Yes, and apparently, the other 2 floodlights at the North end, will have to wait until end of season, due to constraints of the North stand means a crane is required which will have to travel on the pitch. Let’s hope everything comes to fruition
Why wouldn’t it, they are all bought and paid for. I understand why but we don’t half look on the black side at times

Are you allowed to use the term “black side”? , what I referred to all coming to fruition, was the whole stadium redevelopment project, JM on the Q&A the other night, just seemed to muddy the waters a bit with his comments about still being in negotiations with developers about the funding,and being prepared to walk away etc.

Probably not, I do hope I don't get anymore cancelled than I already am.
Sadly, there is nothing for September planning meeting that involves the Stadium Redevelopment. I wish the citizens of Wakefield had a council with some backbone, that would stand up to the property developers involved in this fiasco. There must be a time limit to how long a developer can stall this development. In order not to fulfill their obligations to the enabling fund.

I think if we had a council that had a backbone this stadium fiasco would have been sorted out a long time ago. I cling to the thought that no news is good news, but the deafening silence about progress is doing nothing for my hopes!
The council can't force the developer to submit an application, they can only work on what they recieve and any subsequent approval and conditions of said application. Frustrating and a further delay tactic but ultimately YC will want to develop at some point, it's just whether or not they are prepared to play the long game and hope we go away somehow. Even if that were to happen, the council should stand strong and get the community facility they shouldve do out of this sham.

Over the years of this fiasco, I’ve lost track re the council’s involvement regarding the initial handover of council land to the developers. I’m sure if someone could dig deep enough, they might unearth that the land could be returned to council ownership if the developers failed to act within a timescale. I know, I’m just grasp at straws
Thought M C or J M mentioned on the last zoom call that they were hopeful it would go in for October .Please dont hold your breath with this council .
Yorkcourt have just submitted totally revamped plans for the plot, changing the number of warehouses, size & layout etc, which will take time to process and consider. Don't expect it to hit the committee for consideration anytime soon.

Wasn't the land owned, at least in part, by Oldroyds of Rhubarb fame?
