Congratulations on geting some good news.

Is there any details on when it will be complete Hopefully with it being brown belt they should be able to get it up and running ASAP.
Will you beat Cas to get it up and running

the only issue is i hope it has room to expand. 12,000 does not seem that many when you think of what increase in crowd you will have with a new stadium plus the attractions of Derby Games.

im sure they may be an extension plan but wire seem to have more than enough room at the moment

Come on how many 12,000 gates have either of us had? Don't let's get a head of ourselves. It's taken you lot 15 years to even get close to filling your stadium. I'd much rather a small full ground than a big half empty one any day, especially one that has expansion built into it.

As for details, they will be fed to the media over the next month I believe.

This is great news ! I'll be able to walk to the games !

Not many people that can complain either about the development, would say there are a maximum of 10 houses in the immediate vicinity and if double yellows are put down the road to prevent parking then no one should mind. Plenty of space to put plenty of official parking too.

whens planning permission going in !?!

Donny's is 15,231 but how many times a decade would we get up to that?

Realistically the only time it will sell out is for Play-off (if we're luckily enough to make it and be at home) games or possibly against Leeds or Cas. So that's 3 games a year!

In time i think we should be looking at expanding it to 14,000 - 15,000, but that could be a long way down the line.

very easily, we have a massive sleeping RL populace. start winning, with the new ground and we won't be able to move, expansion has to be built in, as i'm sure it will be!

Come on Wakie! Well Done!
