Obviously DLA Architects have done the drawings of the stadium that we've all seen since December 15000 capacity with the corners filled in and 12000 without. Once detailed plans go in is the stadium still going to be like the original plans with standing areas at both ends and seating along the sides. It looks like we'll have and away end like most new stadia have, with most Trinity fans liking to stand it will make for a good atmosphere in the Trinity end, with the main stand and the other stand which could be the family stand it will be an attractive atmospheric place to watch a game of Rugby, 100 times better than Belle Vue

I wish the Delorean was working I'm far too impatient.
All the waiting, longing and sweating will all be worth it in the end!
Once I've bought my first pint in NM (and one for the old man after all the beer he's bought at BV) and walk up onto the terrace behind the sticks in anticipation of the start of our first game all the heartache will seem so irrelevant!

The "home and away ends" will do wonders for our atmosphere, we need to create the same electricity we do at away games when were "penned in".

Has a date been confirmed yet for when the OPP will be heard? Presume Yorkcourt, the Trust and Club are pressing for the first planning meeting in September?

They said September, have read somewhere that the two planning meeting in September are 2nd and 29th.

Perhaps interestingly, another date has been added in September for a different time. I don't know whether it's a mistake but the dates are:

2nd Sept - 10:30am
23rd Sept - 10:30am
24th Sept - 9:30am

Usually a week before mate although I have known them to be sooner. The best thing to do is to save the page to your favourites and have a brief check every day.

Putting a detailed planning application in for a site the size of yours isn't just a question of sticking in a load of plans, there are environmental reports, traffic, contamination etc.

If the designs haven't been shown yet, I suspect that the developers will put in an outline application similar to what Cas & Salford did.

The outline for the stadium went in as part of the whole site back in February, the decision on that is due back next month.

Very interesting to view the new LDF maps that have just been made available on the WMDC website - the site at Newmarket now clearly designated as an employment area
