A tidy little ground that puts both of ours to shame (I’m fed up)!

The stands seem to comfortably fit the terracing, but the capacity is only half of that we are looking for - 6000 as opposed to 12000. If we were able to obtain some, or all, of the stands we would still have a lot of uncovered area.

Desperation defies logic.

The stands are too small.

We need capacity to be at least 10,000 and those side stands just are not big enough.

It's hardly likely to happen, however the terracing is probably most of that 6k alone leaving 5k or so to find for other two sides of the ground. Belle Vue itself won't fit much more than this on the current footprint anyway.

Millmoor

Replace the East Stand with the unfinished stand (naturally completed once insitu at BV) at Millmoor along with terracing to replace the north and western terrace and hey presto, a decent stadium on the cheap.

Anyhow, all very unlikely, however tomorrow will hopefully bring more news into the open we all can assess what this good news is.

Not holding my breath.

Yeah it will progsbly get deferred.

Well the trust and club are quiet so hopefully they are happy with the good news.

Up the Trin

Still no annocment?

What stadium are we looking for ? Lsv ,Doncaster type,

We might be looking for it but I can’t see getting anything like that.

That's what iam looking at, nowt less!!

You’ll be disappointed then.

Best of luck to all those representing the interests of the club at today's planning meeting.

And thanks for your efforts.

No there not - nobody is suggesting the whole lot are they just bits of it. The bulk of the capacity is in the north stand with the East having most potential to rebuild. That is where you will get your 10,000 in those two areas.

There simply isn’t the room at the west or south of the ground. Hence two of those stands/ terraces do actually fit - you can’t argue that - it’s the major problem with the BV site.

If we are to stay and the monies on offer are not huge then these are the compromises that MUST be made, sad but true.

What are we looking towards then?

I heard it's a council guaranteed loan to buy BV back. Not sure if there is anything more than that such as would this loan cover redevelopment of the ground.

Indeed
It's appalling that we've got to where we are but, if we are looking at a reasonably well tarted up BV or, waiting for Box to leave office, there isn't too much choice.
It's still staggering that you can have the ruling by the SoS and yet still nothing.
Yorkcourt have played their hand well, aided and abetted by WMDC (and Box) and are still laughing at us but, we remain hopeful.

Seems like it’s the common rumour that’s going around. Whether that’s just for the ground itself or surrounding land aswell who knows? Like you say I suppose how much that is worth will depend on what we can achieve with the redevelopment

Another potentially cheap(er) option is this:




Carter tried contacting Gary Neville a year or so back with regards to the company who constructed this.

Stadium solutions ltd. They do some tidy stuff of you look at there site

Indeed, they aren't going to win any architecture awards anytime soon but a fit for purpose small stadium on a budget and limited footprint?

Quote ="Khlav Kalash"Indeed, they aren't going to win any architecture awards anytime soon but a fit for purpose small stadium on a budget and limited footprint?'" Exactly. They have one pic of a main stand they did that was around 1500 seats I think with clubhouse etc. Looks quite smart to be honest and I don’t think it broke the bank. It was for hayes & yeading fc https://www.stadiumsolutions.co.uk/stat ... 90x292.jpg

For those of you on Twitter, David Spereall ( @DavidSpereall ) of the Wakefield Express is posting updates of the planning meeting.

The rep for Yorkcourt is coming under quite a bit of fire from Councillors but is insisting they are acting within the law.
