Dewsbury?

Could ground be revamped without super bowl land?
And whoever has bought Super Bowl would need planning! And he would need the council for that ..

Could Newmarket still be built ?

Re: Moving From Belle Vue.. : Wed Jul 27, 2016 12:04 pm  

I think some people still don't get it. The ground could be purchased and upgraded to make a good stadium. I am also sure if there was the will, superbowl could still be acquired . We could stay down at Belle Vue and many would be happy to do that.

Alternatively a stadium at Newmarket could also be built to provide a super facility. Some people would prefer that.

These projects have not been scrapped at all, both are entirely feasible providing you find the MONEY !!!!!

The only thing preventing all this is that small matter of funds and there is only one source of that, Yorkcourt.

If you believe in fairy tales then your dream of a new stadium will come true. Personally I don't and by the actions of yorkcourt so far in all of this, I don't think they will hand over a penny.

If we reach the Challenge Cup Final we would have a chance to shout it out louder and to a bigger audience, via the media attention, the plight we are in regarding the Ground. Wonder how Mr. Box and Yorkcourt would like that?????

Had a couple of interesting chats on my annual trip back up north at the weekend for the derby match which, if true, means Belle Vue might not be dead yet, we just might need a while away. I spoke to two separate and unconnected people (though both move in circles that could hear about these kind of things) and it seemed quite open knowledge that the plan is now to give up Newmarket to the developer in return for them purchasing of the ground from the bank and the funding of new stands and hospitality put up in the place of the current ones, whilst the council are also prepared to purchase a piece of grassed land nearby and donate it to the club for use as a matchday car park. I don't know what area of land as i was told that wasn't decided yet. I can only think of the sports & social club nearby unless they are considering somewhere further out and a park and ride system? Could be way out on that though. Now whether it is old news and the superbowl and gym being bought by a property developer has made a mess of this i'm not sure but it didn't seem a big secret at the weekend. Anyway one to add to the rumours list.

Tallies up with what i was told last week. It didn't take long to get out, may as well have saved myself the hassle and put it on here anyway! Doubt TRB is going to be happy though! I guess that he wanted it keeping under wraps means the superbowl sale hasn't affected the plans too much and we might finally get somewhere. Fingers crossed, i guess we'll see soon enough.

The land you refer to has been offered to the club on numerous occasions going back more than 10 years. Its at the far side of Agbrigg Road between the houses and the stream. However a local councillor called Olivia Rowley got to know about this and stopped it going any further due to the fact a donkey grazed on it. If the council sold the land the poor donkey would have nowhere to graze.

I believe this is no longer an issue as said donkey has since gained a cabinet position alongside it's brethren and as such now has a nice plush office within the town hall.

Box has been the leader of the council for years!
