belle vue

[The Firm]

Interesting development on the Wakey site. Does it sound like their Stadium trust has got the buyer of Belle Vue & Superbowl onside?.

Could be why there is talk of taking the Yorkcourt/WMDC to court?. The club/trust now has a bit of financial muscle to use as leverage to get some concessions?

Not fully up to speed with the goings over in Agbrigg, but what is it exactly the Council has supposedly done which could see them end up in court?

Other people on here like alcasfan & The Firm would probably know more than me on the subject. I think its because the Council granted planning of that Newcold building (the big white unit by j30) outside the agreement where a certain ammount of land is developed which would trigger the building of Wakefields ground (and some smaller community buildings,3G pitches etc).

Wakey fans seem to think the council (led by Peter Box..Cas fan) is in league with the developer so to prevent the new stadium from ever getting built. Apologies if i have got it wrong

Pretty much the long and short of it. A point of note though is that even if the newcold buildibg had counted towards the trigger point then they would still be way off reaching the building target. So i don't see how they would have a leg to stand on in court.

Spot on! Now what would have happened if the Wakey Fans/Trust/Club/ folks "in the know" etc had not been asleep at the wheel

Tue Jul 09, 2013 6:49 pm In the words of the planning statement "the application is a stand alone and is in no way legally tied to the extant outline consent for the site"

I don,t suppose there will be many objections either from the local groups regarding the scale of the building 42 m high that is about 11 or 12 storey

I posted this 3 days after the Newcold application was validated, you would have thought that someone on their side would have looked in detail at the application,and asked some seroius questions, but no!, nothing! Zilch!,. They have only themselves to blame over all of this "We have been done over" Bull Crap!

Not a word/objection from anyone connected with the Club/Trust to the planners at the time of the application. (I did point ths out at the time to some on their side)

If the Newcold fridge counted towards reaching the trigger point for the stadium they would be about a third of the way there.
Another point to note is there is no mechanism in place to stop Yorkcourt from falling slightly short of the trigger point - something that I'm quite sure they will do to avoid building a stadium.
As AL mentions above - they were warned but didn't want to take advice, simply because that advice came from this side of the common.

not only did they not want to take advice they gave alcasfan the dogs abuse for suggesting it.

Poster TRB on their rlfans forum who I believe is part of the stadium trust and been involved with getting a stadium for Wakey for years so is probably the only one other than MC that posts on there who really knows what's happening has suggested that the new buyer of BV could be a game changer.

Now whether that means they are onside with the rugby club to help them get a new/redeveloped stadium or it means the sale has now forced things to come to a head with WMDC and the developer who knows? But they are wanting to sell season tickets in September so if I was a Wakey fan I'd want to know where my club was playing before shelling out and what the long/short term plans are?

Mick Carter has put a deadline of the end of August to announce what they are doing/where they are playing as regards season ticket sales.

As expected - Mick Carter looking at staying at Belle Vue (if the price is right) here :-
