While we're talking about heritage, lets talk about Trinity's proud heritage as one of the founding members of the Rugby League, a proud working class sport that decided it had had enough of the fact that money, and not skill, decided whether you could play the game. This new code forged tremendous links with the working population in large parts of Northern England, on both sides of the Pennines but nowhere more intimately than the Wakefield area, where along with cricket it overshadowed all other sports to provide relief from the drudgery of everyday working life. It used to be said that if a team needed a classy half-back they could shout down any pit shaft in Wakefield and get a hatful of worthy contenders.
What better way to preserve this heritage than to build a new stadium on an abandoned pit! Re-form the old prize winning Newmarket/Silkstone Brass Band, have them playing on match days, and call the Stadium the 'Up Yours, Thatcher!' stadium.
Thats what I call Heritage - wildlife generally looks after itself, thats why some of the best places to see wildlife are derelict sites and railways!
