Hi guys, Balne lane playing fields. You may know already but here goes, Yorkshire water have been active testing
The drainage system to the fields as per requested to them, is site investigation !
There are two fields, land locked, each playing field took up space leaving no room for stands ! Let alone access for
Fire engines etc. The beck has flooded various times over the years.
Is the club being offered a poor piece of land & inferior size, the council have a policy of little or no parking as per
Buses in people to the New Market site.
Any thoughts guys ???
I have also noted York Court are advertising selling of land at New Market, what's your thoughts ?
Is this a way around 106 agreement ??
By the way i favour Belle Vue if we can get that option.

Selling Newmarket land...is it even theirs to sell??

The former is just your opinion, the latter is old news.

The 3rd item is my opinion the others two items are facts, historic & recognized as league weekly reports problems with access.

I’d love it if we stayed at Belle Vue

"aware" is off topic really, an inaccurate title,........... would be closer.... :WHISTLE

Edited........ Don't do that. Consider this your warning.
I've given you enough chances........ Poptart

Rather move to Balne Lane, better area more central easier access.

Up the Trin

Opinions, we all have them.

What access is there at Balne Lane, ESPECIALLY where the propsed site is ??
AND however much you think it's a good idea, there isnt room for a 10/12000 capacity ground there.
There could possibly be a community facility there but no way in this world can there be a RL ground

Reading this thread, I suppose it's proof that Box's inclusion of Balne Lane into the public eye has served it's purpose.

True but reading between the lines there appears to be some truth to idea - so surely it's worth debating, it is after all what forums are for.

I agree that being relatively close to the town centre, the site could make excellent use of public transport, especially Westgate Station but, can you possibly imagine 2/3000 cars, on top of local traffic trying to get in/ out of the area.

Its an absolute non starter and unless your going to knock down half of Peacock Estate, just where are you putting a RL ground with the amenities necessary to service the ground, it's not possible.

As I said, possible community facilities and this would require a decent amount of work but new stadium no way.

Out of interest, what did you have in mind for compulsory purchase and if main access to the site is down Silcoates Street, it would make getting in and our of The AJ Bell look easy ??

Spot on Wrencat

The idea is a total non-starter and is just more smoke and mirrors from our ever-supportive Council of devious, dis-interested half-wits !!!
