Fair enough.

Absolutely!

Usual blinkered argument from both sides, we all need to wait and see IMO.

Don't get touchy. Just a simple question.

You've taken it the wrong way.

Its like watching Jackanory all over again reading some of this thread

No point in answering "if" questions

You gave a simple response as well. Whooooosh!!

Is that asking Wakefield council to build some sports facilities on the complex or has that rumour been quoshed a while ago.

I don't get this "we've got this we've got that you'll have to share with us " business. I hope we both get stadiums and just concentrate on playing Rugby League and beating each other on the field.

Proposed cas stadium = privately funded development owned by cas and their partners

Proposed Wakefield Stadium = A community complex including stadium and sports science college situated in the middle of the WDMC area providing first class sports facilities for the whole area, run by a community trust funding provided by grants, trust money and sponsership. Trinity have agreed to play there but all clubs in the district RL RU Football can use the complex if they wish with it been a community complex.

Wakefield council will not directly fund any project but will help with planning etc. cas are ahead of us at the momunt as they've had planning permission for the last 2 -3 years and have pictures of the project. The community stadium was only announced a month ago but things are moving fast.

Is all the above as we stand at the moment?

Nearly, Cas will have community facilities in the stadium too though.

Privately funded community facilities? or Wakefield council funded?

Dunno, just know there will be a swimming baths, gym, some classrooms for schools to use and maybe a NHS drop in.

They will be starting work on it then come Monday.

doubt that very much!!!!!

"SHOULD the new stadium go ahead then the finance worries SHOULD melt away." Positive talk from the coach then.

IF the council chip in? i thought that was a doubt at this stage.

So cas are wanting Wakefield council to fund (or build sports facilites) as part of the project? thought the council would only help all 3 clubs with planning etc but non financial
While they're members of Wakefield Council on the board of the new community Stadium along with Sir Rodney Walker and the BUPA bloke I thought there was no council money involved in the cummunity stadium.

Outline planning permission.

How can you have planning permission when you dont even know what you are building you need to wake up and smell the coffee mate.

Castleford will not get Wakefield Council backing if its owned by Cas RL community or not, thats unlikely anyway because if the land were yours and the funding in place believe me your stadium would be well on its way after the announcement 12 months ago.

Funny how things have sprung into life when Wakefield announced plans for a Community Trust run Stadium

See what happens over the coming months but diggerland is about as near as you are at the moment regardless of the spin from RW

Oh look ANOTHER Wakey fan that knows more about the stadium then the Cas fans, board and Waystone



I know many things about the stadium - and it's all starting to tie in, a bit quicker then I was expecting too. there is still a chance of rugby been played out of a brand new 15,000 stadium by 2011.

So just to clarify after 8 pages

Neither club has a final design?

Neither club has full planning permission ?

Neither club has all the funding in place?


Which supporter has the biggest dad?

Wrong

Cas have all the funding ready, now they're looking to (or already have) appoint an architect then the council will push through the planning application (which I believe they said they would do for Wakey & Fev too?)

Ok thanks for that but it would seem money in place for the stadium and the actual cost dont equate but i'll take your word on it

Gahan - I know one club who have today signed a lease for a ground for the next twenty years...

I tip my hat to you mate

Well done to all my old friends down there

You been practising for a re match?

Of course you do!
