Just had a look at the video & must appluad it for a great piece of comedy.

I don't think any of us will disagree that BV is not in a great location for people who are driving there, but as for the parking on the streets it's something that we are all allowed to do if there are no restrictions.

I have no doubt that a very small minority of fans (of either side playing) might drop some litter in the area around the ground, but having walked through Agbrigg many times to & from the match (with the walk to the match usually in time for the Academy game if there's been one on before the first team game) I can honestly say that the amount of litter is not noticably different after the match than it has been 2 or 3 hours before kick off.

It's clear that WCCG is simply not interested in the issue of conservation in the Wakefield area as they are doing nothing to update their site - in addition to the propaganda video there's only 1 "news" item and that's from the brginning of September.

Until they can demonstrate some interest in the community of Wakefield they should rename themselves as the Newmarket Lane CCG rather than using the Wakefield name in vane to give the impression of representing the views of the city.

NIMBY's

Welcome to the rugby league fans community,

As TRB as already stated there is no stadium without the industrial development and therefore any sentiment you express regarding the stadium is meaningless whilst ever you are opposing the wider development.

I live and always have lived just a third of a mile from junction 40 of the M1 an area which has been extensively developed over the last 15 years. To add to that development there has also been the construction of a major supermarket, a Hotel, a massive gymnasium and the development continues. All this on Dewsbury Road one of the main arterial roads into Wakefield city centre and one of only two main roads that lead to my home. When these developments were in the planning there was a lot of fear about how it would affect the environment around where we lived, access to our homes, danger to our children and so on and so on.

When I look back and think about some of those fears, if I am totally honest, virtually non-have been realised to the extent that we thought they would. In many ways these developments have breathed new life into the area, many of the local shops do much greater business, many of the local people have found employment in these new developments, much of the area is now cleaner, tidier and is maintained more often.

Now I'm not naive enough to believe that every development in every area will have the same positive or negative impact but when I compare junction 40 with the proposed development of a distribution centre at Newmarket Lane, with traffic entering and leaving the motorway without troubling the residential area, I just can't see it having anywhere near the negative impact you envisage.

As for greenbelt land around Wakefield, there is plenty. You should head up towards Bretton, Hall Green, Denby Dale, not to mention the various nature reserves, Nostell even Stanley has lots of greenbelt land surrounding it beyond the Newmarket Lane area (take a look at Newmarket Lane on Google maps, you'll struggle to find areas of development between swathes of greenbelt land).

You ask us to realise that there is a bigger picture yet it seems you have closed your mind to the positives and the benefits that this development will bring!

It was good to see they interviewed a cross section of society,including,crackheads,illegal immigrants ,single parents and for pity sake a Volvo driver!!!!!!!!!!!

lol spot on. I bet half of those people interviewed who passed comment on the parking don't even own a car.

We should make one showing "the reality of living near a rugby stadium" with all the fans leaving and handing out chocolates and flowers to the local residents - it'd be a bit more credible than theirs at least.

And the land is owned by Yorkcourt not the Council. At the entrance to said area there has been a large notice for a long time saying 'Trespassers will be Prosecuted' ... so not much of an amenity for anyone!

Point of order. You cannot be prosecuted for Trespass as it is not a Criminal Offence it is a civil offence for which I believe you would have to be sued.

Re: The Problem With Newmarket : Thu Dec 31, 2009 3:38 pm  

an intresting point the parking issue....................................now correct me if im wrong but we have had a radical idea on this one if i view the plans correctly, we are having a car park!

so people may "park" their cars!


makes me laugh because i know for a fact one of the rield owners nearby is already talking about charging to park in his field on match days!!!
