Well once the west and north stand are completed belle vue will be much more welcoming for away supporters and for us home it will add a touch more atmosphere.

As the full length of the west stand isn't being completed are there any outstanding monies that could be used to spruce up the place a touch?

Looking a good quality and better than I expected.

In fairness, all the bars and restaraunts in the hospitality areas have already been fully re-fitted and refurbished, together with both new shops and the extra function room; by the time these stands have been erected, Mr G will have invested more in BV in 1 year than the total spend in the past ten years.

I think he could reasonably be expected to put his chequebook away for a bit and let the people of Wakey repay some of his investment by continuing to turn out in numbers!

Indeed!

Good pic on WT Facebook page!

Can't do that the floodlights are hinged in such a way as the lower along the walk ways.

Its a pity really because what you have suggested would look really good and be quite easy to build.

If that is the price of putting a little bit steel and girders for a section roughly 30m in length I think he has had his pocket well and truly pinched!

Can see that being a very popular spot when the inevitable rain comes.

Tell sky not to come anymore ,Just keep sending the money .

That would be more likely!

I have to say that the stand roof looks the part. A much higher spec than the approved meccano tin roofs. I would think that Wakey fans will be happy to stand under therein the dry, as will we "away fans" at the back of the North terrace.

Looking at the photos of the steelwork, the structure does have the look of permanency, far removed from something that has to be torn down in 20 months time.

AG or whoever may be trying to pull off a fait accompli to extend the planning approval should there be any delays with NM if it gets the nod, or plan B if it's turned down.

At least you may have a plan B.

If the newmket gets turned down. The structures look of a good enough standard to last the next 3 year license period. There may be a further inclusion in next application that further improvements will be done to the east stand for example.

Should these stands effectively be paid for over 3 years there is no reason why further improvements can't be drafted up. That said the capacity at belle vie will not be 12,000 or over and the club may never own the ground.

All the above hopefully won't matter should Newmarket get the go ahead which I hope it does. Wakefield could achieve around 10,000 in my opinion with the Newmarket stadiumand the club would really rise from the ashes to the clouds.

Things are on the up either way.

Hope that corner doesn't get overrun by normal people just there to watch the rugby,it's more a social event in there!

aren't you being looked after

Yep, that's what I meant.
