Not at all. Every one's opinion is equally valid and open debate is something we all enjoy, but when previous posts have mentioned the high probability of opponents to the development at Newmarket keeping tabs on the forum I just see little value in giving them greater ammunition.

In fairness - I don't think we disagree on the product - merely the delivery of it. I'm quite happy to discuss the methods of approach and, on this occasion, I disagree with kinley.

I'm missing nothing. We have a massive job still to do - and we have a massive influensive power that we need to keep involved and alert. SWAG was formed to influence the politics in Wakefield - and the final say on this will be the politicians - don't forget that!

Look how many people signed the "No war In Iraq" petition or The country side alliance march in London Politicians take no notice of petitions, downing street gets 10s a week with and they smile and do their own thing.

In clarity to the above comments:

Our firend 'rugbyball' is a Featherstone fan who appears to wish to de-rail the campaign to influence the planning process in favour of the proposals submitted.

5 years ago it seemed that WMDC would do little, if anything, to assist in the building of new sporting facilities for rugby league. We have come along way since then, not through what SWAG has done, but through the what the fans have done - once they had a campaign to support. We are quite possibly approaching the point where our use will be no longer required, but I have no desire to end up like the South African cricket team (sorry Al) and end up 1 winning ball short of getting what we set out to achieve.

We are NOT there yet - please do not be swayed otherwise by some of the comments on here!

I've always said that I will not believe the new ground will happen until I am stood in it watching a game - there have been plenty of ideas, plans, let downs, over the years. We are now getting close towards it being reality but as TRB says, we are NOT there yet. It still needs the support of the fans and the community of Wakefield and others.

I'm on the wrong side of the M62 in Rothwell (owned by Leeds ) but probably closer to the new site than many in Wakefield. There have been a few letters of support for the stadium in the local press and I will support the plans for the stadium and other stuff as much as I can.

About 10 or so years ago before everything went ga-ga for Leeds United, they were looking at having a new ground just of J45 of the M1 - this would have been about half a mile away from my house. Immediately a number of locals turned NIMBY and wrote to the press saying it would bring loads of fans to Rothwell to get drunk, fight and cause damage like had never been seen. I never agreed with them and would have supported the stadium & and retail park / industrial area around it - if it came back as an option I would support it again.

Wow you really are paranoid. You carry on, do you not think that WE take the odd glance on here, and having read your remarks and stirring up of emotion, Im sure they will be only too happy to play ball with you.

And as for clarity, do you not think people are capeable to read the thread themselves without you giving them your summary on my posts.

Seems you want to go to war with everyone who as an opposing view to you

if you think the Wakefield Express reads this thread and takes all the crap put on here to get some kind journal out they must be pretty poor,
do you not think that there are posters that are jealous of the fact a scheme has been devised that for once looks pretty good and serves the community as well as the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats

let me think how they would print it
