I believe it will be ready to go from the first game.

It does help. Thank you.

Nice one. It’ll definitely do a job, like you say it’s a cost effective measure to also allow for more income through potential sponsorship. Be good to see it in person. With the new pitch, development of the east underway and tarting up of the North stand, that will do for me. I must just be easily pleased

Sorry PB but whilst I hate to admit it, Headingley and Cas away terracing offers far better environment and sight lines than Wakefield and they’re considerably cleaner and more accessible

Thanks for the information and insight Vasty.

No qualms with the club on the development of Belle Vue.

Personally, I was never really in favour of Newmarket, and was asking for years, why can’t the old girl just be redeveloped.

The other week, I did feel a bit miffed about it being scaled back, but I do get it, and the fact that the increase in cost of materials.

If anything, I would like to see further development to the west and south. I know we say that we’re not bothered about away fans, but we’ve been away fans in a poor area of a stadium. I’ve been in that Western terrace, albeit about 15-20 years ago, and is poor, viewing wise, I think.

The Benidorm flats have been useful for us, but only really looks a temporary fix. It did when they went up, and still do now, I feel.

I don’t know the answers or solutions to this, but I know it would be further costs.

However, Rome wasn’t built in a day

To be honest, we'd probably be marketed better if we gave the Sky commentators a better place to sit.

Flats have to stay until we have millions spare to build something others standard of East Stand.
I'm in there a lot. Earns money and is a good view.

I totally agree about the viewing platform, but the point I was making was obviously no cover. No doubt it needs upgrading, but obviously don’t think it will be anytime soon.

Hopefully it will earn more money once the New East stand is fully functional, I believe the intention is to rent some of the current hospitality boxes as commercial/office spaces. All depends on how the Economy outlook develops.

No it’s not an over reaction.

There is already a thread 80 pages long regarding the development.

This thread is purely about the development as it is and what I’ve found out and what I’ll ask JM about.

The west and south parts of the ground are irrelevant because they are not part of this development. Rightly so imo but if you don’t agree there is already a thread for that.

On this occasion this thread is intended purely to deal with actual issues regarding the current development. I have my own opinions on the stadium as a whole and what we are doing now but it’s the opinions of those in charge I’m dealing with.

Please let’s get what we have sorted as best we can and face the next hurdle when we’ve jumped this one. Let’s not make this another club bashing thread.

Thanks

Yes they do but we can’t fix that now.

OH dear,
Another rant, you sound like Nellie Olsen

The title of the thread is ‘Stadium Development Part 2
Nothing about exclusively talking about only the things you want to talk about

Maybe you should start your own forum and only allow your own opinions on it

I must be getting soft because i keep agreeing with you. Yes I dont see a problem with the flats. The viewing is probably the best in the ground and the facilities are good. You are also right about sky and the media. A good solution would be to dedicate a couple of boxes to be converted to a sky studio and give them some nice facilities. Those boxes on the West side are terrible and I am suprised they are not being bull dozed while we have the machinery on site. No wonder putting the media in that monstrosity gets us bad press

Lol. That's worrying. A good stiff drink should put things back to normal
