Not wanting to look through the whole thread but is this stadium to be a council owned and run facility ?

If it is be very careful

You could find yourself out of pocket compared to Belle Vue

The whole ' ethos ' of new stadia is that they work for you 7 days a week generating money , which is fine if they are generating money for your club but if they have to generate money to pay overpaid , unneccessay council staff to run them , then things dont work out quite the same

You must make sure that you are the ones running it , yes you might have to have a couple of council controlled ' watchers ' in the management but if it ends up as council run it will be of no financial benifit

Hope it works out for you , also make sure there is at least a full side standing

I get your point, but there is no way we can be worse off. With it we get a franchise and without it we don't and that is 1.5 million a year. We simply can't afford not to have it, even if pound for pound it isn't as useable as BV.

The point I am making is to get the right deal for your club you must do everything in your power to make sure that the management of the club is in charge of the running of the stadium

Ignore this at your peril

Your input is appreciated.

The stadium will be controlled by the Community Trust. Yes it includes councillors, but they are only part of the trust. A sub-committee (Sir Rodney & Co) are tasked with delivering and then operating the stadium, with the intention being that it is a stadium for us all, with Trinity the anchor tennants.

The rental costs etc have already been considered, having already been looked at previously as well when discussing Thornes.

All sorted!

Keep the good news coming Phil!

Thanks for your (and the rest of SWAG's) hard work.

It's just the news we've been waiting for, ticks all the boxes as far as most Wakefield fans's expectations are concerned, I imagine, especially the fact that it's still within the boundaries of what we all consider to be Wakey.

What makes me wonder is the statements made by the developers and Sir Rodderz on the part of the Community Trust. How big is the district/community the stadium intends to serve? Does it extend eastwards as well?

We all understand that post mate we really do.

1 No backbone Box and the gang, lets take a walk in the park

2 Sir Rodney and the gang, who i don't know to have a beer with but i gather he won't start something he can't finish and IMO thats why this as been ongoing behind the scenes for so long. I doubt he'll have left anything to chance and Planing permission will be nailed on.
I will be relieved to see the ground up and running and we've had false dawns before BUT this is deal or no deal

Anybody know who the main contractor is?
