I think there's arsenic or something similar in the substructure of the pitch, won't br such a worry if the stadium is being developed over the top of the existing pitch

It's the north stand. From what I recall the terracing is laid on waste material that contains numerous heavy metals. I know it's an issue but I don't know how serious it is. I would imagine most old stadiums were built on similar and have been successfully redeveloped

As long as it's under hard standing it doesn't matter. Contam isn't a showstopper (as long as it's not radioactive!).

So one of the blocks will be a hotel. Shame about the badge! Bit of car parking too.

Where's that image from khlav. If there's going to be an Hotel, It would be certainly nice if it came with some amentaties like a bar for example.

Listen, a lot more people than us know the ins and outs of this. It wouldn't have been put forward unless everything was almost %100. The fact that the council has eventually realised the importance of Wakefield Trinity is a major factor. Thanks to the pressure forced upon Box and Co this will happen; maybe not as the architects drawings suggest..... but this is our time ! the sleeping giant is awake ! The future is very bright.

P.s The Cas fans are bricking it !!!!!!!

A hotel would be good for away fans

There is also this pic, which seems very un-Carter-like if he smelt a rat. I don't think those teeth are gritted.

It's like none of them have actually seen a smile before, but had only read about them in textbooks
