If the east stand is planning to be first, surely that’s not possible without the purchase of the houses? If it’s literally months rather than years to the first phase then those houses are either purchased or need purchasing ASAP

The houses are well out of the way for what would likely be constructed there. It's not as if it's going to be the size of Anfield's main stand.

Will we be able to tell the s to jog on now whenever they turn up?

why not use it as income for the time being that's if your on about the fair

IIRC it was the proposal under the Glover regime to put a roof down all of the western terrace, which would have been below the TV gantry, which was the reason for the small covered area in the corner.
If they were to flatten that side and start again, I'm pretty sure that it could be sorted. Plus, if there was going to be some major development on the East side, then surely, they could be something over there to accommodate TV and Press etc

it doesnt need to stat on the Western Terrace.
As for having a stand over there, it wouldn't have to be anything too big. Only Cas, Leeds and maybe FC bring anything over a couple of thousand fans so, plenty of room on that side without too much effort, although the terracing / seating would need lifting from its current level.

I believe that you find the needs of broadcasters will be included in the design as in all new stadia

There's plenty of space for a new East stand which suits our needs, but I would suspect that it would use the terraced area in front, sadly for those people who've stood there for years.

There is acres of space between the existing east stand and the house and bathroom shop, i'm not sure what your concern is.
Ok in an ideal world they would be includes in the purchase but, you wouldn't to be able to build/ develop the ground so close to Doncaster road anyway.

This is as crude a measurement as I could do, but the West Stand is around fifteen metres deep (I used Google Maps in satellite view and compared it to the try-line to twenty metre mark on the pitch). The East Stand isn't much deeper. The stand behind the posts at Salford is around twenty two metres deep, if you measure it from the hoardings, so that it incorporates an exit path, and I'm pretty sure there is a big space behind the terraces, so that the terracing does not go for the full width.

What I'm trying to say is that a stand the same as Salford's away stand, or the seats along the side, would fit easily, assuming the terracing will still be as close to the pitch.

I imagine the devvelopment will be the East Stand for best seats and hospitality. Bulldoze the flats and build a small away stand similar to Salford. West and North Terraces for home fans, but perhaps the North Stand smaller so that the looks more balanced. I'm guessing that it wouldn't be too dissimilar to Salford in appearance, except the stands will hug the pitch a little more and the main stand won't be as grand.

I am on about the fair, and I'm embarrassed whenever it's set up outside BV. You don't see top football or rugby union clubs associating or being associated with travellers.

Little clue, we're not a top football or rugby union club.

Im thinking the stadium would look like lsv or something very similar or im i dreaming?

Clearly.

So what's the problem?

Err no ,far too small

Theres no need to be embarrassed about travelling fair people ! They are just making a living doing what they do best as long as they dont leave a mess and pay the going rate for the short stay there should be no problem! Now then when you refer to travellers well there a different kettle of fish there the scum bags who park up were they like breaking locks of to gain access thieving what ever they can and leaving the crap everywhere for the land owners to clear up at the cost to land owner. There are two different party's

3 sides like that with a biggish east stand. Would likely push the capacity to circa 10k.

Actually you're wrong - for a start there is a regular fair on the Barnsley FC car park as well as many others.

To be fare ! He did say top football clubs

And to be [ifair[/i they are a pretty good side with a good stadium..... (been in the premier league).
Also the [ibiggest[/i clubs have no need to supplement their massive income with fairs......

All doom and gloom for a lot of so called fans (how many of the people who knock the club go to the games ):Mr Carter & board has cleared over 2 million debt from the club & is buying the ground back and we still have some so called fans having a go!! Please let him get on with the sterling job he is doing- before he thinks, enough is enough & walks away!

I am sure MC and team will create a stadium to be proud of and a fitting home for Wakefield Trinity RLFC

They hold funfairs regularly adjacent the Ponte Road stand at Oakwell, Willzay, and football clubs don't come any bigger than BARNSLEY FC

I think MCis big enough to ignore any negativity on here!
I'm sure he knows the vast majority of fans will be forever grateful to him and his team for what they have done for our great club.
Besides, I 'm sure after all the turmoil of getting this far he won't let a few comments stop him seeing a new BV!
