The Hepworth gallery opens, Trinity Walk is open for its second weekend and, of course, its the biggest Wakey-Cas derby since the Battle of Belle Vue. The City will be absolutely heaving. No doubt a welcome sight after years of the city looking like a building site with numerous shops closing.



A great day for the City and with the BBC cameras at the match and a strong media presence at the gallery (with all the rugby fans flocking past). It'll be all eyes on Wakefield.



Being in my final year at Uni this'll be my first match of the season. What a day to return to the fold!! Cannot wait!!



COME ON WAKEY!!!

Just need a new stadium now!

Still working on it!

Also got a brand new hospital now fully functioning - the old girl (Wakey) is having a bit of a revival.

Didn't know it had been finished. Excellent news!

There are still bits going on but it's pretty much there as far as I can tell.

go compare! go compare! we are raving for our wakey! better than the towns now go on go compare! go compare! (sorry made it up on the spot)

WE editor on radio leeds today around 4 ish had time talk about quite a bit of wakey but not Trinity RL missed chance again to give out that feel good factor

HUGE , MASSIVE GAME THIS ONE FLOCK IN YOUR NUMBERS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT GOING. JUDGEMENT DAY 2 !!!! AFTER THIS 1 GAME AWAY FROM A SEMI FINAL. PEOPLE MUST MAKE IT !!!!!!!

All we need now is Victoria back in the Bull Ring with some flowers and comfortable seats and everything will be fine!!!

You wouldn't believe it was going to be another great day in Wakefield if you were watching Look North this morning.



They started their report on tomorrow's opening by telling us the Hepworth is in Yorkshire which it is but they did their best to limit the word Wakefield in the report.



They went on to derogatorily describe it as a collection of about nine angular structures that had cost over £30million to build. Focusing then on questions to Wakefield council about their decision to build it when they are facing cuts of £60million to their funding.



All I could think was that they are seriously PI$$ed off that it's in Wakefield and not their beloved Leeds.

I just had an aunt move back to Wakefield from Kensington,, London after 30 years being away and she could not believe how things have changed. From her perspective Ings Rd etc is new and different from how she remembers Wakefield, imagine how different it will look when everything's done.





Westgate regeneration

Trinity Walk

New Market house

Bus station

Soon to be rebuilt Westgate Rail stn

The Hepworth

Waterfront developments

New Bull ring

Soon to be extended Ridings Centre

New swimming baths set to start soon

Hopefully A new stadium and other sports facilities



We need to get Kirkgate and the bottom of Westgate sorted and then things will look hugely different.



If Wakefield College ever revamp their ambitions to become a University the regeneration will take on another lease of life.
