Thought I'd start this so folk can add any updates they come across so as to keep folk as well informed as possible, pin it maybe mods? I'll kick off with this I found on the net, it's the architect's own site and gives a few more pics and bits of info, not much but a bit. Enjoy https://www.afl-architects.com/news/pla ... evelopment

Maybe but I suspect the main raise will come from relayed safe terracing. I'll tell you what though, it feels like more than 1500 are in it at times.

I'll be honest, it's hard to place things on those drawings, some of it doesn't look much like BV.

Thanks for the link Vasty.
The artists impressions look superb and everything remains crossed for the planning to get through quickly.
It's been a (very) long time coming.

Not Vasty, anyway.

Unlike other efforts, these look feasible.

Personally, I love it, basically, it's BV as it's been for the last 30 years but in modern form. All the familiarity and atmosphere retained but new or refurbished and fit for purpose. Above all it's affordable and the important corporate/community bit has been done first and the rest can be done in stages later on as cash permits.

One very obvious question having looked at the new stand. *where are the Hospitality boxes? I ask because I want to book a couple of tables for my 75th birthday, May 2022.

Thanks FC, but I don’t think that could be possible. The Current Hospitality flats are sadly, really not fit for purpose. I’m sure John Minards, indicated the new Hospitality area would be included in the rebuilt East Stand. I hope so anyway.

There is Q&A session with Mr Minards and Mr Carter on Thursday I think. Hopefully more detail will be discussed there and relayed to us fans.

We will see, but they are still on the plans with no suggestion that they will be removed. There are also no boxes in the plans for the east stand. I think they will remain for now. I do think however, weddings, parties etc will be done in the new stand.

There is hospitality in the new stand, but not boxes.

Maybe they can be retro-fitted when the finances are better??

Possibly but I imagine they will replace those boxes in the next phase with a new stand that will have boxes, possibly attached to the Rollin shack.

Is it just me ? The biggest ‘eyesore’ at Belle Vue is surely the western terrace. I wonder why there are no plans for development there.

If memory serves, JM said that there would a hospitality suite in the East stand, not boxes.
When this opens, maybe knock the flats down and replace it with boxes in that new build??

Cos that's where we stick the six-fingered brigade and Dirty Leeds......
