Same here for me Jinge regarding the proposed new Tigers stadium. Not too fussed if it happens or not although I do understand why we need to move. I'm quite happy where we are but we would have to upgrade Wheldon Road and that would cost a fortune.

I think the days of having to forcibly upgrade have thankfully gone, our clubs can now hopefully refurb our old grounds without fear of reprisals.
As for your stadium I obviously haven't a clue but everyone involved must keep on their toes and keep in mind how we've been utterly shafted!

Anyway Avenger - whats your take on NM ? - happening or not ? Would you rather prefer to stay at a redeveloped BV ?

Have you ever played the game yourself tig? the reason I ask is because you have a great sidestep

As we are talking about stadiums. Reading the Wakey forum thread re Nm /Newcold/YCP and as there seems to be a few Wakey fans on here, a genuine question for Chissit, Jinge etc.

Given the uproar surounding the Newcold development being outside the 106 agreement, and every Wakey fan and his dog screaming blue murder now the deed is done. Why did no one from Swag, The Community Trust, Sir Rod, TRB, IA etc pick up on this at day one of the application and let the fans, local residents (NGB4C), petition signatories etc know what was happening? Most fans seemed to only get the drift after the application was approved.

Not wishing to start an argument (had enough of those over the last 4plus years), but it was there from the start!

“This detailed application is a standalone application and in no way ties it legally to the extant outline consent”

I can't argue that point as I'm not in the know that much, if it's always been the case it seems odd that not one of the above mentioned had any inkling whatsoever that this build was outside the 106 agreement.
Any link to this part of the document?

The info was there from day one of the application docs going online. That particular quote is from the Design and Access Statement.

SWAG, The Community Trust, Sir Rodney, TRB, IA.

I cannot see all of the above collectively missing that small but major detail.

And add to that the anti brigade you would have thought they'd have had a field day with it.

Alfie I know nothing about the 106 agreement or the other 105 before it either that's why I don't comment on it and that's being honest unlike a few on our board who also know nothing about it but like to give the impression that they do and just throw bricks under the feet of TRB and the team what are trying to make a difference. Personally I'm not a fan of NM never was I much prefer BV but was happy to see us get a new stadium before you because of the criteria placed on clubs regarding new stadia which would have put us in front of you which you will appreciate was critical to both clubs', now it's no longer a race between us I am quite happy for you to get a new stadium as and when and good luck with it'
The good thing about that Newcold abomination is You cannot see it from anywhere in the Barnsley area and as I won't be applying for a job there it won't bother me personally, that said they built a new school a hundred yards from my home and twice a day I get my drive blocked by inconsiderate mums what have a right to park over my drive and nobody shows me any sympathy either, if anybody tells you it's a perfect world alfie don't believe em mate oh nearly forgot I thought tiggerade extracated himself perfectly after avenger tied him up in knots
