The daft thing is, the industrial units would still get built without the stadium if Trinity were forced to share at Glasshoughton. With or without the stadium the development still brings job's to the area and with the government expecting the private sector to soak the job losses from the public sector then this scheme is ideal.

Really

These grants have been applied for by Wakefield Community Trust that has rock all to do with GH, thats private always has been through Waystone and the sale of your ground with other partners, everything was hunkydory for you until you could not sell your ground due to the blast zone issues (3 million quid I believe to buy out the license). During the boom it was two fingers up to community facilities, then BUST, no money to fund the project outline planning permission yes. No council input yes. About turn council support needed GH would be a community facility (sort of)

TP chucked out due to cost, newmarket zero cost to LA other than feasibility underwritin of 150K this has been done. Planning applied for and delayed. Grants applied for and dependent upon planning (not public money)

LA as a sweetener decide to covenent land to both clubs but my suspicions are that the value will not meet the cost of GH shortfall. Solution coventent to be invested into one stadium.

Politics. Two clubs will need agreement. If LA withdraw support for NM and it goes alone and then funds up to 4m for GH then serious guestions will be asked. If the value of each covenent is 2 million who is to say that Wakefield need 2 million other than to borrow money, BV has been sold I believe so the sale must be less that the investment needed to support the new stadium.

Could be time for the CT to open up a fighting fund or debentures.

It would take 2000 debentures of £1,000 to secure the 2 million. No need then for any support but then a call to arms to force the planning issues.

Plan B sell BV and invest in Dewsbury a RL town crying out for better success. Not to merge but support may increase for SL from the Town.

Just my thoughts on the matter

Fair enough ! - Just couldn't help myself with him/her

Ok that could be the choice you/ I may have to make but I think it would be a case of cutting your/my nose off to spite your/my face.
By the way, please show me where I have had a "rant" on here.

As I see it we have little choice but to stick with Newmarket. Newmarket is deliverable with full support from the Council and in my opinion could receive planning consent in a matter of months with Council support. I do not think there will be a public inquiry if the Council is fully behind the scheme but there lies the problem. I believe the Council are delaying matters so as to force us to Glasshoughton.

Glasshoughton needs funding from Newmarket and I believe the only way Glasshoughton can happen is if it becomes the Wakefield District Community Stadium.

I'd tell the Council to "shove it" and we wish to continue with Newmarket. If that means that both us and Castleford fail to get a franchise then so be it. Or the Council could support Newmarket like they promised and we would see a Stadium equidistant from both Wakefield and Castleford that could be the Wakefield & District Community Stadium.

Newmarket or nothing for me and if its nothing so be it.

Lets hope that Mr Box has some kind of hedgehog craping affliction. I would rather serve a life sentance than watch a team play at GH with Box grinning from ear to ear in his executive box in the cllr box stand. Corruption is rife!

Spot on mate

Agreed, go out fighting rather than a whimper to be swallowed ub by box's CMDC!

thats a very dangerous statement

As a Fev fan all i can say is, hahahahahahahahah!!!!!

Its my choice, simple as. It won't change at all. I shall support the team at away games only.

<Grow up!> is a rant. A rather junivile one. IMO of course.

As you are a Fev fan all I can retort with is - hahahahahahahahaha.

Give it a couple of seasons mate and you'll be getting a hammering by the mighty Rovers once more!!!

They hammered us a fortnight ago, we bounced back though. Thanks for your concern though.

Don't blame Box, don't blame Cas or Wakey. The blame lies with Super League itself, its the biggest joke in british sport if you can still call it a sport (that died when promotion and relegation ended). Life outside Super League is much more the sport now. Unless a stadium is unsafe then why should it matter. Everyone has got caught up in the wrong issues, brainwashed by the Super League promise. Neither of your clubs can truely compete at the top level as it stands. Super League will eventually implode, too many weak clubs that shouldn't be kept in for the sake of it. Decisions in sport should be decided on the field. We are Fev look forward to seeing you soon, i enjoy the championship. Its still a sport down here.

Just what is he doing at the moment but that, it appears he doesn't give two hoots about SWAG or anything , but what suits him !

Who says a shared stadium will guarantee both clubs Super League status when some other clubs have their own stadium up to standards!!?

It doesn't, it helps strengthen a case. thats all.

Fully understand your concerns with sharing a stadium but without a new stadium i'm affraid you'll be booted out of Superleague?

My concern for you both is once your sharing a stadium will the next step be to merge? and i know what you'll say to that?

He will say he doesn't give a toss as hes a Fev fan!

He's a Fev fan asking the question.

Yes thats the way it will go.

Ha ha yeah, its not concern of mine. I'm going to the match tomorrow though as neutral watching our two nearest and dearest, Should be a good match. You've really been brainwashed by the super league dream though. The championship is a good league and standard (helps when your top aswell)!! You won't remember the feeling of being top of the league though, most of your current fans weren't around pre 1999!!!

The only thing that surprises me is that anybody would be surprised by whats happened. These groundshare discussions have been going on for months, in fact I was asked by someone on here to keep quiet about what I knew because it was so sensitive. Box has had this agenda all along and was just waiting to get voted back in in may before he unleashed his plan. Ignore his claims that its due to spending cuts, the decision had been made long before the government changed. SWAG have been led up the garden path in all this i'm afraid, and as much as they can try to lobby the council it won't make a jot of difference. The political will to make Newmarket happen is not there, so it won't. From the clubs point of view Glasshoughton is a non-starter. The only hope we have is to drop down to the championship and hope to survive, hope that Glasshoughton falls through because of the financials and Newmarket can then be resurrected some time in the future. Its a sad state of affairs when your relying on another clubs misfortune for your own prosperity and one that makes me sick to the stomach. The RFL have a lot to answer for in all this as well. The reality of the situation is that both clubs could easily go to the wall and the whole area will be poorer as a result. There will be no winners in all this and Mr Box will have a lot to answer for.
