Obviously like everyone else i'm delighted by this, it just basically suits everybody.......so therefore, why wasn't this done bloody years ago?!! It can't just be down to money surely? I'm sure Diane Rogerson in the early noughties said it just wasn't feasible to develop BV? Especially the parking situation as has been mentioned. It just seemed the obvious conclusion to suit all parties, but so it did 10, 15, 20, 25 years ago?!! Roll on 2020 when finally this becomes reality..........hopefully.

Headingly is crap for parking and they're re-developing that, so I guess people will just have to keep parking where they do now

Great news, although not entirely convinced all this is going to fit in the space we have. We've seen fancy 3D renders before and got our hopes up, so let's hope this time we see the end result too!

Well yeah very true. I just wonder how many previous chairmen have had serious, if any, discussions with the council about redeveloping BV? It just seems incredible after so many false dawns re. stadiums elsewhere we've now arrived at this?! No-one that I know had even considered this as an option at any point, let's just hope this is a goer, fingers crossed

Also I am no expert on stadium design but I would imagine there must be regs on access and minimum parking . I would love to hear from someone in the know on this, but my got feeling is that this will not work surrounded and landlocked on such a small footprint.
Hence me being the first poster to seriously doubt this is feasible

Where's the cheap bling? it's an artist's impression and as you stated in your previous negative post it probably won't finish up looking like that and as you say, your no expert so why not leave it to them to sort the so called problems out, why not just treat yourself for once and embrace the good news.

Damn you're tetchy. I'm actually glad it worked out. Wakey are a good traditional club who managed to buck the trend the last couple of years and deserve more praise than they get (the so called big boys like Leeds, Wigan etc certain don't like it and no doubt they'll write you off again next season).

As for Rovers, who knows? I'm under no illusions. I would rise to your comment about the wrong side of Hull but I could equally ask if it galls you that Cas are awesome at the moment.

Anyway, good to see Wakey council pulling their finger out at last. I live in West Yorks these days and quite like Wakey as a town.

you'll find its a city not a town

Well done to all concerned, it may have taken sometime but I believe they have reached the correct outcome.

I certainly understand your cautious approach however re land locked stadiums, the new Brentford stadium looks pretty hemmed in. There looks to be a concourse/drive all around the ground also. Time will tell if this gets off the ground but we live in hope.

Within reason there must be minimum/maximum footprint length for a rugby ground to be built, someone would then measure the area we have already and say, basically yes or no, and work from there. Easy innit?
Wonder if they could knock the church down?
