All one can hope is the apparent support we seem to be getting is dependent upon any objections and judicial review threats against this development from a Trinity point of view are retracted. We've fallen for that once.

Absolutely right, the trust and fans/citizens should be objecting to any planning application for Newmarket development, until they provide funding for the community Stadium. Remember the promise of artificial pitches training ground, community sports facilities etc. Recently, the speculation on this forum is the Council will provide funding as a loan which the trustees will pay the interest. The concern for me is, the loan will not be sufficient to do a complete new build or full redevelopment of. Belle Vue. If such funding was offered, then where would the rest of funding come from, a Piecemeal build would surely end in tears.
We all need to keep pressure on the Council planning process and the Newmarket site developers.

Think it’s got to the stage that we’ve got to get what we can and make the best out of it.

That's exactly what they want - get desperate and take anything. It's alright having a 'modernized' Belle Vue but then having to go to Fev to train because we still haven't got our own facilities. We get less, Yorkcourt get more (land/money) - if we have to settle for a revamped Belle Vue I can live with that but I wouldn't have them wriggle out of the rest aswell.

Unfortunately personal morals or views about the applicant are not valid reasons to object to a planning application. As distasteful as the applicant might be.

We were disappointed when they finally knocked it down as it was the best seat in the ground (imagine the view from the roof of the Northstand now), but it was a bit lairy in high winds and it wasn't un-common for one of the numbers to occasionally fly off...they could easily have killed someone

John Kear used to do the same job at the old Cas scoreboard. Theres not a lot of people know that.

Exactly this - seems like YC have played the long game, and it appears to have worked, with many people happy to take whatever scraps they deign to lob at us from their table.
