Just had a look at the plans , i might be reading them wrong but it looks to me like the old turnstiles on Doncaster Road are going to remain . Its down to money i know but if i am right it might look a little odd .

You’ve read it wrong mate

Can’t see why it would look odd tbh.

The Doncaster rd turnstiles will be still used like they are now for the North Stand I would imagine.

Up the Trin

Currently the smartest part of the ground

Hearing a rumble that the planning meeting may have been put back again but no details and hope I'm utterly wrong. Frustrating but the backlog is huge at present, don't believe it's anything sinister.

I’ve had this feeling that there is a doubt the planning meeting will go ahead on the 18th Nov, simply because we’ve had no request from the club, for fans to support, on the planning portal, the developers planning application. I know JM is on record saying, the club will walk away from the negotiating with developers if the funding terms wasn’t right for the club. The frustrating part for me is, the past few documents added to both the applications, suggested things were going in the right direction.

I have no idea wether a final figure has been agreed b, but if not then I would of thought there would probably be some hard bargaining going on up until the last minute before it goes to planning.
There’s no point I submitting it until then.
These are just my personal thoughts but I don’t think Henry boot and yorcourt will be that bothered wether the fans give backing to their application or not.
They know fine we’ll that the carrot is the stadium that pushes their application over the line.

They are, it's purely a backlog as far as I've been told. It's not just the planning department either it needs noting. All the other organisations involved are also being slowed down by Covid etc. Responses are hard to get from other bodies involved in a way they normally aren't. It's frustrating but as far as I can tell not sinister, all the same, no point having the meeting only for it to be halted because all the boxes have not yet been ticked. I believe YC are as keen to move on as we are, although obviously on the most favourable terms they can get, but that's business rather than deciet.

The definition of the word incompetent should simply be Wakefield Council, they are the biggest set of useless idiots in the history of useless idiots.

Don't know why you sit on the fence Belly - just say what you mean!


Seriously, planning applications move at snails pace and I find it hard to accept Covid as a cause, when they moved at the same pace prior to anyone having heard or Covid.
Even with the implications of Covid surely these meetings could be virtual.
I appreciate there maybe other reasons for a delay in the applications we have interest in but Covid is not in my view one of them.
