A month has passed since the Newmarket Presentation - are we any closer to planning permission being submitted, which was supposed to be matter of days away? Trying not to be negative but the weeks and months just seem to be passing by very quickly - 2011 draws ever closer.

A whole month, my word.

Sarcasm aside, he has a valid question.

Sure does.

Very soon. No one likes delays but it's better getting the application right now rather then amending it 3 months down the line and having to resubmit.

You can submit a planning application whenever you want but its not officially registered and logged until all the information required to make it a valid application is received.

If my information is correct there is one outstanding study that has to be completed and when it has been the application will go in and be officially logged and the "clock" will start.

As Khlav Kalash has said "very soon", be patient it has to be right.

As said above - it will be very soon, when the final parts of the application are completed and to everyones satisfaction.

These things cannot be rushed as it is vital that every T is crossed and every I dotted.

FWIW I am in constant contact regarding this and, in general terms, I am asking the very questions raised above - as most would given the chance - and it is frustrating, but we must be patient!

It's all good!

Thanks for the positive responses and reassurances. The sarcasm was not needed vastman - it was a genuine question from an anxious and worried supporter of over 50yrs.

Dont worry mate,its probably Vastys time of the month.

Personally i think most supporters feel the same as you - "anxious"

Valid question IMHO.

Every Wakey supporter will be just as anxious as the next or should be, news will come out as things develop and not before therefore we will have to be patient and wait, unlike fans from other clubs' what seem to be kept on being lead up the garden path. Btw if you work on the assumption that Vasty was being sarcastic yours was not really in the best of taste. Just an observation.

Thanks for reminding me why I rarely post on here - I thought I asked a perfectly legitimate question - or so I thought!

TBF - Most of the replies were very reasonable. Please don't take offence at one sharp reply!

as yet there isn't anything to put forward to the fans and silence can sometimes be the worse thing,
all information will be allowed through to the media as when it is deemed right to publicise it, if you read TRB post that should be enough to give you an idea how things are going,
as for vasty's short answer I wouldn't take too personal

We all have good reason to be hopeful about the eventual outcome, but we've been waiting for a good few years to take those final few steps. I'm sure that a combination of the extreme weather over the last few weeks and the Christmas/New Year festivities have contributed to to the delay, but a lot of us were expecting an announcement confirming submission to have been made a few weeks ago.

I'm sure that those if us who are close enough to matters to be kept "in the loop" even if only informally are as up to date as possible. But for those of us that aren't, all that's wanted is a simple (and straight) answer to a simple question - How much longer do we have to wait?

I have an answer to that question but - I have always shied away from giving out dates and deadlines as 'they have a habit of being missed and can lead to further frustration, disappointment and frustration. 'Soon' is as far as I am prepared to relate at this time - what I do know is that I support the principal that it has to be right, not rushed, and that we will be very happy with it when it goes in!

Ignore the grumpy ones, its a fair question.

No, we will be very happy when it comes out the other end - signed, sealed, delivered

Ditto

Well I'm glad that there is a timescale that's being worked towards, even if you won't tell us on here (PM perhaps?

)

I agree that missed deadlines can be frustrating (and the current frustration is because of the submission date indicated at the stadium launch has already been missed!) but equally the fact that a timescale is known can also reduce frustration in the interim.

Hurry up please

There's plenty comes onto these forums (not Wakey fans) who are going to get some from me, big style once we start building.
Does anybody know if it's possible to put together a Distribution Group to PM them all to save me sending individual insults.

I can think of one or two who would "get it" but i won't because its not worth it
