Apparently the Shaw Lane owner is unhappy with crowds of only 200 or so supporters at Athersley. I'm afraid that crowds wouldn't be much different at Wakefield.
Not surprising really as he's a dee dar and a devoted Wednesday fan who recently had to retract a statement concerning Barnsley's relegation.
As for Wakefield's apathy towards semi pro football teams, maybe the owner of the ground might see things differently with the extra revenue, the ground at Athersley Rec is more than big enough atm, but if they get promoted again perhaps they'll need a bigger ground.
