Was told by someone at trin on the staff that they were waiting for news on Newmarket .if it was a all clear then they weren't going to spend money on BV when it could be best spent elsewhere.

Can't see how they could get away with that, plus even trying not to develop BV as indicated would mean the credibility of the new regime would be called into question by the RFL

It's only what I heard,I totally agree with you,every time I go to BV I hope and pray that some building work has started.

in fairness to the club. the season doesnt technically finish for anpther week. give them a chance to start the building. although i do think they should have had the plans to have it start immediately at the end of the season knowing we wouldnt have achieved any play off game.

Nothing will be done at Belle Vue til January, then 3 weeks from start to finish.

Its been said it will only take a month to complete the works but what about the North terrace? Arent they going to knock that down and build a new terrace for the new stand? or have I got that wrong? Wont that take longer than three weeks?

The bottom line is the sooner we're out of BV (mkI or II) and into NM the better.

Those who were in the emergency meeting in Stanley following the news of the PI thought having to wait 18 months for a conclusion was the end of the world, but yet the lions share of that time is now done and we're into the "business end" of that period now.

For me the CURRENT tone of feeling was set with the publication of the 3 statements last month; from YC, WMDC & LCC.
WMDC and YC made a very good case for the necessity, suitably & special circumstances: all of which seem all the more relevant now with the new national planning framework & economic need for development. While the LCC are clinging to no more than jealousy and a one word defense "GREENBELT".

As I have said all along I believe the LCC are playing a very cunning game. They will fight this application (with no intention of winning, merely to establish terms for their own similar developments).
By putting up a fight whilst wanting to fail the LCC can essentially have their cake and eat it. - They appease their NIMBY's in Methley and can look them in the eye whilst shaking their hands in defeat and saying "We tried our best!", whilst licking their lips at the development opportunities this will throw up on their side of the M62.

YC & the WDCT seem to have all the key players coming together at the right times, this is Sir Rodney's ball park & an area he is truly world class in! Put it this way Richard Wright would love to have a flick through SRW's black book of contacts with regard to stadium development. Whilst he has been very quiet in recent months (& very gracious about the finance fiasco of last year) I expect him to begin to work his magic in coming weeks & months.
This bloke has a hell of a lot of sway in circles most of us will never move in. He will be the biggest asset to us over the off season IMO.

Sums it up perfectly GPFC.

i just hope batman doesnt show
