I was talking to a Wakefield supporter this week who says that they're coming to our place next year,and are bringing the sponsors boxes that they have behind the sticks with them and are going to install them behind the sticks at the open end of our ground. 

We could be bringing  the North Stand roof too

I hope to god we don't see them tatty boxes behind our posts at Tetleys stadium. They look awful! Not even sure anything from Wakey is worth taking. We have a lovely smart stadium with great faculties around the stadium now. Let's not ruin it with some tatty mucky flats... That said looking forward to wakey moving in too, think it could make both clubs stronger. We clearly have a good friendship going between both clubs.

Didn't those boxes at wakey cost something like a million.How much would it cost to move them to Dewsbury ?

Who is going to pay? Wakey? If they did , that would be a permanent move surely.

I don't like the idea but as i have said before some sort of partnership with another club might have to be the future.

I think something is in the pipeline especially if we get relegated

But i have no inside info whatever.

I think he may have been pulling your leg!

There have been several new developments in this situation over the last few weeks but nothing has been made public yet.

I suspect that we will have to wait for a while for the official announcement from Wakefield.

From the back of my memory, when the stadium was built - wasn't there something in the planning approval making us leave an open view through the stadium and stopping any development at the eastern and western ends of the ground?

Wilsden ram says we need to wait for an announcement from Wakefield so this could go either way - either they are coming, or they are not -- simples.  If they did come I hope they do not get too much influence over our club or it could be a very negative for Dewsbury and result in our demise. On a positive note we need to look at their  turnstyles as ours are ######. Their Doncaster road stand could be of some use to us if it is practical to resite it at the Bywell road end of the ground. Would need some terracing but no major design work. May also need new roofing panels. Finally we do need to improve the entry and exit from our ground. Cars are queuing along the main road to get into the ground and it takes an eternity to get out - a situation sure to get worse if Wakey do come.

Were you there on Sunday? The brimming crowds so far have hardly been a driving force for development have they ?

I fully expect that Wakefield are participating in yet another example of brinkmanship with their council and all of us should avoid wasting any of our energies upon them until they actually decide what they intend to do.
