Depends. Leeds had problems with the barriers they installed in the south stand in 2000 IIRC. It wasn't the barriers themselves but how they were installed into the concrete terracing. By 2008 it caused a reduction in capacity even with £250k of work done. Then 4 years later it cost another £500k to put the problem right. Apparently the way they were installed weakened the strength of the stand.
I'm by no means a builder or construction expert so no idea if that's the case here, but just highlighting how the barriers can cause problems!

| I Remember going to Belle vue last year and first thing i noticed is how the terracing seemed to be sinking, maybe that's a part of the problem.? apart from putting a roof over a couple of old terresces I can't remember Wakefield ever plowing money into their stadium, always preferring to spend on the first team instead. That's I think where your club got itself into a big mess.

I don't agree with all this pee taking, at the end of the day it's the fans that get hurt the worst if anything happens to their club, I just think WHEN you get this mess sorted your BOD have really got to start ticking the correct boxes when it come to running an RL club, it's ok having a decent team on the field every other year but the team isn't everything, the facilities are just as important, Wakefield fans deserve to watch the greatest game in the world from good facilities just as much as any other fans do, your new BOD need to keep ontology of everything from now on and try keep you in the papers for the right reasons, it's just seems like there's something every other year with Wakefield it's got to stop for the sake of the wakey fans and RL in general.

There's a brand new stadium lurking in the background, but its delivery is based on a s106 agreement; before construction starts, the developer needs to build out something like 60,000m2 of warehousing/distribution facilities. The first element is sold, but that leaves a way to go. Best estimates are that works will start in 2015.
In the meantime, thanks to the manoeuvrings of a previous Chairman, BV is actually owned by the Bank of Ireland; that may explain the reluctance of the new BoD to over-invest in a facility that will a) become superfluous to requirements b) isn't owned by the club and c) now operates in a comp where minimum standards have fallen by the wayside.
It's just a shame that BV wasn't considered iconic enough to be saved from evil property developers by the governing body; although I doubt they'd be naïve enough to do that for one club but not for another.

I'm not an expert but I would guess 8k is achievable because the actual capacity is around 11k.
The majority of the ground is standing. Approx 2000 down either side 5k behind the sticks, 1500 seats and 500 in the hospitality box.

| Shows how stupid it 'twas for the RFL to insist on ground improvements as part of a continued presence in SL, wakefieldar e proving that an old club who wins on the field should just be left to get on with it, it's a proven success........oh.
Must be heartbreaking for Wakefield fans, just as the club seemed to be getting back on their feet, another big setback. Their is space and potential for a big club in that area, one to rival Leeds and Wigan, unfortunately we saw 100 years of three clubs worrying about being the biggest club in the WF postcode rather than trying to be the biggest in the country. Wakefield need their new stadium, if they can get it, they can sort their future, if not it's likely a slow death awaits. The same goes for Cas. We could very well end up with no professional RL left in the WF postcode n the next few years. Let's hope not

| Steady on smokey. This time last year things weren't good for Cas but things are looking up. I know your return of serve will be stadia related, watch this space...

| Surely the biggest issue here is the admission to only selling 2k season tickets. The ground will get resolved, but how do they resolve their low ST sales?

| Don't think Wakefield fans are too fussed about the issue. The shedding of all these crocodile tears is amusing though.
