Probably so, yes.

The other application deadline has been pushed back to 9th November. Realistically speaking, this means the council wants more time to find a way out. But if we can object to this application too, and cause another delay, then both the Council and Yorkcourt will be in a really tough position!

On news again about the demand outweighing supply for big warehouses with the big distribution warehouses becoming the high street of the future. Newmarket probably on of the best locations for motorway network in the north of England you’d have thought York court and the council would have attracted enough business to sell the development twice over by now.

Up the Trin

Absolutely mate, it stinks. They can't put warehousing up quick enough around Cas, seems to be another link road every 6 months which quickly become lined with new warehousing which are soon occupied.
Newmarket is in an equally good position motorway wise so why is nothing being built? I think we both know the answer.

Just been past the adewsbury ground and some construction work taking place behind the sticks at the far end of the ground.

Something has to happen soon and think it will do. I’m going for Balne Lane.

Up the Trin

I admire your optimism, however (according to the last article in the daily star a month or so ago) the club aren't so confident

I walk past the Balne Lane playing fields twice a day and there isnt a hope in hell of a stadium being built there.
However, there could be possibilities for community facilities, which may allow for a re development of BV



We all need a blue moon, flying pig and the end of a rainbow to converge on Wakefiled simultaneously and even then it still seems more unlikely than the odds for something to happen.

Its SIX YEARS since the Newmarket development was passed and still nothing and the poor residents of Stanley and Methley wake up to the big white box, shame on WMDC

The Balne Lane site is feasible for the community stadium think this has been confirmed by the stadium trust, if it happens we can only hope and see if it does.

Up the Trin

I’m an optimist and a dreamer and hope good will happen and we get what we were promised (or near enough)

Up the Trin

Which stadihm trust wax that then?

The only Trust, has the other ever been registered? Got told they’ve looked at Balne Lane and it could be done, also the site could have just been thrown in the stadium pot to muddy the water but will support it if genuine. Sir Rodney Walker said it’s the most positive he’s been on stadium progress so it must be a goer.

Up the Trin

WTF it got to do with him?

#worrying

You’ve heard an awful lot over the years that hasn’t happened. Add this one to the list.

Haven’t we all.
The Rodney Walker statement was in the express a few months ago wasn’t it? got told the trust had been up to the site a month or so ago and said it was possible.
Up the Trin

Then they are being badly advised again.

Which trust, the genuine Community trust or Rodney's own "ghost" trust? If Rodders suggested it was possible then write it off now, the blokes a snidey !

I think Walker needs to realise that his freedom of the City title that was granted to him by Box, doesn't give him the right to cheat, lie to and shaft the Wakefield public. He thinks we are all peasants living in his own little manor.

"Lover" the word I used was only four letters! Bloody predictive text!

You are Peter Box and I claim my £5



As I, and others (including MC and CB) have previously stated, Balne lane fields are a total non-starter purely from an access and parking point of view. It is just another red herring thrown in by Box to try and make it look as though the council are still trying to fulfil their legal obligations


If you live local enough then go down there yourself and take a look....the only access road is along Balne Lane either from the city side through the single-file railway bridge or the other direction through Flanshaw and Peacock housing estates with the latter being the only place where people could park on match days

From looking at a satellite view, isn't there a more fundamental problem? There doesn't seem to be any way to access the field for the sort of vehicles required for stadium construction. And you can bet your bottom dollar that the developer of the new housing complex, or the homeowners who have just forked out for a house overlooking fields but with close city centre links, will keep it tied up in planning for eons.


The only viable short-term solution, and we need it now, is Belle Vue.

Im a proud supporter of Wakefield Trinity and the City of Wakefield so definitely not Peter box.
I’ve not seen or heard MC or CB or the trust say Balne Lane can’t happen. As for access/parking it would be easily sorted with parking restrictions around stadium and you can’t get better access than City Centre for parking and transport links. If it doesn’t happen it won’t be because of lack of access it will be the same reason nothing has happened with the other proposals.
If we don’t get stadium sorted it’s the end of the club certainly as a SL club simple as that. Belle Vue would be the quickest solution but it’s been nearly a year since that was announced and even mannis cryptic tweets have stopped. Just hope we are looking into every avenue (providing we can get access)

Up the Trin

You’re right with Belle Vue, a betting man would say that’s what will happen just not the deal we wanted.
