Not sure if I am right but....I have read that the new wakie ground is due to cost around £19 million and that they are hoping to get around £12 million from the sale of belle vue, but did sainsburys not buy the land off them a few years back?!

Where do folk get this rubbish, as KK says the ground has been sold as part of the new development.

Two points...

1: Why would Sainsbury's want a site like BV?

2: If BV was worth 12 million we would be able to build our own new ground.

5m "spare" then, still enough to finish the construction of the stadium there I'd think. 12-18 months to build a stadium is actually plenty of time now a days too with builds of this size usually taking 12-14 months and with the amount of workers that will be on this project it's very doable.

The slip road round the back, which will be built by my source of this new info and his team, is instead of a new junction (which would have cost 5m - not viable). and will ease congestion around the Ford garage on a match day.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear... this would be funny if it were not so sad

I think the sliproad around the back of B and Q is very optimistic, especially considering it's built right next to the motorway and there's no room.

New road is to be built from the roundabout next to the motorway at the top of Cutsyke. Supporters (mainly away) will be directed off the M62 at J31 to use the bypass from Normy Industrial estate & access the ground from there. The main stand will be facing that way.

do you know if the club are any closer to naming the architect yet ?

Why let the truth get in the way of some great rumour. Lets pretend that we got £12m and sign Darren Lockyer with whats left

Oh look who's back

This in information coming straight from someone who has spent a hell of a lot of time over the last few years working on the roads into and around the area and worked on the land where the stadium will be when they started flattening it out.

Just because you say it's not happening it doesn't make facts coming from employees of Waystone sad or wrong, you don't know everything like you like to think: you don't know the finances of Cas, Westerman isn't the most over rated player in the whole history of any sport ever like you like to tell us and most important of all, unless you work for Waystone and have been told different then the people who are working on the stadium project, your opinion is in fact, worthless

The person who told me thinks it's going from the other side of the stadium near the Ford garage etc to ease congestion at the round about there (which he also said is being changed, as well as the road in front of McDonalds is getting redone, thankfully seems at the minute it's terrible). Or does it go all the way from Cutsyke to the Ford garage?

All the designs have been done. There won't be a road around the back due to a) the motorway and b) there been no room. Look on Google maps and see if you can try and negotiate a road around the back. The road will come off the normal roundabout for Xscape/Freeport, 2nd turning up Whistler Dr and then connecting up to the roundabout at Cutsyke.

Re: New Stadium - Tiger TV update : Mon Dec 28, 2009 4:32 pm  

So, will the new road be built along the motorway from the new cutskye roundabout?

I can understand if this is the case, away fans who wish to drive to glasshoughton will get off the m62 at j31,
turn onto the normanton industrial estate and then use the new link roads to get to the cutskye roundabout.

Makes more sense than another road off j32

Re: New Stadium - Tiger TV update : Mon Dec 28, 2009 6:38 pm  

Main route for home and away is via jct31 to the new roundabout at Cutsyke from where a new link road will lead up to the Stadium and the road back down to the roundabout at KFC/Xscape. This roundabout is to be partialy closed off to form a large Gyratory junction with Pizza Hut/ Mcdonalds in the middle. I'ts there for all to see in the plans on Wakefield MDC Planning site .
