God knows but you have to ask this. If BV is now a prime bit of real estate which the council is unable to secure and develop then what does that ma Balne lane!
Nothing ever adds up with WMDC. |

Exactly what I thought...
Racking my brains trying to think where it could go, perhaps over the road from the new (ish) housing estate. Massive patch of land there but I'm not sure how it would sit around the area. |

Apparently the old playing fields, not used much anymore. I have been there and cannot think of the Access roads being up to it especially the motorway network. They are still looking at the belle view option also. |

This is from a greenspace report released in 2016 by Wakefield Council
"Balne Lane Fields will be enhanced for recreation including a proposal to create sports fields to serve
Wakefield College. A master plan is required for this site."
Obviously this is only my interpretation but I don't see how if it's proposed to be suitable for Wakefield College how it can then be also suitable for a Super League standard stadium. I don't see it as feasible.

| Just had a look and YES it could work - ideal in many ways especially close to the town centre and the bus and train station.
If there was the drive and imagination then.... errr.... but and there is the rub - I can see the College being up for it and maybe even the club but the real driving force required that being WMDC then forget it. Every option they come up with seems to require more effort than the last which is totally at odds with the Councils lack of will displayed so far to make any of these plans happen!
Sorry but IMHO there is nothing to see here unless you believe in miracles and I no longer do  |

Genuine political will is all that we need.
Sadly, with regards to Trinity, this has been totally lacking for all of my years supporting Trinity.
The Newmarket plan could still happen if the political will was there to drive it through but, it appears that what we have instead, is yet another white elephant, something that give the non RL public the impression that WMDC actually give a toss.
Should we even dare to mention funding for their new idea or is this just another fag packet idea ?
We are already on borrowed time and WMDC will know this.
They are happy to string us along, hoping that Trinity either fold or are relegated.

Cracking location in isolation, however access would be a real issue. No way is the road network geared up for any sort of crowd round there. I would say its worse than Belle Vue.
I found this piece from back in 2010 which makes interesting reading (for those who are actually interested in this subject!):
https://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news ... e-1-974835
and this;
Balne Lane Playing Fields (SF15): The site is allocated for Sports Facilities in the emerging Leisure, Recreation and Open Space Local Plan. Proposals include creating new rugby and football pitches and ancillary facilities for Wakefield College and wider community use. A Strategic Leisure Corridor through the site linking Thornes Park, Wrenthorpe Park and Alverthorpe Meadows will also be created. There is potential to develop other community sports facilities within the site and provide some ecological enhancements along Balne Beck. The Playing Pitch Strategy will include an assessment of sports pitch requirements.

If the council don't know by now where we can have a stadium then we're stuffed. I can't believe this
continued saga which has been going on for longer than two world wars.
We're talking about a simple (relatively!) sports stadium not a major shopping complex, that has now been going on for years and made WT the laughing stock of RL, and WMDC not far behind.
