I try to keep an eye on the council planning meetings, and today I noticed the June 17th meeting on the council site shows.

10:00 am CANCELLED - Planning and Highways Committee

I am aware that JM mentioned at the May Q&A, it would probably be the July planning meeting when both the Stadium and the Newmarket plot 8 applications would be heard. He also said they (the Newmarket lot) had been told by the council and Trinity, that the July deadline had to me met.
It mentions on the council site, “there are no meetings in August “ therefore, if the Enabling application (plot eight) isn’t heard at the July meeting, and as mentioned at the Q&A session the Stadium funding hasn’t been agreed between Trinity and Developers, the club would walk away.
We have not had any news on how or if those discussions on funding have been concluded or ongoing. I know the parties involved will have to keep meeting discussions, confidential until any agreements are signed sealed and delivered, but surely, we could be told, talks are taking place.
I, along with others on here, still have reservations about the developers, and considering that the club has still not asked fans, public, to support the plot 8 application, is a concern.
If the July meeting doesn’t work out for Trinity, then it’s highly unlikely that the September start date of Stadium redevelopment will happen.
Sorry to be a bit doom and gloomy just as the playing side of the club is looking brighter, but our long term future is still uncertain.


As someone involved in this since 2004, I'm not the least bit worried. It will happen when it happens and these delays overall are not huge.

It is worth noting that Covid has had a huge effect on the situation. You have to laugh, only Trinity could be so unlucky as to be on the brink of something big only for a pandemic to arrive. Nobody saw that one coming.

We were actually quite lucky, the electrical power boxes were well installed the first time and are still serviceable and are being kept, saved us a fair bit of cash.

I find it oddly tragic that in 30 years the only major investments at BV have been floodlights :(


The electric power boxes, are they the grey cabinets at the back or side of the pylons and looked quite rusty if yes they are now green very shiny indeed. I would suggest they're new.

Well if the old bulbs were halogen, are they not going to be deemed illegal

No the old bulbs that the LED lights replaced, if so we would have had to upgrade soon anyway, so good we sorted it now

Ah, well they wouldn't have been illegal - they would have just been very hard to source, as they wouldn't be being made anymore.

Metal halide discharge lamps are still being manufactured and sold to help maintain existing installations, nearly all new floodlighting is LED so as the control gear fails the fittings would be getting replaced by LED, plus there is now a generation of LED lamps that are retrofit in discharge lighting.

The cabinets may be new, I'd expect them to be part of the new lights but the electrical plumbing that feeds them and the foundations they sit on is the same as far as I'm aware unless other issues were found.

Don’t believe me? Does it really matter? Fine, as you’re clearly training to create another nonissue then email the club and ask, I also believe MC stated the same on zoom but I may be wrong on that.

Bet you’re the kind of person who hunts through 10-year-old tweets to find young cricketers who make the sort of silly comments 16-year-olds make. Oh, what a joy. :roll: :roll:

Bu heck, vasty, I'd have hated to have been sat next to you at school. I can't make my mind up whether you were the school swot, the school know-it-all, the class comedian or the school bully or all of them !!! :lol: :lol:

Re: Ground improvements : Sat Jun 12, 2021 6:19 pm  
The only part you are correct with is that the foundations are solid, pylons, lamps, cabling, connectors, and the shiny green cabinets all new.

Who would hook up a brand new floodlighting system to power equipment over 30 years old I do believe that there are legal standards to be met with electrical installations and gaffa taping new to old is probably a no-no at best, and breaching the regulations illegal at worst.
