I sent an email to the club last night after I had finally dried out. I explained that I would not use those seats again if there was a possibility of rain on game day, therefore would I be able to use my seated pass to enter the North Stand. I received a respectful reply from MC this morning advising me I can use the seated pass but advised to arrive early due to restricted capacity of 1500. It seemed to me there was no where near 1500 in the North Stand yesterday, and if there was, the it was only one third full. I have no complaints re the new seating, I think they are more than adequate on dry days, and no problem with the view of the pitch. It’s a long time since I’ve watched a game from behind those posts.

Unfortunately I won't be able to do the transfer, can't stand and to uo-grade to Fox bar doesn't give you a seat where you can see pitch

Wouldn't have thought so. Have the poop side located behind the TV camera not in front of it. Its bad enough St Helen posting rubbish pictures of the ground on Twitter without us purposely showing it off to the TV world.

Exactly.
I know its unfortunate for some people, but come on.....
How many home games will we have before the new stand is open?
Maybe 10 or 12????
A bit of discomfort for now for a great looking new stand around this time next year?

Less than that I’d imagine. I suspect that some seating will be available by then. Done right bits of the new stand could be used whilst work on the main facilities are completed. Once the structure is up and the roof on then most H&S issues can be overcome to offer basic accommodation for at least 800.

Might not be in the plan but Leeds basically placed a temp stand within the main stand when they did the north stand.

2 games this year and probably the whole of next season.
Looking at the contract programme the final testing won’t be completed until after the end o 2023 season, I’m no health and safety expert, but I don’t think the public will be allowed in the stand until the safety certificate is issued.
As you can see from the dates given we already seem to be behind schedule.
Below is a paragraph from the Trinity delivery plan.

Contract Programme
Morgan Sindall has prepared the contract programme to meet the requirements and constraints of Wakefield Trinity’s league calendar commitments.
The key constraint is the need to ensure seating provision is maintained through the construction period. To do this temporary seating will be provided for the remainder of the 2022 season and 2023. The enabling works have to commence by 4th July 2022 for the construction work for the project to remain on track for completion by the end of the 2023 season.
The programme also has to meet the requirements of the Sports Ground Safety Authority Green Guide. Practical completion will therefore follow the testing and certification required by the Green Guide on 13th October 2023.
Key milestones are set out below:
Planning decision notice
25/03/22
Submission of Delivery Plan to Wakefield Council 01/06/22
Enabling works commence 04/07/22
Construction commences 23/08/22
Construction completes (Practical Completion) 21/07/23
Commence stadium testing 14/07/23
Complete stadium testing 13/10/23
