=#8000FFAs I just said in a previous post, that is a myth and Cas do have the money and the no money myth is just something Wakey fans are clinging onto with everything they have.

Where's Cas's funding coming from?

So who has told you we have no funding? Have you heard that directly or is that hearsay on here?

It is pretty obvious to me that neither has the full amount of money or the council wouldn't be contemplating a groundshare, simples.

If Wakefield had identified all of the money and over it AND SECURED it, then the council could take back the original piece of land offered and give it to Cas.

Anyway, it's pretty fruitless us going over old ground. It serves no purpose and ultimatey, it won't be us making the decision.

not looking good this for either of us frankly.

I dont like the bit about identified grants we can bid for etc, since this new govt they have more or less disappeared, especially capital grants, see BSF etc.

To be honest I can see a feasability study saying neither is buildable and / or sustainable, thought that for a while but decided against posting it as i would get lynched.

But you've just said you don't need it

Thats about the size of it, IMO they have no right to go back on the agreement unless they are willing to refund any costs incurred by all parties.

Could well be we've been walked down the garden path and thrown in a puddle




Its not over till the large lady sings.

Didn't want to get to involved in this just yet but that is a reckless and biased post. Talk about I'm alright Jack.

Better road links? Both identical, both are slip roads of the M62, what are you talking about
Better rail links? How many Wakey or Cas fans need a rail link, it is after all a stadium for Wakefield rate payers.
Better commercial area? What has this got to do with anything?
Furthest along in development? In your dreams.
Least objectors? Glasshoughton, agreed but the objections to Newmarket are pretty limited.

As for hassle for the Council, both are privately funded other than the land for security issue so where is the hassle greater on one than the other?

You're grasping at straws, again.

Truth is, both are feasible if Box plays it fair - big chance of that happening.

Good post I was about to say the same myself. I think Newmarket certainly beats Glasshoughton for traffic as the ESCAPE and Freeport will be there can you imagine the traffic 6000+ rugby fans watching a match and freeport shoppers and Escape what many familys go for a day out. Newmarket would win hands down on that front.

=#8000FFHow many roads go INTO Newmarket?



=#8000FFAway fans, or are they not allowed to come to games anymore?

not to mention a lot of home fans go to games by train.



=#8040FFSPONSORS, if you haven't noticed, now a days in RL, teams have writing and logos on the kits, advertising company's in return for money, having a stadium next to the 2nd most visited visitor attraction in the UK will enhance potential sponsorship deals.



=#8000FFObjectors, Newmarket possibly getting called in for Government review etc, none of this would happen at Glasshoughton



=#8000FFSounds a hell of a lot like you're clutching at straws, but I expect nothing else from you.

Both MIGHT be feasible, but only if Leeds council don't get their way with the kicking & screaming about Newmarket.




=#8000FF5 roads into the area, 3 of which have 2 lanes so 9 lanes for traffic, that is a lot of road for people to get in, what is ESCAPE? and Freeport for that matter?

There have already been the road studies, with the new road being put in diverting traffic there will be far less traffic jams then you are trying to make out, but as I remember one of the main complaints about Newmarket is...traffic.

if cas have the money why havent they started building yet and why have they come out this morning(seen on sky sports news)that they back the plan to ground share surley since they already have planning permission and has you say they have the money why would they need to back the ground share

Have you seen the plans for Newmarket ???? I don't think so you have obviously not seen the link roads to the ground and also a free park and ride bus service its perfect.

I dont know if they bought out wakefield but i certainly remember the £1.00 ground selling exercise, but that wont be relevant here as it does'nt suit the slant of this thread plus i dont think the wildcats like to talk about it.

1) Newmarket has 1 road in - Glasshoughton has 2 roads each from seperate Motorway junctions 32 and 31

2) Glasshougton has a Railway Station on the door step 5 min walk away (Lots of away supporters travel by rail) - Newmarket has no rail link

So how are both identical?



1) Glasshoughton has outline planning permission and will get full permission

2) Newmarket will be lucky to get any permission and if it does it will be too late for WTW but Yorkcourt will be happy.



I think it's you grasping at straws!

How many rail destinations travel to glasshoughton don't make me laugh !

For gods sake man what planet are you living on, the only reason the stadium at Glasshoughton isnt up already is because theres no money, do you think if Cas had the money they would be talking about a shared stadium

Its called a railway - you know how they work (or do you?) - You get atrain from huddersfield (for example) to leeds then another train to Glasshoughton. See its easy!

The A1? It's hardly a massive distance mind.



Possibly those without a car? I'm sure in these tough economic climes plenty have got rid of them.



The sustainability of the clubs as businesses there? The commercial value of the clubs and the attraction of the area to families.



Well, the facts are that one has outline planning permission, the other doesn't. One has architectural drawings being unveiled in three weeks, the other doesn't.



Apart from Leeds CC, local action groups and environmental health, I suppose so.

Got me there, Im sure loads of rugby league fans would just love to visit Newmarket and take a tour round the empty industrial units (if they get built) rather than a look round escape and a few bevvies before the game then out to Nandos or any of the other eateries after the game followed by a bit of shopping to pacify her , then a leisurely train journey home.

You cant beat empty industrial units for a family day out nosirreee

As an outsider, what do you think of the human race ?

The Pro's and Con's are irrelevant. One stadium is fundable as it stands and one isn't. If both had the necessary funding then this proposal wouldn't have even thought up.

I think this is what Box has planned. Chaos, with rival supporters having a willy waving contest with regards to who has the better site. It detracts from the shameful way WMDC has handled itself recently. How on earth can they say one thing less than 12 months ago then, after a lot of money has been spent by both parties, change the goalposts completely.

My gut feeling is that neither will get the support/approval needed to build a stadium and we will both end up in NL1 - if we are lucky. At least we might have another derby vs Fev to look forward to and we ain't too far from Batley & Dewsbury.

Meanwhile, in comes another French team (Tolouse?) to the SL. Perfect for the RFL!!

Both clubs and fev need to keep their own identities and keep the sport alive in the area , whilst red hall do their best to kill the game as it stands . Maybe its time for a breakaway league..... it worked last time
