Congratulations and thanks to all involved. I still feel that there is someway to go with this, but another important step.

Hopefully the timescale wont be too long, from the drawings the stadium does look impressive:



So when can we expect Full Planning going in?

filled in corners??

Can't give you an answer on that just yet. Agree partners / requirements, then plans. Some exciting stuff going on, almost too much for it all to happen, but Sir Rodney and co are picking their way through it all.

I'm sure TRB can correct me if I'm wrong but the plan has always been to fill in the corners, subject to funding being sought & granted.

Another positive step made then and awesome stuff from everyone involved.

As far as plans go it looks impressive and for me if we can end up with anything like Donny's stadium. they'll be thousands of happy fans.

Which bits our half?
We're not having yellow seats to look at!

We're not having any yellow/amber seats unless they get their finger out within the next 2 months (before full planning permission).

All the major issues were hammered out, at great length, during the outline/public inquiry stage. All this deals with is the final ascetics of the stadium. So we'll know exactly what were getting in 's terms of the colour scheme of the building in due time. Let's run with the premise that Cas had agreed to NM, but not told the fans or the press. The cat would be out of the bag once plans go in & get published online. So I think it's fair to say that if they haven't signed up by that stage they won't be coming at all.

If they were to join at a late stage they wouldn't be moving into a community stadium in the true sense of the term. The place would have Wakefield written all over it, literally.

In terms of ascetics for a "community stadium" I'd be more than happy with something traditional to our region, whilst remaining neutral to any club. Say blue seats with a white fleur de lis.

Be prepared to be massively dissapointed.

I'd be disappointed if Cas were to share it. It would kill them, and I for one don't want that.

If Cas leave Cas they'll die a slow withering death.

As if any Wakefield fan wants to share with Castleford.

The one thing both sets of fans have said is that in an ideal world there would be no ground share. You made that a reality when you refused the offer we were obliged to make.

THANK GOD FOR RICHARD WRIGHT!

Firstly I'm sure any "covert deal" would be made without your consultation so how you would be "in the know" to make such a bold statement.
Secondly we would be more likely to be up in arms than dissapointed following the comments attributed to your then CEO and his under hand methods of derailing the NM project.
Add onto that comments from deluded Cas fans such as Alf and Fully throughout the process (both NM and GH).
You're welcome to your pickle!!

I'm guessing it will look nothing like the artists impression. Never does.

That's not an "Artists Impression" its a submitted planning application, any varriations from that plan will need to be submitted to planning for final approval

I will have a bet with you it will not have corners Financial Times. Someone said above that we have planning permission to build a stadium on that site. That's what all the behind the scenes stuff is now. To see what we can afford and who is going to help to pay for it. Try googling the artists impression of the Salford stadium. The finished article is nothing like. Don't get me wrong it would be great to have a bowl like stadium but these things never quite pan out that way. If I'm wrong then I will stick my hand up.

Yes it is and no there is no guarantee that the final stadium will look anything like that.

As stated we have final outline planning permission, which is the hardest part. However we have not submitted final detailed plans and have not got final planning permission.

My own opinion if Salford is anything to go by is that those plans are possibly over optimistic but I honestly don't know for certain - nobody does right now.

I'm guessing the Salford stadium will look like the plans that have been submitted to the LA though.

The image I posted earlier is showing the planners what the stadium will look like from the outside. Granted the corners may not be filled in but ultimately it will resemble the plans, otherwise what's the point of them?

Personally I only want three of the corners filled in. This will allow for an effective and entertaining route down which to chase the referee.

I think we should also incorporate an MMA style cage next to the dug-out, in which any visiting 'hard man' can spend 3 rounds with Justin 'The Dark Knight' Poore.

To double up for the inhabitants of clown corner?

Quick question TRB/IA:

Is there still a fixed time frame for progression from outline to full planning?

This was discussed at length at the PI. If I recall correctly: Yorkcourt didn't see this as a concern as they were confident plans were already at an advanced stage.

It was 6 weeks, did this get written into the 106?

This might sound at odds with what we want, but it may not suit us to rush too much. Some of the opportunities opening up would be worth serious consideration. As such I would doubt if you will see developed plans in that time.

At the end of the day I think unless we have cement down by this time next year the most amazing plans in the world won't matter. All people will see is us "still messing about with plans".

Come on Rodders, get a wiggle on!

Just been on council website. If this is the latest submission then its still got the corners filled in according to online pics. cominoweb.wakefield.gov.uk/Plann ... wdocs=true
