plenty of room in town centre lots of steel for framework going cheap all offers considerd council skint

Very soon I believe!

I just hope it's not another false dawn.

We all sincerely hope that is true - and that is why we have the people we have working the hours they have to do everything they can to make this happen.

If this fails, it will not be for the want of trying - by us at least!

Where is the false dawn exactly?

I realise the Thornes failure was a blow but you need to look at the bigger picture.

In 2004 the need for a new stadium for Trinity wasn't on any Councillors agenda, we simply didn't exist as an issue. Now it simply won't go away.

Even if it fails in the end the club will have gone down fighting and the Council will have a failure on it's hands that will not easily be forgotten. I believe as political animals they won't want this so something will happen. What I don't know.

Fingers crossed.

look at p65 of express at planning notices demolition of bv

Just to get in there before the Trolls.

You mean it hasn’t been already!!!!

If you take the current site that Belle Vue occupies and drop it into that picture it takes up about half of the field on the left (the one between the motorway and where the rest of the development work has already been done).

This would mean that there is potentially more than enough space for a bigger ground with parking. The downside as far as I can see would be access. Although it is close to the motorway for travelling fans I think it might actually be too close and that you could get horrendous traffic queues coming off the M1.

not really its not like most clubs bring thousands of away fans, it'll be fine for wakey people they can park down alverthorpe, ossett, go on the m1 drive through wakefield. easy!!!!!!!!! put it this way son its better than bellevue's acces

Cala management are a big housbuilding company.

All the right noises and indications are being made, fingers crossed.

indeed as it says demolition of the stadium clubhouse ground and main stand for the erection of 120 houses i wonder where we are going to go

Featherstone.

are you trying to give me nightmares

snowie..cas?? lol hope that the new place isn;t at jcn 40, my son plays for thornes and they won't have a ground !

I'll offer you a choice then.

1 Wakey get that site and secure SL survival

2 The lads got nowhere to play.


What say you?

they can go play in the park, you know THORNES park

Don't want to pee on your bonfire too much but isn't this the bog standard planning permission that we've applied for each and every year for the last ten?

Do you have to renew it?

Saints ground stalling, Cas gone quiet, Salford sounds dead in the water. If a spade hits the dirt before those, it must shove us up the franchising ladder, particularly if we can manage a couple of top eight finishes.

Not sure that you have to but i'm pretty sure we do it every year,hope i'm wrong and it's a move in the right direction.

Featherstone "big scary african animal"?

I've seen applications for outline planning permission to build houses on the Belle Vue site, which I think were made by the club. This however is full planning permission applied for by a noted housebuilding company.

Also the application for permission to demolish the existing stadium is a new one on me.

It seems quite specific in some respects but then fails to mention dismantling/demolishing the Benidorm flats,unless you don't have to list everything to be demolished.

The flats are modular and were errected knowing that when they were no longer needed they would have a decent re sale value.

This is painful.

Believe

Outline planning permission is like the developer got at Cas and other big developers go for up and down the country - all it mentions is what they hope to do - in a way it's to see if full permission is likely to be granted without having to go into all the details. That's what we had on Belle Vue and I think it lasts for a few years.
Full Planning permission specifies exactly what and where is being developed, types of houses, siting, roads, etc. Now the full one's going in at Belle Vue (and if it gets passed), it's far more 'real' than any outline permission could be. And I don't doubt with Full permission, the club will have a better idea of what the site is worth to a developer and so how much the club would get.

Now what, I wonder, do Trinity need a cash sum to invest in, Hmm?
