Wakefield City, if it were to be re developed and bought back and re vamped over time, say one side over each close season, would it be a bad thing. 4 sides, four winters, and fully operational 2023.

How long have we been waiting for Newmarket exactly?

I have also said it before, and will again, the only way I can see a new stadium built this side of Heath Common, could depend on Ossett United and their progress. I passed their ground today prior to match day, and if they continue to develop, can their current ground sustain the crowds that are growing. They applied for some upgrade only this week that that got knocked back.

If we cant provide stadia for Wakefeld, Cas and Ossett, than maybe two have to share

Surly to God we haven't waited bloody years for a bit part refurb, a lick of paint and a new seats isn't good enough for me, beggars or not

4 new stands with appropriate facilities over a sensible time scale , fully meeting Superleague criteria will do for me.

Anything that keeps us in SL is gonna have to be good enough, however that is achieved. More seats, safe terracing, better toilets & access, whatever is required to tick those important boxes & lets be honest it might look like a dogs dinner but if it’s compliant that’s enough! However nothing has been announced yet & if & when it does let’s hope there’s no strings attached.

Someone on the Cas forum said that they (Wakey) have been fighting for this for a few years now whilst we have sat back & waited for it to be delivered. Let’s hope the SWAG boys get something that rewards their unstinting efforts these last few years!

Why not wait and see before going off on one

It's all rumours anyway but if the figure of 15 million or even half that is correct you'd be looking at a lot more than a bit part re-furb wouldn't you!

Me neither but I do know that even half of 15 million lets say 7 million would tidy BV up quiet nicely - certainly enough to shut up the critics.

Apparently the new peninsula stadium, granted its only 5k capacity was rumoured to have cost about £5 million. Nice little ground google it

Just a thought? Maybe 8000 seater sports bar etc ... with a possible extension to 12000 a tad later

The modular stadium builds are apparently relatively easy to extend, although I would prefer the stadium to have at least a 10k capacity from the off. With a better facilities and hopefully (If we keep building the way we have been) some on field success I would seriously hope that are average gate increases in which case 8k for Super League games especially against the likes of Leeds and Cas etc would be easily sold out.
