Absolutely brilliant news for not just Wakefield fans but visiting fans and Rugby League fans in general.

Wakey need this stadium badly and the sooner the better, it will see a rise in crowds for them and if they get the planning right, which I hope they do, they will get the bigger away fans attendance as well. Sadly there are people that just won't go to BV, sad but understandable really at the moment.

Foooookin brilliant news.

Well done to the club and everyone involved SWAG etc.

At Hull tomorrow 'Were all off to Stanley, Were all off to Stanley'

Come on.

I am happy if you were not sure

Who would have funked it that Stanley would be the location?? That's come out of the blue! Looks perfect sense looking at Google maps, not much around, plenty of land and straight off the M62.

Looking at the map, coming down Newmarket Lane from Aberford road, I would imagine it will be on the right, huge area to develop.

http://www.totalrl.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=172610&view=findpost&p=1742852 I am reliably informed that just a few weeks ago Sir Rodney was a guest speaker at a Wakefield Golf Club function and was asked the question 'Will the Wildcats get a new stadium?'. To which he apparently replied that they would get a new stadium providing Castleford played ball. Things might have changed since then, I don't know. It will be interesting to see the outcome of this. To have this stadium delivered within the next two years is optimistic to say the least given the present state of things. ????

We are a sleeping giant, I've always thought that, and this might awaken it. Well done to everyone.

So they must have moved that colony of endangered newts then. Well done to the conservationists.

They are talking in context of aussie posters claiming two clubs going it alone is counter productive, not sure if I'd read too much in it. Nowhere does it say the stadium is exclusively ours, but it is in Wakefield and Cas have been the ones who were insistent they could succeed on their own.

Absolutly brilliant news. Surely they cant announce it again and it is not going to happen. Please god lets this be right! Some good pubs in Stanley before the games as well. Allways good
