As I, and others (including MC and CB) have previously stated, Balne lane fields are a total non-starter purely from an access and parking point of view. It is just another red herring thrown in by Box to try and make it look as though the council are still trying to fulfil their legal obligations
If you live local enough then go down there yourself and take a look....the only access road is along Balne Lane either from the city side through the single-file railway bridge or the other direction through Flanshaw and Peacock housing estates with the latter being the only place where people could park on match days
Balne Lane is not a non starter in a functional sense, far from it. All obstacles could be overcome with an committed council pushing it, it's no less feasible than BV or NM in that respect.
That however isn't the problem. The rub is that IMHO the council no more has the will to make this work than they did Thornes, NM or BV. You could give them the perfect site for free and it still wouldn't happen. Until there are big changes at WMDC nothing will happen.
