Been down this evening for the WakeyARL finals and walked down the back of the east stand and was impressed with the cleaning up and painting, and whilst stood in the ground it's looking very clean and smart, well done again fella, great job being done by you and your team of super volunteers, if I didn't have a glass back I'd be there to contribute, but I know that sooner or later there will be something I can help with

Have to agree there FT, I was there for the Cas game on a lovely sunny day. My attention is always drawn to that immaculate green rectangle but the whole ground looked clean and bright.

I just wanted to echo what FT had said - i was down there on Wednesday night myself , & when the place is virtually empty it's easy to see how much smarter the place looks ....& so you've got to say hats off all round .
The removal of the dugouts in front of the East stand has also been a masterstroke - it gives the illusion of it being bigger somehow & so it'll be nice to see how it looks on a match day .

Well done folks !

And Spongebob with the dugouts removed it means all the families and kids who stand in front of the East Stand we be able to see far better including yourself Mrs Spongebob and young Master Spongebob.

Young Sponge had already deserted & gone into the north stand last year ,but our little group also decided to make the move this season too .
Got to be honest , I'm tempted to move back now the dugouts have gone - I quite like being out in the sun ( & a damn site nearer a bar too if the truth be told ).

Just wondering how are the improvements are getting on and have the council pulled there finger out and inspected and passed the work off yet? Sorry if this has been answered already

the club are awaiting testing which is booked at the earliest time back end of this month, were looking to link the barriers in the east stand which should add a further 500 in that side.

Any recent pictures Snowy and are we likely to be back at a capacity of 10,000+

I was talking to Neil Fox re the dugouts benches, he looked at me, kinda confused. I said "you know, the benches in the dugouts" Then he roared with laughter and said "I don't know, I never sat on em".

there are a few photos that Neil took on northstanders facebook, I'll see if I can get a few on this week on here, I doubt 10k will be the target given the opportunity to re develop Belle Vue if this is the case but 7-8k is more realist

Fantastic

Fantastic what a guy

all barriers are now complete on the side stands and ready for testing, one cut out has been made for a new flood gate, just awaiting our lads who does the masonry side of the work

now all ready for testing next week

Great photo,s well done guy,s you should feel proud.
Just one question, on the last photo, what are the wood parts on the concrete base for, sorry in advance for being thick.

I think they allow emergency access to the pitch?

Correct; they're required by law so that elderly ladies can, in extreme circumstances, enter the field of play to assault the ref.

don't give people ideas. lol

So the old ladies open the gates walk through then climb over the advertisement hordings ??

Firstly the step has to reduced to size then the hoardings have to be made so they open, the gates have been installed first yep h/s gone mad

Cheers Snowie, if you knew my real name you would find that last remark quite funny, keep up the good work.

Capacity up to 6133 here :- wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/news/sta ... d/2014/05/

good news even though its just 800 increase, next week will see barrier testing which should increase further

slowly but surely were getting there

update on testing is that so far so good, this is on the west stand where the brackets have been fitted,

also the other flood gate has been cut out of the wall but needs railing removing and gates fitted, if your available Saturday we could do with looking at the fencing above the turnstile and painting too if the weather is favourable Jason
