Although I’m a commit six member and already paid 8 months of next season ticket,I did mention something similar to a club employee regarding not having a covered stand although paying for that facility. Politely I was advised that I was actually paying for a seat which is still being provided in front of the hospitality boxes. I’m not about to take my bat home, I just hope it’s not raining on home match days. Also, I think the club are hoping enough of the stand with some roof will be available sometime during next season for the East Standers to sit in. All depends how quickly the building work progresses.

Thanks Dunkirk Spirit will still buy E Stand tickets all been well Got one this year but did not use it .just stood up at games ,or if lucky was in hospitality a few times .S T is in buget ,same as squad builder .

I am sure that ground tickets and stand tickets are the same price, they certainly are on match day basis. I was also told if you had a stand season ticket you could also use it in any part of the ground. Thats my two penneth in support of the club.

However like all reasonable debate you need balance. A basic concession at Saints and Huddersfield both cost me £16 a basic standing /seated concession at Wakefield costs £20. I think standard adult have similar price differential. I know loyal regulars allow the club slack regarding this, but away supporters and the more casual ones may not. Considering our present facilities we may be pushing our luck a little.

Vasty, if you still have your list of questions for JM at your tea and chat, I noticed the roof overhang of the stand has been reduced at both ends of the stand. The concourse North end of the new stand was to have the Family/Fan Zone which would have been protected by the roof overhang. Question “is the Family/Fan Zone still going ahead”.

Are the old loos being refurbished or am I keeping my flip flops in the wardrobe?

Ta. 6th July 2022 GA Roof Plan P5 with Revision Cloud. This drawing shows the roof overhang is removed. 6th July 2022 GA Roof Plan P5 shows the amount 7.425metre overhang removed. The fan Zone area is showing on the initial planning application, I can look up that if need be. It does show the area is at the North end concourse behind the new stand. https://planning.wakefield.gov.uk/onlin ... ab=summary

That’s over 24 feet of roof and is a significant amount of change, why?

The overhang that’s been removed (each end of the building, not the centre part over hospitality) has no part of the building below it. Just fresh air, it seems to be part of the value engineering.

comparisons between the two roof drawings shows a bit of discrepancy, the “plan P5 with revision cloud” with the red dotted lines shows a reduced overhang of 5.8 metres.
Best if you click onto the link and see the roof plans. It will make more sense if you can see them.
