What odds are you giving now then?

In December it was 50/50, interested to know how much they've shortened to.

Langtree have built a number of stadiums in the uk and are currently doing one in rotherham that looks identicalto st helens even down to the colour scheme

I don't give two hoots who builds it, so long as someone does.

wouldn't it be nice to have a retro stadium

A bowl would be nice, bit like the Doncaster one. Much prefer when stadium corners are filled in. In fact would it be cheaper to buy Doncasters stadium and move it here as it looks like thats going the way of all flesh...

You seem to be in the know so what do you thing the odds of NM been approved?

tweet to me tonight from mick gledhill the journo:-

@crowther_andrew Enjoy the good news a week on Tuesday.

Although it is reasonable to expect the worst, given our history, in the current economic climate it would be a staggering decision not to approve a project on the site of an old colliery that will bring construction jobs and thereafter permanent jobs. Plus a few average Aussies.

If a neutral observer looked at a "no" decision, they would regard it as madness, with the mess we are all in.

so where's the party going to be WHEN we get the nod

I thought Glover said the party will be down at Belle Vue

at the rate the pubs are closing there won't be may left for the walk from Belle View to Newmarket

D-11, its getting closer.

Day 11 and counting #newmarketnewopportunity

C'mon sod the 19th get it announced

I'm calm I'm calm

I agree! If it doesn't go ahead and I see Mr Pickles on TV moaning about the lack of jobs I will throw whatever is in my hand at the TV. If this doesn't go ahead it will be a national disgrace our city is improving but unfortunatly jobs aren't this development will be a much needed asset for people looking for work. Local sport facilities in this country are like a 3rd World country and this development will be great for the local community. Also the added fact a lot of the land is coming off green belt soon is a huge bonus.

OLD RUN DOWN COLLIERY = TIME FOR CHANGE !!!

You want to be careful with that, you'll do yourself an injury...

His TV will be fine.

In fairness to the application & it's merits there should be little discussion really in my view, the nation/local area need the jobs, it's not what most people think of a green belt (with many "sloppy" people/even some journo's refering to it as "green field"- which is certainly is not!) & should have been open & shut 18 months ago in my view- but that's a side issue in relation to NGBFC's claims of anger should this go against us.

Anyone who moans as much as NGBFC clearly has obviously never played RL & ergo can't throw for butter. He'll be lucky if the remote makes his feet!

Approval from a "jolly" man that hails from Bradford, that's good enough for me!!!

- IA: I hope you noticed the use of "jolly" #benicetopickles

I move from moments of confidence (based on what I & many other perceive to be the many benefits of the development) to moments of dread & fear (based upon my feeling to the con-dems & the rationale they've used over the last 2 years) in the blink of an eye.

As far as a party for any positive news goes I think we should coincide it with the 9's & get as many people down as possible. Occupy the north terrace, sing & be merry whilst the games are on & then all into The Cats Bar for some speeches & mutual backslapping. In the timeline of events in our many attempted moves away from BV this event would be a serious milestone & needs photographic documentation. I for one would love to be photographed being part of a large group celebrating our move from our (to date) one true home. Hell I feel we've all earned the right to say "I was there" in decades to come.

Top Idea I'm in



and lets get down and fill the fleetmaster stand at least

That's what I was thinking. Just get every WTW fan down whose looking to celebrate & congregate in the FMS.
Not that we're assuming anything, we all know the proverb...

Day - 10 and counting #newmarketnewopportunity

Shouldn't we be having a proper countdown now?



Sorry I'm a bit early, but I'm getting giddy and I have been to bed and got up, even been for a run, as it's already after 8.30 here.

Day - 9 and counting #newmarketnewopportunity
