The. Rollin shack will be renamed as Community Hub and the legal requirements between Trinity and Council are showing on the application documents. The application plans shows the current concert room as a gymnasium however, I believe the gym is now on hold subject to funding streams. The new application still shows details for the cafe Which is the smaller room. I would imagine the community hub cafe, has to be open when members of the community are using the other facilities within the Hub, but that won’t be available for some time yet.

Does that mean we'll lose all the Trinity artwork on the wall? I hope they replicate in the new stand

Reckon there will be plenty of room in the new stand for that and more.

For the sake club and fans I hope to god this application goes through, needs must !

For once we agree.

This I fear is it.

Note, it may not go through first time on minor issues. Not ideal but only a small delay.

Plot 8 is more of a worry as it’s both or nothing.

Trinity still requires the Stadium plans to pass looking at this paragraph from recent documents, it seems the council still paying £2 million, don’t know where the other £8.3 million comes from though if plot 8 application fails. As you say plot 8 is the golden key.

The applicant for planning application ref. 20/02249/FUL proposes to make an £8.8 million contribution towards the delivery of the stadium improvement works which are the subject of this report. The applicant argues that this contribution, in combination with a £2m allocation from the WMDC Sports Resilience Fund, would facilitate the delivery of the stadium improvement works (which Spirit of 1873 estimate will cost £10.8m). The applicant argues that the stadium improvement works would result in significant public benefits associated with providing suitable standard accommodation for Wakefield Trinity R.L.F.C and the utilisation of the enhanced facilities by community groups.


A set of Planning Obligations are proposed to be included within a legal agreement Under Section 106 of the Act which would be signed by both Spirit of 1873 (The Club) and Newmarket Lane Ltd and would require the £8.8m contribution to be made within 1 week of the approval of a Delivery Plan for the stadium improvement project. A further (negatively framed) planning obligation would bar Newmarket Lane Ltd from commencing the warehouse development until both the approval of the Delivery Plan and the payment of the contribution.

However, if the planning application for the stadium improvement works which is the subject of this report (application ref. 20/02587/FUL) is approved, the resultant planning permission would be a self-contained consent for the carrying out of the improvement works and the planning consent would not control the source of funding for the scheme. Any consent for the stadium improvement works would stand irrespective of whether the application for the warehouse development is approved or refused. Therefore, the information set out above should be treated as contextual information only which is not material to the determination of the stadium improvement works application, which should be considered upon its merits alone.

Are you referring to the Artwork on the outside of the current East Stand? JM said at the Friday lunch, when building work starts, it’s likely that a full pitch length tall fence will run down that side, hopefully to provide temporary advertising space, perhaps some of the Artwork could go on the fence, how good would that look, so much History there.

What art work, the East Stand has sponsors boards but no club stuff. The art work in Rollin Shack I'm not sure it would stand up to being outside but I'm sure that it will be put to good use

There was a number of large paintings of past Trinity greats players, situated along the back of the East stand, I believe they were painted by the same chap who produced the graphics for a recent Commercial shown on iTV

I might have done the Luppos Rule one if it's still there. It was part of a triptych, the others being on Snapethorpe Hospital wall and the chippy at the end of Broadway.

That art work was removed sometime ago

All sounds positive, fingers crossed for Thursday.

Twenty four hours to go.

Let's all agree on one thing, please can our politicians not let us down again. I realise that planning is as much a function as a political debate and the in theory is non-political but let's say political support always helps.

I really think this is it, if this fails then the club as a top-flight entity is over.

This really is poop or bust.

Let us all

It's very difficult to see how / why this could be knocked back but, we have been here or, somewhere similar so many times before.
Let's hope this really is it and Trinity can begin the rebuild and start really progressing both on and off the field

Hope you all get a good outcome, as trying to get an improved stadium for Trinity has been a very long drawn out process.

Yeah by my reckoning about as long as us having a good run in the Challenge cup!

It’s all academic anyway as Electric cars will be replaced by hydrogen cars in about 5 years. I think all the new fleet of London buses are already hydrogen and the latest test for cars is a range of 800 miles on a full tank.

I'm hoping the hydrogen technology will have advanced into the mainstream by the time I'm ready for a new car. I just can't get into the electric mindset.

Important things first, I’m hoping we get into the 21st century and provide good quality craft type beers, get Ossett brewery involved or Revolver (I believe they’re called) from Cas.

Best move I made absolutely noi problem with an electric car

Except the price to buy it in the first place?

Lease mine got the 3k grant saving several hundred quid a month on my land Rover discovery sport petrol version I had. Cheap as chips to run costs £40 to 700 miles on more expensive public electric points compared to free on solar it's a no brainer for me

Yep, the final one was changed about 6-8 weeks ago
