Yes there does seem some conflict in images, but it's evident that right of way is controlled by the plot. The gym itself closes tomorrow,there were interested parties, but these pulled out. There have also been people showing interest in the site including the local Mosque on Catherine St. As a piece of land it obviously becomes a key point in the regeneration of BV and in my eyes this is the building that is being discussed behind the scenes by the council with several parties. Then again i could be wrong

The site was subject to an offer which has now gone quiet, hence coming back onto the market. It is being monitored.

Who's monitoring it and why?

"The adjoining rugby league club is currently subject to a planning approval to build around 106 new homes". What does that mean ? Homes built on the stadium site ?

IF we move to Newmarket, they will build homes on the stadium site.

Cheers.
That means a property developer has shown an interest in the site and has applied for planning permission. Things seem to be moving at last.

Got told yesterday that Newmarket is back on as the community trusts favoured option. I know MC tweeted a few days ago that Newmarket is ready to go just needs funding sorting. Belle Vue will need to be purchased and then stadium build funded and seems a more complicated option at this moment in time. Like Sir Rodney Walker has this is the most complex project he has dealt with hopefully it will finally have a successful ending.

Specifically, the Stadium Trust and the Club.

IIRC the club (or one of Ted Richardson’s then companies) was the applicant. It was done to increase the value of the land prior to the sale. At the time it looked as through Trinity were moving on. I guess it's coming around time for it to be renewed.

As I guessed but the main point is why, what can we do about it, if anything?

I'd suggest it's possibly too expensive to buy, and IF Newmarket for some reason comes off, we'd be left with a rather large and expensive plot of land, only guessing though, I've no inside info.

If it is Newmarket and we are looking for the best stadium for the funding we'd have, we should have a word with Darlington council. I'm sure they would open to offers to take the Darlington Arena off their hands, apparently it used by a RU team with not even a couple off hundred fans using it. Get it moved over to Newmarket and either keep it as it is just swap some red seats for blue ones. Or to make more individual to us make the full length stand into safe standing all the football clubs are looking to do this and you'd have companies falling over themselves to provide it to us. One end as a away stand obviously keep main stand as it is with all the corporate acilities then the other end stand keep a few seats but make the rest of the stand classroom/education facilities, this will get capacity down to about 16/17k which is ample and could also be used for cc semis and internations etc. That's the Wakefield Community Stadium sorted over to you Sir Rodney!!!

It is unfortunately no longer owned by Darlington Council, Mowden Park RFC bought and now own the ground and freehold in 2012 and I understand it is not for sale.

It's a shame that just had a look on their website it would be interesting to know how much they paid for it. Anyway how's the meetings going, are we getting any closer to progress?

Does this not put us in a very precarious position. The SuperBowl and car park appears to be openly up for sale. If Yorkcourt don't put their hands in their pockets and quick to aquire it and pass it on to the Stafium Trust then wouldnt blow the whole idea of a Belle Vue redevelopment completely away.
