If you're interested, I can update you on that one

All the stands have now arrived and are in the process of being sorted / cleaned / painted ready for when the planning is passed. Plans to be submitted shortly and already had very positive response with that issue from the relevant department (well, they're not calling it in for a public enquiry anyhow ).

What are the chances of planning permission not being granted just out of interest

Thanks for update Sidnee.My comment was actually sarcastic cos the local paper features all teh wrangling of the other two stadiums but Fev never get a mention with the progress of the stand.

Fev aren't in Super League. You could erect a stand made entirely out of battenburg and it still wouldn't get a mention.

Get yersen into Super League

From what has come out of the preliminary meetings LWGG, its been received very well by WMDC and they have been very supportive (with advice and direction, not funding!) to the ideas put forward. Looks like the stands will be used just at the railway end and 1 side in an 'L' shape covering the end and joining onto the current family stand. This means the erection (ooh err ) will be well away from other properties so no issues foreseen.

Knew what you were getting at Skipdog, hence the bit on the end


Littlerich, why bother with S/L when the quality and excitement in this league is so good?

Oh, and burger sales will be down if we make it out of battenburg, as well as it looking like a broncos / quins shirt so maybe not a good idea

Did I read somewhere that you're moving the pitch further up towards the Railway End? If so the new 'L' shape would provide cover down most of the Family Stand side but leave the main stand mostly alongside the final 40 at the POR end which itself could be 20 metres from the in-goal area. Is that a correct visualisation?

Just about it, yes. The pitch isn't moving too much, more like being extended. As many know its not quite full length currently so the few extra at 1 end will mean less off the other. The clubhose glass front would obstruct the view from the main stand if it was moved too far anyway. Should look quite tidy once completed

Wakefield- a joke of a SL club who have lied to stay in since day one. I couldnt give a toss about Wakefield or their alleged ground. Been hearing it for years. Its like the boy who cried wolf. The Stadium saga is just so boring and maybe I might be interested when they start doing building work. Wakey fans bang on yes it will be built and Cas fans no it wont-has nothing to do with Fax fan. The Wakey club shouldnt be in SL after being in administration once again. Wakefield offer nothing to SL apart from being a joke. That said I would rather Fax be where we are and playing in finals etc in a modern stadium than being a joke club who will never even get close to winning anything whilst they stay in SL.
