Seriously though Wakey have an awesome core of fans who deserve better than the current slum, so I hope this time everything goes through and the bureaucrats and their cronies are not able to interfere. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
fevtom 577 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) There's a decent chance that this will actually get built this time but I really hope the north stand is renovated to a good standard and not just a case of filling the cracks in. Looking at the documents it seems the lower North Stand will remain the same but the upper will get new barriers and new food units.

fevtom 577 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Does anyone know what the official capacity is now and what it's expected to be after this is completed? Link to post Share on other sites
cookey 1,262 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Thanks for the update,genuinely hope it materialises. With reduced funding,the only way to survive in SL in the medium term,will be to generate outside income. Frankly,I've had more than enough of broken promises from Castleford,so I suspect they will end up in the Championship within 5/7 yrs. In the new regime,there wont be room for two clubs adjacent to one another. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Currently 7258 and will increase to 8866, The capacity of the new stand will be 2507 and renovations to the North Stand will allow that to function with a full capacity of 3500. There'll also be a permanent electronic display screen (scoreboard?) in the NW corner. Link to post Share on other sites

Rioman 177 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Probably. As the Western terrace is not included in this phase, although the dugouts will be relocated to the Eastern side giving a slightly better view of the shins. Link to post Share on other sites
Kirmonds pouch 336 Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 For those wishing to be serious, yes I get the joke, here are the plans in full. From what I hear and see this one really does have legs and although I won't totally believe until the diggers are on site I'm optimistic. It's very detailed to you'll need half an hour or so. Enjoy and fingers crossed. https://planning.wakefield.gov.uk/onlin ... 7D2QQJOS00 Link to post Share on other sites

dboy 300 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 For those who may have missed the subtleties of this thread - YOU can go on the planning portal and add a comment of support for the development. All those people who (perhaps quite rightly), criticize the view, and amenities etc, saying what a horrible place to visit (or even better, you DON'T visit Wfd because the ground is sub-standard), here is your chance to do a little bit towards fixing those issues. Or you can just keep complaining on rugby forums about it being substandard. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Number 16 1,550 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Who owns the now empty land between the stadium and road? It seems to me that if the new stand (if it happens) can be moved 10 yards to the east, and the pitch similarly, then there's plenty of scope to develop the west terrace in the next phase (if...).

The club own it, but the pitch isn't moving. There is plenty of room inside the ground at the Western terrace - the issue is, it is locked in on the outside, with part of it's length nothing more than a 4 foot wide alley.
