Well at last some very good news and hopefully some concrete go forward at last.
What a shame it’s took so long and a so much hard work by the club and other individuals to get what at best is very little of what we all stood in front of the city hall for all those years ago and that although it will never go any further, we all now know (if we didn’t anyway) how corrupt and useless our councils are and how far developers will go to just keep taking and taking from local areas with no care for them.
So happy for us as a club.
Shame on those who have profited or tried to profit at the clubs and local people expense. Still not really seeing any real community plans like them that were supposed to be built on the Newmarket land and doubt there ever will be.
Hopefully we can eventually sort the whole of the stadium to be as good as the east stand, else this is a real kick back rather than the club changing stadium that we were promised.
But for now this is a massive win and go forward for us. But it’s still not what was promised and shame on those who have made us accept this instead of the promised vision.

If I'm buying it officially I'd expect delivery.

If I'm pinching it an haversack full will do.

As long as reprofiled means filling in the broken bits then I agree with my absolute zero expertise. The problem is its old and has broken underneath so they'll need to break the top and relay it. I assume that's what you mean.
Can't think that is a massive job.

Looking forward to my new fancy seat in the east stand.
Pity the pitch has to go but its understandable if they want to use it for community as well as just us

Great new. Time to start emailing our local councillors in support of the planning application. It seems we should also support the Newmarket development, part of our funding is dependent on their application being passed.
East stand, North stand, Rolling shack to be done first. I think this is too much work to do in one off season, but I’m no expert. No mention South end hospitality boxes or West terraces.
God, how I hope this all comes to fruition. West

From what I was told in my SWAG days there are numerous ways to mend it. The cheapest and easiest involves getting rid of loose or rotten bits then creating wooden forms and pouring super string concrete over the top. The only issue here is it won’t increase the stands capacity as its cosmetic.

However for me this is all it needs. Remember the stand has a safety certificate so decrepit though it looks it is amazingly structurally sound, that’s the bit people forget. It’s been reinforced and underpinned twice in the last 25 years. So no major structural work is required unless we intend to increase capacity or add extra permanent structures.

As I say all will be made clear. Perhaps those who made social media such an unpleasant place for MC are now regretting it. A year ago he’d have been on here answering all our questions. Oh well.

Good news, although the mention of Yorkcourt and funding in the same sentence makes me nervous. Once bitten twice shy and all that. Still fingers crossed for the umpteenth time.

Absolutely tremendous news!!!

I'm someone who normally stands infront of the East Stand - I can't tell from the drawings whether or not there will still be some standing capacity up front, however, will gladly buy a seat instead if this is to be our new East Stand.

Am absolutely chuffed to bits, November has been a great month to be a Wakefield Trinity fan!

Doesn't look like it to me, I suspect it's easier to construct one or the other rater than mix both.

This goes for me too.

You might regret saying that if your sat next to scarlet.

Is there a full plan available to see ?

This is great news for the club, in what has been a difficult year for the club.

However, in 50 years of watching, I have seen some false dawns indeed, so excited about it, but with an air of caution. I am though optimistic about it, we own the stadium now, and it would appear funding is in place
