Don't know if its relevant or not but as far as planning permission is concerned there was a stand in the same location within living memory (well my living memory anyway), hence its got precedence, whereas the WT at Headingley has never had one.

Ingenious. Presumably the fans can also shelter there while waiting for the no. 110.

Belle Vue has changed quite a lot down the years but I can't remember when it looked like this : www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyl ... delay.html

I think it's the old Doncaster Rovers FC ground of the same name.

You suspect right, it's Belle Vue Doncaster.

Not a bad effort for the Mail though, at least it's not the Manchester speedway track.

I remember going to belle vue as a young lad,and even in the 70s I thought Belle vue was one of the most picturesque grounds in the league ,with those 3 stands.I alway's like Parkside too.Of course those safety standards put paid to stadiums like that

I am led to believe that the Libdem councillor who opposed the planning application for the redevelopment of the Southstand which led to it having to be scaled down,has lost his seat.I wonder if a new application with the original plans would now be possible?dont think so,but I am pleased he was ousted

Presumably he was representing the views of his constituents, but not enough of them. Sod this localism.
