Nice to see/read about his missus getting involved.

Shame. Looked good.

Surely that's just a proposed shop and the bar and terrace will go ahead within the ground? Gonna be a poor view of the game from out there.

Thought it said Kat Slater there.

For me it is best to make non money earning areas in to money makers first.

Putting the shop and a cafe where the other building is, is new income. And might mean you can let Ridings one go.

Whereas Rollin Shack and old club house is still usable, so although in need of an upgrade, would be second on my list.
I guess it depends what you can make out of it.

A sports bar and grill would be great. Somewhere to go for a few beers and watch a great selection of sports like S/L-NRL -NFL- NBA -UFC -Boxing. There is nowhere in Wakefield that does that properly and tbf I’d rather go there then into Wakefield.

Do you mean in Rollin Shack or Instead of the old building?
I think the old building location makes it a brand opportunity. So putting a bar there might not work. But the opportunity of a sports bar is something to look at I agree.

I thought the sports bar and restaraunt with sky terrace was on the cards to start this off season replacing the rollin shack and maybe even more space in the south east corner. As far as I know the plans for that haven’t changed. That said I think he was going to include a club shop in that south east corner.

Now that the purchase of the other building I suspect means the club shop could now go there opening up more space in the Soutg east.

There is scope to probably move things around but there was mention that Ellis would like to improve gym facilities for players. There is only so much space to do this.

Could the newly squired building become a player gym/performance centre instead? With the club shop continuing to be in the south east with the new grill?

I’m not sure if the footprint would be big enough for a gym in the newly acquired building but if there is then it could be an option without affecting others final plans for south east.

I would guess with this going on that we any work on the west or north would be after next season?

It’s more important to get the player facilities and the club earning more revenue off match day so that the club becomes more sustainable and profitable.

Plus with the grill and bar it is effectively on match day another hospitality facility.

There’s so much that could be done but I’m sure Ellis has his priority lists.
