Didn't see this coming. Didn't they complain about our pitch when they moved to Belle Vue?

Sounds like cost is too much for them at Wakey, both in terms of rent and ground safety certificate.

   How many IMG points do we get for letting everybody under the sun use our stadium.I am not complaining a community stadium deserves to be used to the full.

More revenue supports a better score under the finances heading.

Ground safety? In the Wembley of the North ?

We could get 1000 points and they wouldn't let us go up.

Also worth noting that the club quote comes from Paddy, not Mark. First time I recall that happening.

Would sound better if Pontefract Collieries played here instead, and we got recognised as a club from Ponte rather than from a small suburb of Wakey! Our local population would also treble to around 60K if you included Ackworth.

But don't forget S Featherstone Rovers FC is a Football Club based in Featherstone, . The Club has been formed as a joint effort between local team Featherstone AFC and, Featherstone Rovers in 2023, with the aim to provide low cost football to the local community and wider surrounding areas. Play on welfare and high school have seven teams from future stars age 4-6  up to under 13 finally ladies and Men Hope we put that to IMG

All well and good POR, but I was suggesting a closer association with Pontefract. The RFL and IMG are totally blinkered with respect to geography and the partisan rivalry within the heartlands.

I'm not quite sure what you think that would gain in terms of IMG points?

Any idea how much revenue will be coming from it ?

Given entry is only £6 full price, I can't see more than a handful of takers for parking at £5 a go.

That definite? Their posts for games at BV say 'parking available' but no mention of 'free' whereas for last night's it was 'free parking'.
