If we are planning to be playing there next year then it would have to be an existing stadium but that doesn't mean that the existing stadium wont be improved.

It's got to be built in the next 11 months, so a new build is out of the equation, it can only be a temporary redevelopment of an existing ground. College Grove is out of the question. As is Ossett Town and Albion. The plans Featherstone have involve shifting the stadium footprint (I think) so that kind of limits the option. More and more I think it points to Dewsbury. Open ends, relatively new and within 6 miles of. BV.

It would certainly be handy for me but i'm not sure it would satisfy the powers that be. Never know though.

Is there still a drainage problem with the pitch at Dewsbury though that could be made worse by filling the ends of the ground in, thus restricting the airflow?

In todays Express it saying Newmarket is still option A but they are looking at another option (a Newmarket style build) with another sports if Newmarket fails. A new stadium with Ossett Town on Queens Drive was back doing the rounds the other week with them selling Stade France (named after our current shirt sponsers) to tesco, so that fits the bill. As for next season staying at Belle Vue with a tempory stand Bloomfield Road style

I and Al Fayed says all wakey needs is an harrods.

I think the plan is Dewsbury it makes sense the stands could be upgraded to SRL using the land loan money from WMDC parking is actually on the Dewsbury Waky boundary and it's easy to get to. Oakwell would have been too costly per match

regarding Cas and the supermarket deal I believe there could be some restrictions on building a supermarket on WR and of course the other supermarkets in the area would pick up on that and object

Whichever way ther is a long way to go for both our teams

Hecky thump how much more "in the know" do the fans want to be?

I propose that the Wildcats TV format be expanded to a daily live streaming programme based on the BBC Breakfast format called Belle Vue Breakfast. Every morning James Elston assumes the John Turnbull role and Davide gets his thighs out and does the Sian Williams. From 07 zipper". The camera zooms in on his face to catch his laughter, which struggles to mask the feeling of loss as he holds in the tears.

Other features would be the "Breaking News" sign that crashes into the front of screen to announce that the pitch sprinklers have been switched on. And, text votes on issues such as should the Wildcat Dolls wear red, blue or white uniforms?

The time it took you to think that up and type it could have been better spent, since the stance you're parodying doesn't actually exist; I don't see anyone advocating 24 hour, fly-on-the-wall, rolling news style output - just a clear statement about the ground issue. We may not get that any time soon due to confidentiality or sensitivity of information, but that doesn't make wanting it wrong, does it?

You've also ruined any future enjoyment I could reasonably have expected to get from Sian Williams' thighs, which is just mean.

Its friday and the sun's out, just having a bit of fun.

I understand what you're saying, but the club is doing a lot, lot better than it did. There's only so much they can and should say, so I'm happy to be kept in the dark until the big grandiose statement of intent arrives rather than getting little bits and bats every now and then.

Anyway, Friday, let's get that Rebecca Black tune on and think about whether to sit in the front or back of a car. I chose to drive from the back seat; more exciting that way.

Oh the irony

4 temporary stands on Empire Stores playing field with parking for 2,000 cars on the now cleared site of La Redoubt!

Walking distance from Lupset, Thornes, Flanshaw, Ossett, Horbury and the city centre.

that will be a none starter due to the amount of bats that will get disturbed

Old bats!

How about this statement from a former Featherstone Rovers Director...

TERRY MULLANEY

If you would like to point out where i have said i dont want wakefield to get a new ground or gone round rubbishing wakefields plans, then do so. In fact i await with baited breath.

I have always supported wakefields ground being built and if i have any doubts about it being built i have kept them to myself as to constantly be rubishing another teams plans (especially when you know jack all, the same as everyone else) makes you seem at best foolish and at worst bitter and desperate.

Saw this too.

Not sure but Fev may have purchased some second hand stands to put up at Post Office Road, Could be a good move in the medium term.

Enough to pass the SL stadium criteria, or in preparation for the Championship. Whats the current capacity of POR?

Thats a big question and one that needs an answer and quickly.

The latest from AG on the Express website, is talk of an entirely new site as a back-up to Newmarket, not a tenancy at an existing stadium.

If POR erects temporary stands which enables us to stay in SL, that's fine, otherwise there is no need to go there - may as well be at BV if it's in the Championship.

As previously mentioned Wakefield FC must vacant College Grove at the end of this season so there is a possible link up with them if it's a new build rather than a redevelopment

A.G has clearly stated in the Express that plan B involves sharing a new build stadium with a local sports team,to be ready for the 2013-14 season.Until then we are to erect temporary covered stands at B.V with a view to staying there up to 2012-2013.Seems pretty unambiguous to me.

That's the quote I highlighted and I never said it was you, just pointing out that there are fans from Castleford who take great happiness in every bit of bad news Trinity get, so it cuts both ways.
Before you jump on your high horse bud, you might want to go through my post history because I have never made any comment about Cas' stadium plans ever while I've been a member here. So you might want to check your facts before the name calling.

Interesting stuff on the Express website. Oakwell ruled out, a new stadium on a site people would like to see developed with another sporting club as a Plan B. Temporary stands earmarked to increase the under cover capacity at BV in the hope of securing a SL license for 2012-13.

Indeed Plan B is a newbuild stadium on land that he can't see anyone objecting to which is about the same distance away as Newmarket? Interesting times...

Where would they fit temp stands though? I suppose there is space in front of the Benidorm boxes. Would they be looking at knocking down the other boxes and building there? You could put some in the paddock in front of the stand, but you'd have to raise the level of the steps as they're below pitch level and that would reduce the capacity.
