I believe they are more than happy at Featherstone for the medium term. Moving forward long term they may well look to a city centre base but only on a basis where they have some control over the stadium operations.

There is always Trinity ladies FC

Looks like the last floodlight has come down at least.

Just as a point of note this part of the statement hasn't really changed since since the original planning went in last year, YC have always been pushing this aspect. It's been on the portal since December 2020. The fact that this development hasn't yet happened is down to the council planning department effectively demanding a re-design or they'd refuse permission, something that with the original 3 warehouse plan YC said was unviable. So they have re-designed to a 2 larger buildings plan but whether this new design will appease the powers that be remians to be seen. Without wanting to burst anybodies bubble it still is in the balance and i think any hope of the decision being made this side of christmas is more than a little optimistic given the history of all this, although i hope i'm wrong. They'll be more back & forth between the parties involved yet but once it is (hopefully) passed things should move relatively quickly.

Yes I agree a lot of the document “Planning Statement plot 8” 16th December 2020, contains a lot of similar information as this latest Document “Revised Planning Statement “ September 10th 2021, but this latest document now suggests the building could begin late this year.
Again, I appreciate everything may depend on the Planning committee as to when permission to build goes ahead. We live in hope.

Just listened to the MC and WP interview on Trinity tv, regarding the coaching appointment. At the end, Martin Sadler asked MC a question regarding stadium planning application, and MC said. “We go Planning mid November “.

Must admit reading the last few pages........I'm more optimistic than ever of things moving with the stadium upgrade.

Great stuff!

Yep...there was a large cherry-picker outside the Conny club yesterday and they were using it to remove the old bulbs and now the whole tower has gone

Presuming the new east stand will accommodate the new changing rooms looks like the players will enter the field at the half way line like they used to do in the 70 ans 80s

Just had a look at the developers application site on WMDC planning portal.
It seems no one has supported this application to date.
I recall John Minards saying earlier in the year, that should Trinity and the Developers reach an agreement regarding funding, the club would ask fans to back the developers application to help getting it passed by the planning committee.
I know the that meeting isn’t until mid November, but perhaps we should be hearing some advice from the club sooner rather than later,

What you need to do is contact MC via the contact page on the club site and ask him what he wants us to do on this issue. You’ll get a reply he’s pretty good if not instant.

Then if he wants us to support it then put a link on here and I’m sure plenty will.

I can do it for you if you wish but to be honest you seem to have far more idea of how this all works than I do.

Hope that helps
