Hi guys, Balne lane playing fields. You may know already but here goes, Yorkshire water have been active testing
The drainage system to the fields as per requested to them, is site investigation !
There are two fields, land locked, each playing field took up space leaving no room for stands ! Let alone access for
Fire engines etc. The beck has flooded various times over the years.
Is the club being offered a poor piece of land & inferior size, the council have a policy of little or no parking as per
Buses in people to the New Market site.
Any thoughts guys ???
I have also noted York Court are advertising selling of land at New Market, what's your thoughts ?
Is this a way around 106 agreement ??
By the way i favour Belle Vue if we can get that option.

Selling Newmarket land...is it even theirs to sell??

The former is just your opinion, the latter is old news.

The 3rd item is my opinion the others two items are facts, historic & recognized as league weekly reports problems with access.

I’d love it if we stayed at Belle Vue

"aware" is off topic really, an inaccurate title,........... would be closer.... :WHISTLE

Edited........ Don't do that. Consider this your warning.
I've given you enough chances........ Poptart

Rather move to Balne Lane, better area more central easier access.

Up the Trin

Opinions, we all have them.

What access is there at Balne Lane, ESPECIALLY where the propsed site is ??
AND however much you think it's a good idea, there isnt room for a 10/12000 capacity ground there.
There could possibly be a community facility there but no way in this world can there be a RL ground

Access by what Train Bus walking can’t get better than a near City Centre location. At Belle Vue I park on Barnsley Road and walk 10 15 minutes to the ground about same as town to Balne Lane.

Don't agree. Parking is not an issue as the ground is literally a five minute walk from the masses of parking available in the town centre. Ditto buses and is frankly next door to the train station. In a way it meets all the criteria of a modern eco friendly.

It could be done and would work IMO however it would involve some purchases maybe compulsery purchases to create access. This is where it falls down for me because I don't believe for a second that WMDC has the will or the bottle to do that. Martins Auto-centre looks an obvious access point and relatively easy to purchase but as I say takes the will.

Reading this thread, I suppose it's proof that Box's inclusion of Balne Lane into the public eye has served it's purpose.
