newgroundB4cas can write that cheque out to the taxman now.

Wonderful, wonderful news for the club, the city and all the loyal, down-trodden Wakey fans.

A huge thank you to all of you who have worked so hard and diligently for this moment.



It is so rare that we get such good news about the club.

I'm so happy I could cry

What you mean is that you hope it goes to public enquiry. Stop digging at our project cos yours has run into the rocks. Vent your bitterness at Dickie Wright!

What opposition is this the, as far as I'm aware it consists of one individual and his numerous other personalities. The level of opposition is, was and remains very small and really only exists in the minds of those who wish it to be the case.

very little opposition in truth. no one outside protesting against it today (think i heard that two of the opposition speakers never turned up either)

I think we should name the stadium after TRB or build a a statue of the man..

Don't rise to the bait,just enjoy the moment!!

So what now then?

28 days for any objections and then all systems go? ETA for the diggers is when?

You Beauty.

Phew !

It doesn't matter whether you can see it. The people with all the information have decided that there isn't enough opposition. End of.

Fantastic news, lets just hope and prey now that they hand it back to the council without the need for a public enquiry. Lets hope that this is the dawn of a bright new era and the catalyst for the return of the Trin.

lets hope the players give 110% next season and see BV off in style and hope the benefactor maybe puts some money in for top class players.

Nice one... might even renew my season ticket now

great news!!!!

a friend of mine is there and he's not heard any thing yet though

the sooner there is an official announcement the better!

Good god man you'll make his head explode.

Seriously though you have a point.

There are many who deserves some credit but three in particular spring to mind.

One is TRB who due to certain unfortunate incidents has had to fight the SWAG cause almost single handed on occasion. Despite this he has had to face ridicule and abuse on this very forum, continually defending the clubs position as best he could and never losing his rag. One of the main reasons I stopped posting is bcause I have not got that level of self control and thus didn't want to antagonise the situation. The club and fans owe TRB a huge debt.

Two is Prince Buster who until a recent problem was like a pitbull in his determination to NOT allow WMDC to dodge it's responsibilities. Many a Wakefield politician will be glad not to be on the wrong side of PB for a change.

Third and the one I feel very strongly about, Ted Richardson. He has had to take endless abuse (club run like a corner shop and other such drivel) for the way he has run the club from a bunch of ignorant self serving fools. Yet it was Ted who picked up the pieces after the Thornes fiasco and it was he who found Yorkcourt and got the show back on the road. This despite massive financial problems of his own that would frankly of forced a lesser man to walk away.

However today is a great day and a new start for ALL on both sides, so let's let bygones be bygones and move on. Well done to all.

A statue of TRB -that I'd like to see

Congratulations guys! Certainly worth all the rough times you've had over the past few months.

Quick question: is this for outline planning permission or full approval?

Very important to note that is was a unanimous result, no abstainers, none against.

Outline, 'minded to approve' afaik, subject to "the removal of a direction by the Highways Agency concerning travel plans for the development and whether central government decides to call the application for a potential public inquiry", according to the YP

Outline.

Outstanding news! This is the start of something very special! Now is the time to get behind the club to make sure you don't miss out!

Special thanks to all those who have worked so hard, TRB & Swag, all those at the club and of course Ted Richardson. Well done guys, you've made many people very happy! Now go have a drink on me!

Fantastic News... I still want to see the detail.

Our thanks go to Swag, especially Phil. Also the Wakefield Community Trust, our BOD, esp Ted and anyone else involved.

I am absolutely beaming

This is fantastic. Well done WMDC, well done Ted, TRB, Diane, everybody at the club, all SWAG, everyone who signed the petition, Sir Rod and anybody and everybody who supported the plan. Lets see it through to full approval now and build ASAP.

I still have close to zero trust in the RFL and their highly questionable decisions, this however is more fuel to our fire shows we are a club of ambition. A sleeping giant who will soon awake again.

Wakefield 'til I die!
