Yorkcourt Properties Limited has today announced their plans for a new community stadium just off of Junction 30 of the M62.
The proposal is to develop a scheme capable of supporting a new 12,000 capacity community stadium in order to safeguard the Super League future of Rugby League in the district, and to encourage the development and retention of local sporting talent by providing facilities worthy of a city with such a proud sporting heritage.
A new community trust stadium group has been set up, chaired by Sir Rodney Walker, to help deliver the project and to ultimately own and operate the facility, for the benefit of the local community. This will be a community stadium in every sense of the word, with a pioneering ownership and operating structure to ensure it is run for the benefit of the local community. There is also the potential for an educational element, with the local college and university considering the possibility of a sport science department on site.
Sir Rodney Walker says, “We have been working extremely hard with all relevant parties to find a solution to benefit the whole community and a new site for the proposal. We are delighted to have found an opportunity with great access and great potential to move sport on to another level in the district. We very much hope that this is the first step in creating world class facilities and clubs in the district.”
Colin Mackie of Yorkcourt Properties comments, “This is a very exciting opportunity for Yorkcourt to be involved in. We are confident that the project can be delivered in a timescale to guard the future of Rugby League in the district and create a facility for sustained sporting success”.
Ted Richardson, chairman of Wakefield Trinity Wildcats said, “This is very exciting for Rugby in the district. We are under enormous pressure to be playing in a stadium which lives up to the world class Rugby League being played in Super League. Having seen a number of false dawns, we are confident that this is a deliverable plan and should safeguard the future of the club for many, many years to come”.
