Agbrigg Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 There is a full press release on the wakey website. It doesn't mention time scales but as the demolition of the stand will start mid season it's safe to assume they will be cracking on pretty fast. Look it's not what the club was promised all those years back but it's still positive. The ground is back in ownership plus the car park and old superbowl land. New floodlights are already installed. My understanding is a makeover and improved terracing on the north stand. New east stand and possibly a bit more development around the cats bar. Ok it's it's not a complete rebuild but it's nevertheless a vast improvement. Not only that ,we are not reliant on the whim of a football club or other third party, so will be more secure than some. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fartown back in the 70s/80s was a bigger dump than Belle View. Glad to hear your good news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it's such massive news that I bet they even have fireworks and celebrations in the States. 1 6 Sky Sports Jenna Brooks to Jake Connor regarding England selection : "Shaun Wane has said that he's spoken to you about why you were left out, he's also said he's told you what you needed to do more of, I'm interested, what do you need to do more of and did you do it tonight?"

IIRC, the redevelopment of the north stand was to be complete ahead of 23 season. The new East stand would be longer, maybe back end of 23 season but perhaps not finished until the start of 24 season 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnsley to start their own RL team, against all the odds get into SL. Then trash them,asset strip their best players,swipe their funding.
