Could work, but the initial pictures, do look a bit small, but would only do so for north and west stands. I think we need to look at something a little better for east stand, and maybe south, thinking of hospitality.

Regarding fund raising, I know a little late now, but something built into season tickets etc, to raise a little extra, but then have the costs spread. I know they are now, but aren't they just spread over 3 months

I'm not sure why people think that's small, it's actually too big for the west terrace all be it by only a foot or so, I do think people have a bit of an over-inflated idea as to the size of BV and the kind of stands we require tbh.

The Maidstone stadium is fine if you use all four sides to get the capacity up and you want to build to our present average attendances (bearing in mind many supporters both Wakefield and away fans do not use BV because of its present state) but maybe we need to be ambitous and have a capacity to aim towards, being able to compete for representaive games. Belle Vue can accommodate a Stadium for about 12K and as the club now own the car park area the East Stand can be developed outwardly. Obviously finance will be the key to how big how shiny and I'm pretty sure the club could actually be working on this project already and may well have some plans in place

They do, supposedly there is news due out in the next week or two if the timescales given after the London match are still revelant.

The east stand should be the all singing/dancing structure where there is the room to construct it. The remaining three can be something like what has been posted for me. It's not what was promised, we are way past that now, however given where we are it will feel like Wembley to the regulars and not too shabby for newcomers.

That's how I see it, we have to be realistic.

There’s actually quite a lot of depth and space on the South end, if we wanted and could afford 2 major stands we have the room on the East and South

Realistic? I'll be totally elated if we get something as described!

Me too, I’d be more than happy. I actually believe that 3 sides standing is actually what both home and away fans want.

I'm trying to think of the username of the guy who often put pictures of stands on here? Do you know him Fishermanscap?
