Someone has told me recently they’re looking at temporary seats on the west terrace, but I can’t remember who. No idea if it’s true or they misheard, but I’d have thought that would take quite a bit of work.

Possibly.

Not difficult tbh, some brilliant temporary stands are available these days.

I was thinking about the state of the terracing already there and the height the front part would need raising to, but I really don’t have a clue when it comes to things like that. If it can be done cheaply and made to look decent, what would stop it becoming more of a medium term stand rather than temporary? Could it be left up for a few years because I’m whatever ever they decide I’m sure it would improve the view from that side?

The modern stuff they can build over almost ant surface, I've seen them on mountainsides and over water, it's all adjustable legs and stuff.

These two were at a race track in Scotland recently, together they hold 500. Probably enough to satisfy our seated ST holder.

I think we could possibly see something like this, perhaps only temporary until the new East Stand is completed. We Silver tops wouldn’t last long outside in the winter.

Q&A on Trinity tv now

Tonight’s Q&A with JM, they now have a fully funded scheme. Going to planning early December, obviously cannot guarantee will be passed at that time, if passed, we will see first phase work starting February, no decision yet regarding seating, possibly temporary seat on Western Terrace or North Stand. North Stand terrace will be substantially upgraded and have food/drinks stands.
Retaining current hospitality boxes for now, looking to upgrade the Western terrace in the future but no time frame given. The Rollin Shack (community hub) will have community changing rooms etc (details available on the planning site ) sorry if I’ve missed anything regarding the Stadium. There was other none Stadium related questions, but I don’t think are required on this thread.

Thanks for update Dunkirk Spirit

It can't possibly happen can it? Can it?!

Sounds very promising, but I still have that pessimistic Wakefield trait in me!

This is absolutely excellent news.
I know we've had more false dawns than enough but the "fully funded" part makes this seem very positive indeed and after allof the shenanigan's at NM etc, could/would this really get knocked back

TBF, Mr Minards seemed to have every confidence of the detail shared.

Not really to do with our Stadium, but there are now some interesting comments appearing on the Castleford forum. I suppose as Rate payers they do have the right to look where the money goes. As far as I am aware, we only received a loan to buy the land, All other things I hear about Stadium council money is pure speculation.

From the Cas forum
I see Wakey have the finances in place so once planning permission is in place there revamp will be good to go. This funding i believe also includes a decent sized contribution from the council coffers. We need to be all over this demanding the same from Axiom and the council. Sitting around waiting is not good enough, there is plenty of mood music around within the game saying licensing will be returning, in fact it is even stated in Wakeys planning documents that that’s the plan. We need to get moving with some development otherwise our super league place will be at serious risk.
