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.

They only sold land to extend what they had in front of the school in the late 80's. They sold 2 rugby fields and an athletics track where Silcoates drive and Silcoates Avenue is and around the same time they sold the land they had behind Toll Bar Lane , which is now called the Mount. There's absolutely no chance though Silcoates would have a Wakefield Trinity Stadum on their Land, wouldn't get past the Board of Governors.

Anyway interesting read Vasty , some good ideas in there.

You need the players lounge the correct size - I believe York do not have that at the soccer stadium

Can this really happen ? If so let's get ball rolling !
