground that never materialise
TBF to Wakefield / Cas and Fev all being in the WF postcode has allowed the council to skirt round any meaningful action WRT funding for decades. How they fell for that debacle with the hit 60% full on that industrial site and they had to build a stadium so the council green lit another site over the road allowing the developers to diddle Wakey out of a ground. The fact they have have coughed up ANY money no matter how derisible in almost bribe form is crazy to all three teams, playing all 3 off against each other.
