| Quote Wakefield No 1="Wakefield No 1"It says in todays Wakey Express that Tescos are planning to take over the old sainsburys site and build a new Tesco Extra in Wakefield. It's such a shame that we couldnt have put this together in some way to get us a new ground, like Warrington, St Helens and in some ways Wigan have done...Tesco's wanting a site in Wakefield could have taken over Belle Vue or built a new store on land at silkwood park or wherever along with a new stadium for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats...
anyway it will be good to have something on the sainsburys site because lots of wakefield is now looking derelict after trinity walk and other business going bust!!'"
even trinity walk looks like a ghost town

I agree. Been there a couple of times and it is only around 60% occupied.
I have also heard that despite it being a much better shop, the Sainsburys is not doing as well as it did on Ings Road.

| Quote bren2k="bren2k"Tesco bought Hillards and immediately set about closing the stores that didn't have the capacity to be converted to Tesco stores. I was part of the team that wound down the Wakefield Hillards, which was a strangely emotional experience, since I remember going there on the bus from Lupset with my Mum, for the Friday big shop.'"
Its funny you should say that because me and my mum used to go with my Grandma on a thursday to Hillards after walking round the market then we went home with her to Lupset on the bus, I vaguely remember one of those buses where we driver was seperate to the main bus and it had a conducter to collect the fares, the bus went along horbury road then up Broadway, she lived on Aysgarth Drive before it became a drug den...ah memories..

I'm not surprised, it will be the car park charge and the fact you cant just pop in to buy things like the old one. Sainsburys was also handy for a cash machine you could just get of the car and walk to...

The car park is free if you shop at the Sainsburys. You have to get your ticket validated when you pay for your shopping.

That bus was, I think, the 103.
We used to live at the bottom of Broadway right next to the fields that eventually got swallowed up by the Dr's surgery then Aysgarth Estate; no offence to your Nan, but Aysgarth ruined that part of Lupset.

I've been to Trinity Walk and Sainsbury's a number of times and not paid to park once. Even then its 80p an hour.

| Used to catch the Ossett 20 (120) with my mum and about 16 Hillards shopping bags, it was amazing to see all the mums who'd mastered the art of carrying so many bags full of shopping without breaking sweat.
