The length of new Stand is 96.5 metres, as you say almost try line to try line

Or over-running the Cas pitch by 10 metres each end, if it helps to think of it that way...

It's quite tricky to see unless you get to that side. The stand is level with the try line, give or take a foot. It's 3-4 yards from the end of the in goal area. For a number of reasons they want to keep that little curved bit in the corner (makes sense when you're there, all to do with levels).



At the South end, there is one more section to go in but thats a fairly straight forward bit with nothing behind it other than a concourse.

Yes I wondered about the far end(Donny Road). The seats will end short of the bottom of the stand on the very end section. Seemed a strange design

It's awkward because it's not level to the new stand, but it makes sense when you see it in the flesh as it were. Thats why those steps are still there I'd guess.Truth is the cost of rectifying it would have been a hefty amount and better spent elsewhere.

You can see the difference at North end and South End of the stand by looking at the Planning drawings FOR REF: PROPOSED EAST STAND - NORTH AND SOUTH ELEVATIONS - P1, the north end is clearly showing higher due to the curved concours. https://planning.wakefield.gov.uk/onlin ... ab=summary

In an ideal world we would have replaced the North stand but we couldn't stretch that far. The way I view the North stand is that it's been repaired and is fit for purpose but isn't a permanent solution. It is however now last on the list, and can be revisited at some point in the future if all goes well. It's probably got another 20 years to go before that happens but who knows.

North stand has had a lick of paint ,it’s still a shambles ,it should next on list not last!!

Has the northstand works started yet? I’m

Expecting it will look a lot tidier with clean crisp steps, new barriers, backing and some paint.

We could do with a globe trotting entrepreneur with multiple business connections to take an interest in the club, I had one in mind but I rather think his loyalties lie elsewhere in the game

Must be expensive paint as it's costing half a million, but then you knew that didn't you

Why would someone say that the North Stand is getting 'a lick of paint ' when it is obviously far more substantial than that ?
