You are wrong. It is still there and whilst I am no longer a Trustee, I keep in regular contact.

We will be objecting to this application, as with all and any applications on this site until such time as we have a legally tested agreement that delivers the Community Stadium we were promised, be that at Newmarket, Belle Vue, Balne Lane or somewhere else!

Watch this space!

Thanks TRB.

Thanks TRB hope your well not seen you post in a while.


...... please use the posters user name rather than real name. Even though you may know each other and don't mind, it's against AUP and there to protect everyone.
Thats really a message to everyone not just Inside Man...... Thanks.. ... Poptart

Thanks TRB - I posted it tongue in cheek (hence the apology I included!)
Good to have confirmation you are still there or thereabouts!

No problem. You asked the question!

Just waiting on IA coming back from his hols before we move! We are all extremely frustrated by the continuous promises followed by inaction. But we are still breathing and whilst there is life, there is hope!

I have just come back from holiday, and in our mail pile have received an invitation from Mary Creagh to a coffee morning.

Although I have no time for Box, Creagh or Ed Balls, I intend on going.

In the question and answers bit, I will mention it, along with a couple of other issues, such as speeding on Thornes Road and Anti social behaviour in and around the park on an evening.

If anything of note is mentioned, I will post on here straight after it

Eastern - what’s Ed Balls got to do with it?

Nothing really Kev, just that he is, or was in cahoots with Box.

I could even have mentioned Yvette Cooper in my initial comment but stopped myself.

Let’s send in those objections for the planning application! Only one way to ensure the council have no way out and that is to OBJECT...let’s do it on the portal like last time! https://planning.wakefield.gov.uk/onlin ... TC8QQK4A00 Maybe TRB can help us with a templated objection comment again?

Probably so, yes.

The other application deadline has been pushed back to 9th November. Realistically speaking, this means the council wants more time to find a way out. But if we can object to this application too, and cause another delay, then both the Council and Yorkcourt will be in a really tough position!

On news again about the demand outweighing supply for big warehouses with the big distribution warehouses becoming the high street of the future. Newmarket probably on of the best locations for motorway network in the north of England you’d have thought York court and the council would have attracted enough business to sell the development twice over by now.

Up the Trin

Absolutely mate, it stinks. They can't put warehousing up quick enough around Cas, seems to be another link road every 6 months which quickly become lined with new warehousing which are soon occupied.
Newmarket is in an equally good position motorway wise so why is nothing being built? I think we both know the answer.

I think everyone is back from holiday now, so I will see what I can find out!

Just been past the adewsbury ground and some construction work taking place behind the sticks at the far end of the ground.

Something has to happen soon and think it will do. I’m going for Balne Lane.

Up the Trin

I admire your optimism, however (according to the last article in the daily star a month or so ago) the club aren't so confident

I walk past the Balne Lane playing fields twice a day and there isnt a hope in hell of a stadium being built there.
However, there could be possibilities for community facilities, which may allow for a re development of BV



We all need a blue moon, flying pig and the end of a rainbow to converge on Wakefiled simultaneously and even then it still seems more unlikely than the odds for something to happen.

Its SIX YEARS since the Newmarket development was passed and still nothing and the poor residents of Stanley and Methley wake up to the big white box, shame on WMDC

The Balne Lane site is feasible for the community stadium think this has been confirmed by the stadium trust, if it happens we can only hope and see if it does.

Up the Trin

I’m an optimist and a dreamer and hope good will happen and we get what we were promised (or near enough)

Up the Trin

Which stadihm trust wax that then?

The only Trust, has the other ever been registered? Got told they’ve looked at Balne Lane and it could be done, also the site could have just been thrown in the stadium pot to muddy the water but will support it if genuine. Sir Rodney Walker said it’s the most positive he’s been on stadium progress so it must be a goer.

Up the Trin

WTF it got to do with him?

#worrying

You’ve heard an awful lot over the years that hasn’t happened. Add this one to the list.

Haven’t we all.
The Rodney Walker statement was in the express a few months ago wasn’t it? got told the trust had been up to the site a month or so ago and said it was possible.
