Well Done to the Wildcats, this is fantastic news for you and all of Rugby League.

As a supporter of nearly 50 years I would like to add my congratulations to everyone who has worked so tirelessly in order to make yesterday's planning decision possible. As a great man once said - 'this is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end. but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.' Onwards and upwards.

Well done Phil. Your face was a picture on Look North.

IF or when you see thie picture its a Thats Life special and needs no caption

TRB I'd like to place on record my thanks to you, swag and everyone else who worked so hard for this decision. I had major doubts about the application but you stood strong and firm and remained confident and pulled it off (with ease, I hear every councillor supported the application). I don't always agree with the way you stick up for the club and try to put a positive spin on everything but without you I believe this application would have been much harder, I have maximum respect for you and your efforts. This decision has in my opinion saved the club (for now at least - just hope it doesn't get called in but that seems highly unlikely from the murmurings I've heard). Heard there's still one more signing to be announced (any clues as to who it is??) things do look a whole lot rosier and I'm bow actually quite looking forward to our last season at belle vue even with what I would class as mediocre signings. It's all starting to get very real now (I know you have lots more hard work to do in the coming few weeks) but the playing side of things seems a little insignificant at the moment which is surreal as that's what w pay our money for - entertainment on the pitch.

On another note what was the reaction of the players and coaching staff after the decision? Did they look as happy as the fans?

well said m8 its got to be the best news we've all had in a long time lets hope its deff onwards and upwards for the cats and about time too.....!!!!

Good luck to ya,but how you will be debt free in a new stadium when u have ended up like this in your current 1 is hard to get your head round.Also its just outline planning isnt it whats the difference and do u now have funds as you are now just over 12 months till 2012 kicks of even if u start to build now would it be finished in time for 2012 season? I i will say this ill take my hat of to ya if you get it done very best of luck because the clubs that build staduims and keep the promise should get in superleague first

Coming from a side funded by a edited TRB I find that rich.
Go and have a word!!

Over the next couple of months its not just good news u want u want its to see bricks been layed,Good luck,I say celtic make way for widnes now you are building your ground.

"Funded" in the past tense, and I think you'll find it would be more likely be libel, if it weren't true perry mason!
Start sweating anyway because we may now have made the rfls offer to you a bit more difficult now.
