With the timing of the “good news announcement” and kitwave is obviously linked. It seems we are going to get something but not what we were promised. Trouble is it looks like we will never get what were promised so we have to get the best we can now. Somebody mentioned YC playing the long wait game, sadly we can’t play that game we’ve been playing it for 10 years with YC. At this stage I will be happy is this “good news “ gets us a fit for purpose stadium and all the rumours indicate Belle Vue.

Up the Trin

Anybody on here going to the council meeting on Thursday?

It’s my intention to attend this meeting. Is it possible for someone well versed on these matters, to say if a decision on this application will likely to be announced on the day, or deferred to a later date.
Thank you

I'd lay even money that if the Kitwave application gets nodded through then we'll hear some good news more or less straight after. If it doesn't get the nod I suspect any 'good news' will no longer be forthcoming and we'll have another fudge.

I've locked the other thread as the opening post was actually only a ? which I can hardly moderate to keep on track.

Please leave this as a sensible update or comments on the stadium and related topics. I'll clean up if there are troll posts and arguing on it. This one people actually need to be able to see if there is real news.

I've pulled out the latest comments about the stadium. Apologies if you have one left behind. I can add it if you feel it needs to be in this one.

You have to be joking!

Sadly it ain't. I don't know if they are selling it piecemeal but the main stand would fit nicely where the flats currently stand.

If we are going to end up developing BV ourselves this is how you do it as Fev have. If you got it cheap and used fan labour as Snowie suggests you could get a new end for possibly less than a million!

Maybe the west terrace could be replaced by that long terrace, looks about the same size.

The rest of its not much use but imho you could make the above work.

I know it's not perfect and the normal know it alls will be on but I personally think its a good spot by Klav - we really are beggars at the moment like it or not.

I'd take the terrace behind the goals and the touchline.





Much better than anything BV has to offer.

A tidy little ground that puts both of ours to shame (I’m fed up)!

The stands seem to comfortably fit the terracing, but the capacity is only half of that we are looking for - 6000 as opposed to 12000. If we were able to obtain some, or all, of the stands we would still have a lot of uncovered area.

Desperation defies logic.

The stands are too small.

We need capacity to be at least 10,000 and those side stands just are not big enough.

It's hardly likely to happen, however the terracing is probably most of that 6k alone leaving 5k or so to find for other two sides of the ground. Belle Vue itself won't fit much more than this on the current footprint anyway.
