from what I have been able to see... all of the new branding is of outstanding quality! I can imagine the inside of the new stand will be as good if not better in the next few weeks....
I woke up this morning in time to listen to the Ellis interview on Radio Leeds... even after a lifetime of the disappointment/ low expectation of being a Trinity fan... its hard not to get excited by this man!

You can’t cater for ….. everyone (tactful word replacement).
Some people could be given step by step clear instructions and still struggle or get lost. Nothing much to be done about that but they get there in the end.

Yes I noticed the improvements too and they are all to the good. My only comment is that the lobby to the stand has very little natural light and I would not have painted the walls black or very dark blue. A lighter coloured paint would have made it seem far brighter.
However it's much better than the plain breeze blocks . I will repeat not a complaint ,only my opinion

The biggest compliment that I can give the club is that the Fox Stand doesn't feel like it's at Wakefield, it's quality.
Easy access, great facilities and a cracking view.
It's been a long time coming but, it's bang on.

| I wish Matt Ellis would hurry up and spend all his money, what’s he waiting for, why hasn’t he built a West Stand yet
Totally unacceptable

| Wondering if anyone knows if the plans for the old changing rooms/hospitality building in the corner are still planned to go ahead? Wasn’t the council 2 million set aside for that part of the re development as that was for the community. Or has it been absorbed by the east stand build

Not as far as I remember.
The plans were to develop it but it was all Wakefield and other community investor money.
I think Ellis said he had different plans now.

MC I think in an interview last year said that it was still going ahead but it would be after the east stand was built. I would presume there was money allocated for the refurbishment to a gym/shower rooms etc over 2 floors but if Ellis has different ideas then maybe we will see other refurbs in the ground.
As it stands though the last official message from the club was that this work on the south east is going ahead. I expect that will still be the case as a fan with no insider knowledge.
Hopefully it wasn’t soaked up in the east stand on top of all the other cutbacks endured.

As far as I understood it from when we did the forums, we spent the money on the stand and North Stand etc.
The Rollin Shack was a phase 2.
They had plans but it wasn't part of the original money. They were working with the building company and Wakefield college to build and then use it.
But unless they signed some contracts that is all just ideas now and it's down to Ellis to decide.
He isn't bound by what Carter and Minards wanted to do in the past.
Though personally I liked the ideas.

Don’t suppose as fans we will ever know regards money and funding and probably don’t need to.
I’m sure whatever Ellis decides to do it will be to maximise revenue for the club as a whole.
Looking forward to seeing how the new banner looks on west stand but just curious as to where they are planning to put the scoreboard that’s currently up there. Looking at the mock up it looks like the screen will be covered or have to be relocated.

Yes I thought the same about the banner.

Usually the big screen follows gameplay doesn’t it?
I’m sure it’ll either be relocated or something else will be used. I don’t think it’s that old though is it? Only a few years I think but may wrong.
