these that are objecting I suggest are frighten that stanley will be taken over by vast amount of drunken hooligans, in the past few days the millwall / west ham fracas it enough to put anybody of sport all together, no one knows the package as yet as is not gone public, I wouldn't mind its not really in stanley village as such, there's a small row of house on the left before the planned site

another good review of the situation!
you swine!



yeah its about 6 houses and looks like a good spot for last of the summer wine!

but they are entitled to complain and we are entitled to ignore them.

I would move in thought we would get it at junction 41 when it fell through last time in fact I was digging the foundations, had to fill them in again

planning application is to be submitted shortly and that is full planning permission ie what the stadium will look like road access and other facilities. This has been brought forward has the project has gathered pace with funding been put in place etc, York court have been busy with this for the last few months.

everything is looking good

Exiting times if that's the case! Just one question if
anyone knows, what will happen with the current hospitality suites ie
little benidorm! Will it be sold on and used towards funding
for the ground or go towards team strengthening etc?

We will send them back for credit.
Trouble is I don't think we paid the full amount for them when we entered the CVA.(I think it's called that but maybe wrong)

heard salford is interested in the full block

That was a crying shame that Caddick was able to keep YCCC at Headingley and both Wakefield as a city, and Yorkshire as a club, didn't get a stadium they deserved. The boost that would have given the area, I believe, would have made building a rugby stadium or two much, much easier.

Not again!!! Why do we always have to put up with a bunch of killjoys whenever this club is trying to move forward. What's this about a nature reserve planned for the old Newmarket Lane colliery site, eh? Bloody news to me! Honestly, I'm not been funny with the residents of that part of Stanley, but there other places in the Wakefield district where nature lovers can see all kinds of wildlife:

BRETTON COUNTRY PARK (NOT THE SCUPLTURE PARK)
PUGNEYS
WINTERSETT RESERVOIR
HEMSWORTH WATERPARK
NOSTELL PRIORY
NEWMILLERDAM
THE COUNTRYSIDE SURROUNDING HEATH COMMON AND WARMFIELD
ANYWHERE ON THE BANKS OF THE CALDER/HEBBLE CANAL

Adding to that for birdwatchers

HORBURY LAGOON
THORNES PARK
OR FAIRBURNINGS FOR THE REALLY DESPERATE.

We've already been rejected/let down by the council for a previous site and my father at his previous job at the council was sometimes able to gain access to the planning department and they have said that once we have a new ground, Belle Vue's going to be sold and turned into a housing estate, so developing what we have got at the moment is not an option at all.

So I urge all Trinity supporters to bombard the Wakefield Express/council in the coming weeks with letters pleading our case for the new ground that we need so desparately, because after all, this is not some off-the-cuff-hobby or eighty minutes worth of folly are even a shocking for of refundable-warranting violence as a dear "friend" of ours in Durkar believes it to be. This is part of Wakefield's culture, heritage and lifestyle we are talking about and without people who would like to see us move forward, all of it will disappear, forever. And do we really want to see our city become to outsiders a poor-relation suburb of Leeds (which we all know it definitely is not!) only famous for rhubarb, a crop originally associated with Mongolia and Siberia and a prison that houses some of the most notorious and sadistic criminals in the country and do we really want be known for that? Do we?!?!?!?!

I can understand why non-rugby people would be bothered if they live round there. I wouldn't want, for example, an ice hockey rink on a field behind my house.

Politically easier this time though. The Thornes area was more of a Tory hotspot, and so it gave the Conservatives a reason to object. Also, Thornes Park has more of an emotional pull for the city, as it is the city's park. A lot less people will be as bothered about the site of an old colliery by the motorway, and so politically less of a problem for all parties.
