Me too. Can't we just start building?

Thank you. I feel tha same naturally, though I would still like to see the day when there is an element of earning it on the pitch re-introduced to the equation. I feel Halifax and Featherstone to name but 2 deserve their chance; all clubs do if they get their club set up and business right

Thank you. One hears negative comments from afar sometimes so it's nice to hear support for the cause. To be honest, I want all RL clubs to prosper...even Castleford. Our sport has always had to stand against prejudice and a condescending attitude, to be heard in the country as a whole and we really ought to show this kind of mutual support always. Come franchise time I hate the in fighting/ slanging that occurs. Decided on the pitch....ultimately there is no other way for me, provided your facilities are up to it

Some people just like to be the big I AM. No doubt she will still be looking for an option to make thousands of Wakefield fans miserable and deny thousands of others a job. Seems her number is up. Hope it was worth it.

I would like to ask how we have a planning system that enables such spurious objections to so egregiously delay decent and well thought out plans. It seems any individual or institution that wants to delay something for their own ends, can find easy ways to do it

Just read on the Cas board (other site) this is going to dramatically increase the cases of childhood athsma in the Wakefield area! Apparantly our youngsters will never be able to play as they will all be on 3 or 4 seperate inhalers! To make it worse, he isn't even joking - I have never seen a forum with as many cranks on it as that one.

Quote ="Wildcat-Rich"And then comes a statement from RW www.code13rugbyleague.com/2012/0 ... m=facebook'" Well, to be honest, I hope Cas get their wish too. Much as some of their fans p me off and Mr Wright has been an a hole sometimes, I would like our big derby to remain and a deep heartland club to retain its rightful place. I'f rather go to Cas than another ruddy waste of space like Crusaders or London pack it in Broncos

Yes, this is very, very true. Has so much so good ever happened in decades to this club? Of course not

Saddos

well done... now get building! lol

intresting commuinty stadium my

Thanks for your kind word Mickey.
Really glad you are pleased for us!

lol i see on your shirt werido

Really pleased with the news and don't want to put a damper on things, but I won't be getting too carried away until the diggers are in!!

All we have is paper at the moment. We now need the units to sell for the stadium to be built but I'm guessing some deals may have already been done????

It would be very surprising if YCP haven't been beavering away in the background doing just that.

I think that the detail of the SoS's decision is actually very positive for us; it requires the developer and the Council to sign off a binding s106 agreement with respect to delivery of the stadium, so that will give a clear indication of timescales and such.

You're right to be cautious, but we've certainly cleared a massive hurdle.

Talking to a guy who reckoned it would cost circa £20 million to build a 12000 seater to a decent standard. Which begs the question in these financially straitened times.....who exactly is going to cough up that money?

The developers [url=http://companycheck.co.uk/company/02056198Yorkcourt[/url don't appear to be exactly rolling in it, and are already late in posting figures for 2012..... A private finance company maybe, who can see an opportunity? .....will Glover be sticking his hand in his pocket?

Obtaining Full Planning Permission might have been the easy part of the equation. Obtaining a suitable financial package could be a tad more challenging.

I think if you dont want the mickey taking out of you mickey, you probably ought to save your rantings for your own forum?




It is a community stadium, and as part of the community you are welcome to use it, if not that is fine.
Hope that helps.

Its ok, mickey isnt contributing anything to this forum so he can enjoy a little break.

Spot on Bren!

Despite certain posters claiming otherwise, this is exactly what everyone wanted and we welcome the SoS asking for the S106 and other issues relating to the stadium/community sports facilities to be resolved and sorted once & for all, prior to final permission being given.

Equally, we have no doubts about Yorkcourt & WMDC sorting all this out by the deadline and fulfilling the SoS requests.

Well firstly, the figure for this one is £19m, so I am sure even you will not argue over a £1m.

As for who is going to cough up the cash, well the same people that were always going to be paying... but possibly maybe some companies that have remained in the background a little until now.

I wouldn't worry about Yorkcourt accounts too much, because they are reasonably irrelevant. They, like most developers, won't be spending their own money but will be spending it on behalf of other investors and those investors will be getting a favourable return and Yorkcourt (& others!) will take their profit cut as well.

That all said, a large slice of the money was never coming from the developer but from other sources, such as Sport England and of course now Wakefield College.

There is indeed still plenty of work to do to access identified funding, no doubt, but in September I think exactly what the developers contribution is going to be and how that is condition will be know and equally, we might find that new names & companies pop -up & join the party as partners!

Circa (from Latin, meaning "around"icon_wink.gif......

So, how much is Sport England putting up then, and is there any chance that Garry H could get some funding for our Southstand revamp, which has all gone very quiet?

Assuming everything falls into place, would you be expecting a build time of around a year for most of the project?

Elston on yesterday's news: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=526267&tsmp=1340366631 He expects it will be up to 12 months before the build can realistically take place with a 56 week build, which fits in with their 2015 target date.

Could Clipper logistics be interested in a unit or 2??

No - Sport England have specifically stated that, like everyone else, they [ihate[/i the Whinos, especially that moaning get Kevin Sinfield, so they won't be contributing anything to improvements at the cricket car park.

The build time is quoted as around 1 year, with the stadium expected to be ready for the start of the 2015 season.

I hear that GH has been at BV a lot recently, harassing Mr Glover about a groundshare...
