I went to school there, left in 1962, played plenty of Rugby on those fields, i believe Westgate Common RL played their games there at one time, difficult to think nothing has been built on some of that land in the past 60 years, but it could be an ideal site for community sports development.

West gate wolves were the last team to play out of there, it’s a bit of a sad tale what happened and the monies that went missing and debts left, over a hundred kids left with no club overnight. Would be a good spot due to the fencing, although I’m not 100% sure there is enough field space for what is ultimately required

A large chunk of Snapey's sports fields had been given over to housing last time I had a nostalgic walk around the outside perimeter. .

I think it was an opening proposal by a developer that neither the council nor the locals really warmed to. That Brook Farm alternative is mainly on a massive slope so I can't see it being suitable as an alternative WY Sports site anyway.

I played at this venue about from '81 through to '84 for the now defunct Castle ARLFC... really good space and always had fantastic potential... good friends and good memories.

What about just around the corner on Neil Fox Way, i know there's loads of house building going on but if i remember rightly,large areas are also for use as industrial,pub restaurants etc, leisure facilities.
Does WMDC own this land,or is it privately owned?
Anyway would be ideal if there was space available to build our own facilities.

Don’t know anything about planning but if ME plans to build a new west terrace could height be a problem with the neighbours just asking???

Potentially, but there is a precedent, certainly where the cabins are.

Not sure if it would, i can remember the old wooden West stand that was demolished after the Bradford stadium fire, along with just about every other wooden stadium stands,(how did Cas get away with it.).
The height of our old Western stand was quite considerable, so perhaps we could use that as leverage.

Ok so ME could say well we had a stand here previously at said height ?

Yes, and there is a structure already there. else he buys all the posts behind and removes the issue completely!

The old stand having been there years possibly before the houses were built set the precedent I would suggest so pp should not be an issue on the height of a structure.
