That's an easy position to adopt from your ivory tower
Who else in SL built and/or owns their own ground ?
Leeds, St Helens, Cas ?
Warrington via a holding company ?
Hudds have a 20% stake in their football ground holding company
Hull council owned
Widnes council owned
Catalans council owned/local authority/whatever
Leigh council owned
HKR council owned
Salford rent from a 3rd party.
Wigan rent from a football club
The premier sport in the Wakefield district does not have a stadium in which to play it.
With the game being in the state it is and with neither Cas nor Wakey having enough conkers between them to build one their own, what is the answer.
The answer isn't "its their own fault" anymore than it was Hudds, Widnes, Cats, Leigh, Salford, HKR or Wigans own fault.
I didn’t say Wakefield we’re anymore at fault than the vast majority of RL clubs who took the same short-sighted decisions not to invest in their stadiums. But that is still Wakefield’s fault. And the situation is still the same, if Wakefield had invested in their stadium over the years they would not be in as bad a position now.
