Don't you mean, " I hope it goes to a public enquiry". Such was the amount of opposition, that two people who were designated to speak in opposition did not turn up.

Notable objectors to the plan were obviously the HA who's objections are 90% satisfied with the developer saying that issue will be resolved within 3 weeks.

The other notable was Leeds City Council who objected on the green belt grounds and that the development could be detrimental to their residents and rate payers.

The green belt objection from LCC was the but of a joke due to their massive develoment over the last 15 years much of which has been done on green belt land.

Celebrating old white haired chap on Look North 2 mins ago, you could see in his eyes how much it meant to him.

tell someone who gives a ......

I it looked as if he was crying and fair play to him, it just shows how much the club means to people.

I think this is probably a good time to make my debut. Brilliant news. As a season ticket hoder from the North East I've been just as worried as most of you have. Today is a great day. Always look on message board for the latest news. Keep up the good work.

I can't see the goverment objecting to this project, after all they are trying to find jobs in the private sector after getting rid of hundreds of thousands of public sector posts. They'll probably use this as an example of success of their policies. Either way it's a great day for Trinity.

Congratulations, lets hope both clubs get the stadiums built now.

Be interesting to see how quickly Cas apply for Full Planning Permission now.

The race is definitely on now

Just like to add my congratulations and sincerely thank all those who have worked so tirelessly towards this.

Do you know what i love about all this ??? Its the comments from OTHER clubs fans who really have nothing better to do other than get bitter and twisted about WAKEFIELD TRINITY WILDCATS FANTASIC NEWS. Nothing worse than a bit of salt in an open wound is there Cas ! Anyway Congrats to all us wakey fans, the club, the players and staff and most of all to everyone involved with SWAG







As the song goes " we get knocked down , but we get up again you aint ever gunna keep us down"









We are wakefield laud and proud !!!!!!

Congratulations.

No. There is a 28 day period for legal challenge and Government Office have to decide if it should go to Public Inquiry. Also the matter of the Highways Agency Article 14 Notice has to be dealt with and the Developer now needs to apply for Detailed Consent for the Stadium and infrastructure.

The Developer will deal with the HA's concerns and I cannot see a Public Inquiry being called. The Planning decision was unanimous and the objectors have been led by a NIMBY who appears to have little credibility. It will in my opinion it will be passed back to Wakefield MDC who will rubber stamp it.

If YorkCourt submit a detailed application at the end of November we could have consent early in the new year and start building straight away with completion in time for the start of the 2012 SL season.

Great day for the Club and we can now start to build and look forward.

A big thank you to TRB, SWAG and all involved and not forgetting Ted Richardson who never gave up after Thornes Park collapsed.

Again a big thank you from Sandal Cat to all concerned, you have made my day - I'll have to celebrate with a few tonight.

apparently 3 opposers didnt turn up and one make a fool of himself by not being able to answer questions - yeah Come on the Mighty Trin

Nice to see that Sky are in no rush to publish our good news

well done. Here is hoping you have a smooth journey to a new ground.

Just want to add my congratulations and the heartfealt thanks that comes with 50+ years of supporting Trinity goes to SWAG and TRB and all the others - it makes my paltry letter writing to councillors etc. seems pretty small beer. The effort and time they invested must have been huge and probably took over their lives at times.

I vote for at least a plaque at the main entrance to recognise the efforts of those without whom nothing would be happening - and I'll contribute to its cost!!!!

it was two that failed to turn up. as for the other 3 they made no form of creditable argument between them. one of them tried to raise environmental issues as a concern. not realising he was sat next to a bloke from the environment agency who proceeded to inform him he was talking . speaking to eric timmins during and on the way out of the hearing he seemed to think we could get an answer within the next 7 days. albeit very unlikely. fantastic news for the club and the city. thanks to all concerned especially TRB

Thanks for that,heres hoping.

What a wonderful day ! The result never looked in doubt the more the meeting progressed . In fact the case put by the objectors was pitiful, so much so that two didn't even turn up !

A big thank you to everyone who put in the hard work to get us this result today. Still a long way to go, but as fans, at least we can dare to dream again.

Well done!!!

If the decision was unanimous and the only objector was poor then logic says that the government will pass it back straight away and let us get on with it. I can't see how this can be delayed now.

I thought the Look North report gave too much airtime to the nimby woman, and the presenters opening line "Wakefield Trinity have been given the go ahead to build their new stadium on green belt land" was typical sloppy journalism.. at least the reporter outside the town hall made the correct reference to the brown belt land the stadium is goin up on and the green belt that the warehouse are.

I am writing the cheque out now as we speak folks !! What a day what a turn out ! I spoke to TRB a couple of times awesome work he has done ! No way the cons can reject nearly 2000 new job opportunities no way. Neil Fox stand corners filled in unlike Warrington where you see the cars passing ha ha. Great day gonna get drunk tonight on a few large konjaks. What happened to the people protesting against the ground ?? 600 people to 0 . TRINITY FOREVER ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

I thought construction was going to take 18 months?
It's great news today, a tribute to everyone involved






I really can't see us opening the new stadium early 2012 though!! Here's hoping!

great news not spending my time rubbing cas's nose's in it cause i hope were both in superleague cant stand the club but love derby days

I was lucky enough to be at the meeting and kept having to smile as all the councillors questions were very awkward for the NIMBY speakers (the ones that turned up that is

) They were made to look quite foolish on several occasions.

The lady from Methley Residents Association was asked how long she had lived in her house - when she said 10 years the councillor said (words to the effect of) 'Ah you may not know then that there was a dirty great pit on the site which was in operation 24 hours a day with coal wagons and trucks up and down Newmarket Lane all day long'



She then said that the area had been reclaimed and designated as a leisure amenity for residents - this was corrected by a councillor in that no such designation occurred .. and referred to gypsies/travellers who had regularly set up camp there.

I thought all our speakers were excellent ... and Clive Hudson gave an absolutely fantastic passionate speech.

A big well done to everyone - today is the 1st day of the rest of our lives

many thanks not just from me but also my kids who i think will benefit from this development. The city needed this and hopefully now it can be delivered.

Excellent news, i am made up especially for those who have invested such effort into getting this far.
