Wakefield Trinity were hoping to move into the stadium for the start of the 2015 season but work has not started on the project due to the conditions for development, implemented by the Secretary of State following a public inquiry, not being met. The conditions required that 60,000 square metres of warehousing had to built out and occupied, while the Trust responsible for the management of the stadium also had to provide funding towards the build cost[2][3]

The development has since stalled further which has led to Wakefield Trinity working with Wakefield Council to find a resolution, including the redevelopment of their current home at Belle Vue.
