Just been reading up on these Vastman, yes this would be a much cheaper option and could work, although not sure of the viabilty of it as being a permanent solution, though at the moment, it looks like the only solution.

Not sure as to whether or not the RFL would buy into it, and can imagine some of the comments from our great friends over the common, especially with their new stadium being approved. Out of curiosity, has the building work on this started as yet?

One cost to consider, stating that the stands and seating are temporary, and can be removed, there would be contractor costs.

Should Newmarket ever happen, or any other site for that matter, and as the stands are classed as temporary. perhaps parts of it could be transported to the new site, which then would reduce the cost of a new stadium.

In the short term, this could be a better alternative to Dewsbury

As regards the RFL they had no issues when London were at Harlequins which was at the time half temporary seating and nowhere near as sophisticated as this. So long as it passes all safety criteria etc they won't care, especially as the suff I'm talking about will be indistinguishable from permanent structure on TV.

I'm sure some reciprocal deal could be done with a supplier where they maintain and erect at BV in return for use of our gear for rental when we are not using it. I know that's a bit vague but you get the idea.

Very good point about N/M never thought of that.

Another area close to the town centre which I'd have thought would be possible is Silcoates School. They have loads of land which is already used for sports (around 10 full size rugby pitches) and access is quite good. I'd hazard a guess that for the right price and useage deal they'd entertain the idea of having a 10k stadium in their grounds (think of the bragging rights!)

Top work vastman brilliant idea , could it be built with in a perimeter fence ? Just thinking about security,location = thornes

I can't see that tbh. I think the best option would be a council owned piece of land for various reasons, not least they owe it us. This way they can lease us some land at a cheap rate without having to invest in it or sell and thus circumvent any opposition. Technically the land will remain council owned, untouched and available.

Some work put into the presentation Vasty with some cracking looking stadiums, hope one could come off

Not sure but sports like golf (open championship/ Ryder cup ) and Olympic games have all used temporary stadium

Sorry mate, they have 4 rugby pitches, 2 of which are full size plus, an all weather surface but, I dont think you have a cat in hell chance of anything there, unless the school was to shut down.
Trinity certainly had a good relationship with the school though and used to train there sometimes, I dont know if that is still the case.

Going back to available land, surely Newmarket has a spot of land available, there was a time when there was going to be a community stadium and other facilities built there
Even a cash strapped council and developer couldn't wriggle out of the piece of land ?

Just as a further thought on this but looking at the wider RL picture than just ourselves.

If this idea is viable, could this be a way forward for other clubs that have recently had ground issues, such as Sheffield and York.

Quite so, it's a full stadium at around 1/4 the cost of a conventional construction. They do still cost something though and it would rely on the goodwill of the council to gift some land (or lease it for peanuts)

Is that getting houses put on it? I know somewhere around there is. That would be a great spot though as it's next to (and near other) council run sports facilities.
