If this is correct then it's fantastic news.

Or the begining of the end

Brilliant news for Trinity.

Well done!

Baaa Humbug!

I'm sure Cas fans will be getting an update on their stadium very soon.

Ignore the Starbugs of this world. This is great news for you.

A long road ahead, but the early indications are that WTW will be anchor tenants in a new 12k capacity stadium for the start of the 2015 season.

I understand the words of caution but as far as I know, the stadium will be owned by a nfp Trust; that being the case, the likelihood of the club being crippled by the management costs and loss of revenue from sales is significantly reduced.

Happpy day for WTW fans!

Explain how potentially losing a large slice of your income is a good thing ?

Go on , give us a clue ?

Not for profit.

Just dont get blinded by all the shiney stuff , all that glitters isnt Gold

And ?

You've made your point Starbug ... but don't go on, we are very happy!!!

Just remember that , " Build it and they will come " was just a movie , to operate you will need to run at around 80 % capacity all the time , that wont happen unless some serious work is done pre , during and post building of this stadium

So was Scrooge, bah humbug !

We are currently averaging 8,000 this season.
I wouldnt have thought an extra 2k at a new stadium would be too difficult.

Maybe you should stop being so bitter and look at how our crowds have already improved.
We are currently up about 30% on last year (for the equivalent games) and could reach an average of 8,000 at the end of the season.
I know your experience has not been great but that doesn't mean everyone will experience the same.

We are all in a very good place today and you ain't going to spoil it.

It was that sort of thinkimg that sunk the Titanic and cost 1,500 lives

Congratulations Wakefield!

Apologies, but I've not been following your stadium situation too closely, but what's the next step now that planning permission has been granted?

Is all the funding in place etc?

Not bitter at all

Correct , yours could be worse , or it could be better , that depends on how much work your club are willing to put into making sure it is a positive experience

So yes , enjoy , but also be realistic , it isnt the end , just the begining , how it ends depends on what happens outside of the building of a stadium , that is the easy bit

Yes funding is in place.

Good stuff.

So, like I said, what's the next step?

Is there anymore red tape to get through, or can (in theory) work on the site begin as soon as?
