I wish it were. Somebody claimed they had spotted Otter droppings, I’m not making it up. However the DOE inspector could find no evidence. Unfortunately they had to check it out despite it being patently ridiculous.

Inventive to be fair, it’s normally bats

Don't forget the Great Crested Newts....didn't they come into the equation at some point too ?

Probably, along with Unicorns and Tasmanian Tigers.

Any idea when the Newmarket planning goes in, that’s the key one, can’t see a problem with Belle Vue getting passed.

Up the Trin

I haven’t noticed anything on the council planning page yet, but then, I’m not sure which reference number the application has. John Minards is on record saying, He would like our supporters to back the Newmarket “Enabling Developmentl”. The approval of this application is key, to releasing funding for our stadium redevelopment.
I’m sure the club will inform us, when the time is right.

There is an application that is due to be determined on the same day as the east stand. I thought it was that.

Is this the one you mentioned. The determination date seems right.

20/02249/FUL | Full planning application for the development of three storage and distribution warehouses (24,519 sq. m, 5,435 sq. m and 6,304 sq m.)

Yes, not sure if it the related application but IIRC it looks like it sits on the plot of the propsed NM stadium.

Not really an update, just wondering if anyone on here has seen the photos of BV, taken on Monday and posted on Trinity twitter page. The ground looks superb, pitch immaculate, seems a shame to have plastic, but needs must.
Not sure how to post the link

Yeah, I saw it. To be fair it's bound to look good, it's barely been used in 18 months



It is a great pitch but I honestly think the reason we make such a fuss about it is part history but mainly because what surrounds it is so dreadful. You rarely here Saints or Hull bang on about their pitches, even though there's are almost certainly better than BV.

I think the loss of the grass is something we will forget very quickly if we start winning on 4g, I'm sure if we start off by losing on it people (not you) will never shut up about it.

Looked good, had to zoom in to check the new 4g hadn’t been put down already. It’s a shame but 4g can be used 24/7 if needed.

Latest document dated 23rd February
Page 4, section 3.3 is the conclusion we all wanted to hear.

Wakefield Trinity - Noise Impact Assessment
Review of Crowd and Fan Zone Noise

3.3 Conclusions

In conclusion, the potential noise impacts associated with the potential increase in crowd numbers and the provision of a Fan Zone are considered to be negligible and are unlikely to result in a significant change to ambient noise levels experienced by residents of nearby noise sensitive receptors during match days.

Great news.

With regards to the pitch - Carter explained on the zoom call that although it looks great on a photo that was posted it’s far from good. He explained that lack of investment has left it in poor condition and the top 2 inches go from been boggy in wet weather to rock hard in summer. Blames himself for not spending the money required but guess there’s only so much cash when we play on tight budgets.

Did jm say that parts of north stand terrace could be reused -it’s all broken to me ?

yes I think they said the lower tier from the walk way

Ears???

If I’ve read it correctly some of the upper terrace at the back will be covered with a platform for refreshment outlets.

Up the Trin

With new gym facilities in the new East Stand and the new 4g pitch all training will be in house.

Up the Trin

Yes, it's in the plans if you visit the WMDC web site, I can give you the link if you need it. the lower section is actually pretty good, its level and no breaks. It's from the walkway up that it's getting new terracing and being re-profiled, a massive step forward.

Health and safety just gets stupid, if you was to go view a house near a stadium with the intention of purchasing you would have to be one thick nugget to complain about crowd noise

Are you sure that Gym Facilities are in the East Stand. I’ve just had another look at the Plans,
GA Floor plan, Level 1, dated 24th November 2020. These plans only show the Hospitality facilities. The plans for the Rollin Shack, do show the layout for a Gym, in what is now the concert room, with changing rooms/Showers on the lower floor.
