Ridden past where they're building it and it's shot up, absolutely huge building.

could play ice hockey

Doesn't it make me feel proud!

Looking at it from the motorway it dominates the area.

Its a real eyesore.

Could do with some sports fields and a nice modern rugby league stadium in front of it to soften the view.

See it from my house.

MANY THANKS FOR THE SCREWJOB

Been down the M62 today, you certainly cant miss the thing !
Time for Sir Rodney to do his thing, not too many people have managed to stop this guy from making things happen, lets just hope he can help "persuade" the council and other interested parties to get the job moving.

15000 signatures, Secretary of State, demonstrations outside the Town Hall. Cant build in Thornes Park (unless it's houses).
The stadium issue is an utter embarrassment to the City of Wakefield and to Wakefield Trinity, plus many more.

I know. What to do next? MR Box pro castleford never done us any favours. We are the biggest city in the country without a football team, top 10 fattest region in the UK. Mr Box never replies to emails where do we go now? ED Balls is keen for something to happen but its usually just empty words and not much action. Now I have a awful building infront of my house but with no ground.

I think that is just the racking they are erecting at the moment, once the racking is up they build the structure/building around the racking. It is big, but just like the big grey new building at Coca Cola, you will stop noticing very quickly once finished.

It's good that NGB4C will be able to draw comfort from that

I live near coca cola and once they took the scaffold down on the new warehouse you hardly notice it

Jesus H Christ!

What are the hey building a spaceport?

Yeah NASA moves to Wakefield

I've just been out on my bike & rode down the canal at Stanley ferry - certainly can't miss the bloody thing....makes you feel slightly sorry for the nimby's

Ha ha, I wouldn't mind betting that Newcold will have their name on it in letters ten feet high in the hope that people will keep noticing it.

These images make me sick. If there's no stadium built there they can stick Newmarket Lane where the sun don't shine.

Noticed it for the first time last week, looks a real eyesore. Still don't know how that can be completely seperate to the main development.

It was submitted as a new application on a site now removed from GB as a result of the LDF. The council maintain that they could not apply the conditions of the original application to this site, but someone conveniently allowed us all to believe that this was contributing around 60% of the B8 space towards the target to trigger the stadium. The principal now is whether ALL future B8 applications will be separate and if any will contribute. This is what we are working on - one strand of it.

Politically - how can the council justify that thing with nothing in return for our City??? Its not what we signed up for!

Thats horrible.

I too feel sorry for the locals.

I dont understand why after all the confident statements about the development being linked to the ground then this happens.

I asume they are banking on it generating jobs.

The Newcold development does have some positives that we must mention if, as we still hope, we can build a brand new stadium at Newmarket. The new signal controlled junction and road into the site is about to start (signs have gone up saying the junction work will start in October for 26 weeks) and that was always something that had to be done to open up the site. While the next 26 weeks are going to be a general pain for all locals in the area, including me, we will have a new safe junction (this is an accident black-spot and it needed sorting irrespective) and the immediate residents will not have any additional traffic coming past their properties.

Very few.

Looks like a very automated plant designed to use the fewest staff possible

Yes it says on their own site that it is a 'fully automated cold storage warehouse'.
