I was advised on Tuesday, by an employee of the club that the 2 floodlights due for replacement in April, have not yet been replaced. I’ve no reason to doubt that person. There is no WMDC planning meeting scheduled for May, perhaps our application will be heard in June, but at the Q&A sessions, MC and JM, have both said, demolishing the East stand would happen in September, after our last home game. I hope I’m wrong, but I think the September date is looking less likely.

Sounds ominous. With Carter now considering his position within the club presently too it doesn’t look good for Wakefield Trinity. I really hope we can get this east stand as it will resuscitate the club to some degree.

It’s probably just apprehension with so many false dawns on my part.

I suspect you are reading too much into this though I fully understand why.

As far as I'm aware the Cats bar roof and the floodlights are being funded by the club and are not part of the development package.

The roof has been done, I suspect the lights will follow very shortly. Remember we are still under Covid restrictions and things are still running slowly, I'd give it at least another month before worrying.

As for the planning, Covid again I suspect.

Understand your fears but if MC were to leave it wouldn't be because the scheme had collapsed, in fact, I suspect it's the only thing keeping him here. Six years is a long time and the last two would have drained anyone.

Just another question.was there in mention of an training pitch etc .......?

The main pitch is going to be a 4G pitch so all field training will be done on it so there wont be a need for a training pitch

Tomorrow is a chance to use your vote locally in the local elections. On here most people are not happy with how the stadium farce has been handled coupled with new build just approved that's 6m higher than New old I certainly know which box my vote is not going into!

Yeah I suppose that’s true. Would be a strange time to leave I suppose with a big re-development in planning stages and funding secured. I’ll stay positive it’s going to happen till we know more. I think the planning should be fine. It’s more the funding that I hope we have a cast iron agreement for.

Isn't it JM's baby anyway?

Surly reduces its life span in half ?

A Q&A on Monday with Michael & John. Register with Connor and get your questions in.

Or you pay for two facilities, broad as it is long perhaps.

Well ok fair point but ,if the first team .playing on it training,academy,ladies it’s not going last long! Somebody has said in a previous post that a life span of a 4g pitch is about 10 years

Update, sent MC an e-mail.

Floodlights should have started last week but there was a galvanizing issue?? Hopefully next week.

Planning still on track for June, nothing has changed on the funding model.

Hope that helps.

That's saved me the Zoom time, thanks.

True but I suspect there will be a few more issues discussed might get interesting.

One ‘more time for good measure?

I’m pretty sure the club will have considered before submitting planning whether it’s fit for purpose and financially viable. It may be 10 years but this would be more than offset with the usage/rental I would have thought and then some.

That's my cross in a box today!

Ah well Rodney Walker paying for it so balls to it we might have well use it !
