My thanks to one and all in getting us to this point- onwards and upwards.
Just texted my mate in Tenerife and the San Miguels are flowing

Thanks to all concerned for all their hard work. I've got the best birthday present I could wish for

Still a long way to go mate, but without this step we would have fallen over

I hoped you would get the right decision today as your club has had a bad time throughout the last few years and if it had gone against you I fear Wakefield would be in serious trouble and that is something I'd not want. Let's hope both stadiums get built.

I'd echo that. It will be great to maintain our rivalry (friendly) in SL in 2012.

Too true.

You know my feelings on cas and the stadium, would be nice to move forward together.

yep you are correct, 48 weeks

will be the newest ground in the championship in 2012.
but cant see it being built by then either.

Why's that then?

Where are the celebrations being held? Are they continuing in in to the night?

Good luck to you guys but this is one of the reason we (salford) had our plans upheld for a while so it just depends if the roads round the ground can handle the extra flow of traffic

They take no prisoners the Highway Agency, enjoy tonight start planning for tomorrow

Wonderful news and testament to all the hard work many people have put in over the last two years. However, having only been in the country for a few hours I have to say i'm not so happy in the way the local bbc are reporting this news. I just can't help thinking that if this were on the other side of the M62 and was a Leeds proposal they would be a lot more supportive of the decision.

Is it really true that in the last 24hrs we have had our tax bill cleared and been granted planning permission on a new stadium?!

I must be dreaming cos those kind of things don't happen to Wakefield. Or do they....

Massive congratulations to everyone that worked tirelessly to get us to this stage. We aren't there yet but we're a hell of a lot closer than we wouldve been if this day hadn't proved so fruitful.

TRB, take a bow son.

Who is the mystery backer?RFL?

Goodluck and be interesting who gets demoted from Superleague.

In complete contrast to the news report on Calendar, completely positive and nothing about 'hugely controversial plans' and 'public inquirys'. Which broadcaster do we subsidise again?!

Anyway, enough negative vibes from me. Once again well done all.

Gowerthegroap, no it isn't.
It's still feet firmly on the ground time, we have jumped a massive hurdle today and one that had we failed could/would have killed off our club.
But we still have the SoS to deal with and as far as I know the taxman still isn't on our Xmas card list and us, not on his.
I will definately crack open the port tonight, but until I see diggers and our mystery creditor materialises a bit, I'm gonna remain as calm as possible.
But just for tonight
















and to trb


















added an extra

during edit.

The 2 names I've heard mentioned are David Seymour (more than a few times) and Colin Mackie.
I'm inclined to believe that it's DS.
More to come by all counts too!
Well we're defiantly a better investment than people believed even last week!

Is that a partition in the dark cloud that's hung over the Merrie city for many a year???

Step forward the white knight of Newmarket.

bones?

What was said by Look North? I only caught the end of the piece, with the daft woman saying that it had to go to public review so her concerns could be answered.

he chilled out playing pool at the bay horse

They went on about the hundreds of people who were against the development,then they interviewed this women,she was from one of the groups against the build ,and she said they would fight on and the decision that had been made was bias,which made me laugh. I think it has been proved what most thought, that the NIMBYS were just that and they were spreading lies and untruths, when it came down to it they were found wanting.

Thought BBC spent more time listing the cons than the pros!!
Was she the woman from methley residents who spoke at the meeting?

friend

Well done to all at Yorkcourt, the Community Trust and the club & a massive pat on the back to TRB for coordinating a great campaign supporting the proposals.

There's still an awful lot to be done, but today is a very significant step forward. It's now a race between us & the Tigers to see who can get their detailed planning applications through first....if today's statement by RW on the Cas site is anything to go by I wouldn't be surprised to see both applications getting permission at the same time.

Would be good to see the rfl in a corner on this one.
