I was wondering that too when I asked the question, hence being another reason to reconfigure slightly when it will cost nothing but give more options.

Why do you think it would cost nothing? I really don't think you're grasping this at all. We'd have to move the pitch for the sake of what, ten feet? Which means the west terrace would be too far from the pitch and offer even worse viewing angles than it does now. Hence it would have to be rebuilt now. We don't have the money to do it now, nor tbh honest do we need to. Hence it would cost a fortune. I'm sorry but you seem intent on creating a problem that isn't there. I'll put it another way, capacity is NOT an issue at BV. We have not touched our current capacity since 2006. What we are is facility poor, thus the new East stand will be the HUB, with almost everything we need in it. It's exactly where we want it, facing the main road with a good car park and an impressive facade. The west terrace is fine as it is, just needs raising up about 18 inches. Truth is it doesn't even need a roof, the North and East will offer cover for 6,000. It's a summer game supposedly and it's never stopped Odsal being packed in the Bulls heyday.

There you go again, what an odd rant but it's simply what we've come to expect. I'm not sure why every post of your is always so confrontational and trying to start a fight. I wasn't even replying to you and you have already explained your view, to which I replied. There really was little more to add. It would cost no more to build the stand a little further away to add a little room. Nothing else has to move, sorry you can't comprehend that. Is it a big deal if it's not done? No. Do I care? No. It was a simply a straightforward question. It is strange how you are so aggressive on practically every thread but yet are so precious and touchy when its Wakefield and then no one else can have a view other than yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookey Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Well done to Wakefield. I've been critical of their facilities for years but thankfully, they have finally got a management team in place, which has produced results. I hope they have got their finances in place to be able to afford it, I hope they can produce additional non match revenue to assist the club and I hope they generally progress as a club and become a solid top 6/8 side. Over to Castleford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've suggested the same earlier on this thread about shifting the pitch and was met with a very similar response by the same individual. He seems to go in to a wild defensive confrontational rage if you dare to suggest an alternative to what's been planned or question anything about Wakey in general.

Taffy Tiger Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Cas have plans to re-develop WR , but still waiting for finances for funding , to be confirmed by Axiom , who were originally going to build a new stadium on their planned retail outlet development site just off the M62. Sadly , in the current climate , Axiom's plans for a retail park seem to have fallen through and I believe they are now looking to change the planning permission for another venture on the land instead . With that in mind , and at the last time of hearing , Axiom were going to offer Cas compensation (in a similar way to Wakefield's acquired funding for BV) , the money of which was to be used to re-develop Cas ground. instead of a new stadium build .
