I suppose when the college moves there is an ideal location for a university right where a brand new stadium/sports village should've been.

I st wondered what would happen? Has mr glover said he will do these upgrades at belle vue of we dont get a licence? and has he confirmed that he can go ahead with them even though i thought we only had a lease for a year as we were going to barnsley?. does anybody know?

Given that you've asked this elsewhere - are you trying to stir the pot here, or is this a genuine question?

me thinks its a genuine question

3-times now - not so sure?

might not have seen your answer on the other thread

Big difference my friend



Our proposed expenditure was circa £10 million to replace one stand and reseeding the pitch, whilst your Mr G is looking to spend 500k,(or 5% of our budget) in the hope it brings all of BV up to minimum SuperLeague licence standard!

Does LIDL do flatpack stadia?

OUCH!!!

Whats wrong with lidl.?

There's nothing wrong with Lidl but I think Billy is bitter because he does his 'shopping' in the bins behind Lidl!

I doubt Snowie would have a friend like you.

I think you'll find our tarting up is costing £25 Million and involves a purpose built stadium

Please promise me that when the time comes you won't poke fun at GROTTY Headingley and refuse to go

Even on my worst day I wouldn't sink to being as shallow as that!

Yes, I'm sure Yorcourt would rather have spent that amount on more warehousing......... must take a drive out soon to see how much they've got up.....with all this good weather I suspect the construction is really cracking on!

Have they told you yet what they are going to be charging for rent?

Yorkcourt will not be charging us anything for rent.

Hey Al, here in the cosmopolitan big City, we have a wide range of friends. All shapes, sizes, colours and political viewpoints.

I'm sure someone, somewhere has a wee Wakey chum! So why not me too?

Good to see Billy is back in silly billy mode!!

When I said "they"

it was meant to be all inclusive, and not specifically directed at Yorcourt.

So, anyone got an idea of what you'll be expected to shell out for the use of the facilities?

ps Morning Kinley

Morning daft lad!

What occurs to me about the improvements is how quickly and cheaply they can go up. In our last franchise application, we were criticised for having no Plan B. It looks like we didn't have another one this time either, because it was Newmarket or bust. These improvements could have been made last year, when Newmarket was still heading towards a possible public inquiry.

I know that half a million is a lot of money to a club with not much, but as I understand it, Ted and his cohorts had no problem in raising more than double that by obtaining a mortgage against Belle Vue's land value when the eventual profit was expected to land in their own pockets.

Forecast rain today, can we get em up in 4 hours?

Stand in the shadow of Marsdens head, it'll give enough cover to keep you dry.

From my recollection, you lot always stand in that part of the ground that will be left uncovered in the new plans. Wonder if that's accidental?

excuse me for sounding young, (i am) but what i cant understand is when i look at the old pictures of belle view,(which looked great) with intact stands and the like it reminds me of what the east stand of headingley is today, my father said that a fire happened at wakefield or something along those lines and its never retained its full potential, why did belle vue suffer such a regression as the state of the ground today is in
