That's not on the BV and car park 'footprint' is it?
This was 'new' accommodation.
Or are you referring to the Benidorm flats?

The latter.

Chuck in a few camp beds and Bob's your uncle.

A lot of football grounds have apartments/ office blocks in the corners of the stadium

Why not develop the East Stand at Belle Vue as suggested then use one of Vasty's temporary stands for the West side. I know that there are issues with services but there must be existing drains etc from the days when the Main Stand was there. Leave the North end and Benidorm flats until finance/time permits. Would still rather have a brand new Newmarket as I don't think amongst houses in Agbrigg is the best of locations but if Newmarket is dead...............

Just been reading this Vasty.

Firstly. Sorry to hear you have been unwell. I hope you are on the mend.

You have obviously done your homework on this.

I think this could definately be a goer, and on a personal note, living on the doorstep of Thornes Park just about, I would have no issues on making that journey whatsoever. For those who use public transport, I believe there is a bus from Wakefield that stops right outside the ground. I believe it is the 117.

Personally, I would prefer Dewsbury more of a short term fix, and for Belle Vue to have a full re fit.

If that were to happen, one of the complaints of our stadium is in the past is that the vantage points are too low, so I think the stands and terracing etc would need to be raised a little

Living on the doorsteps of thornes park that's where our community stadium should be perfect location and should have happened.

If a full refit is beyond budget of whomsoever is funding, has anyone any idea as to what parts of Belle Vue are serviceable/safe and for how long.
For example could the North stand and East stand still be used for a while whilst the west side of the ground is developed.
That would surely satisfy Superleague requirements,if allied to that, plans were in place for further staged development.

Are st still in communication with York court,when was the last meeting between them or has everything broke down completely

"However, the area around Belle Vue resembles nothing more than a building site and Carter says the Dewsbury move could be back on by Easter."

I think that's called upping the anti - let's hope it works

Vasty

I don't think he is bluffing ,I know MC and CB are really worried about a claim against the club and now he has stated the fact publicly , I am sure that is the main reason for leaving BV. You know the ground as well as anyone and I am sure you agree its only a matter of time before someone starts a claim for injury caused at a game. I am convinced this is our last season at BV.
