The Council and both Cas and Wakey have contacted the RFL to get reassurance that they won't be forced to merge.

To be fair if the ground share ever becomes a reality the RFL won't have to force a merger as whichever club would effectively be the 'lodgers' would naturally lose support and cease to exist.

if the 'facts' they're using have no basis then they will count for nothing in the planning process.

But what you seem to not see is that most of the 'facts' are "facts" !

"Nail on head" ! but I hope that club (whichever) would continue outside of SL as others have done.

I'm not disputing that a significant amount of what they say is based on fact, but if you give half truths and put a massive negative spin on them, add some imaginative scaremongering and mix in a few things that are clearly untrue then you can make a compelling case for failure of the project.

In reallity there is nothing new (at least that is true) that the developers, community trust, club and swag were not already aware of and yet they are still confident that the project will succeed.

Political will from the WMDC to back the plan and make the project work is what we need now.This is our biggest threat.

As a stanley resident I will be very unhappy if the current project is hijacked and then in 2013, when the site is no longer designated greenbelt, the industrial park is built on the whole site without the benefit of the community sports facilities and planning restrictions currently applicable.

NIMBYs beware of what you wish for!!!

P.S. The local residents cannot use this 'rural' land as it is private property.

Surely if both clubs are sharing the 1 stadium then why the need to offer 2 licences, surely there is only the need to give out the 1 licence. I hate the licencing system but it would seem to make no sence to me to dish out 2 licences to clubs playing out of the same stadium

to be honest i always thought that one of these teams might not be given a licence anyway if you look at the over potentials

salford ( their gone)
harlequins ( and admit we cannot have a team there you must be joking)
Crusaders ( and admit we cannot have a team there you must be joking)
Caatalans ( and admit we cannot have a team there you must be joking)

What worries me is with both teams having the same stadium the useless gimps in an office might decide to lose both rather than make a decision

I can understand Wakey fans not wanting to share at Glasshoughton. But Newmarket is a few miles out of Wakefield as well. I live in Wakefield so if the stadium was in Newmarket I wouldn't be as bothered as most Cas fans. My problem is, there are no transport links, the developers aren't going to suddenly build a train station. The access from Wakefield is poor unless you go the long way round (M1 then M62), if you come down Aberford road it will be packed. It's already busy at rush hour, imagine what it's like with 12000 attending a derby. The proposed facilities don't look inviting. I don't fancy spending pre match on an industrial estate, looking at Eddie Stobbart and co drive in and out. At least Glasshoughton has plenty of things to do. Lastly, building more industrial units don't make sense, other than to create jobs. There are plenty of industrial units in Glasshoughton, Normanton, Castleford stood empty. I'm sure Wakefield fans can tell me of similar vacant units in Wakefield.

If Wakefield won't share at Glasshoughton and we won't share at Newmarket then the only way forward is a completely new stadium site.

Hi all. QUick question - I know Trinity have a an 'action group' with regards to their proposed stadium at Newmarket - is their one for the planned Cas stadium at Glasshoughton? I ask because I'm writing an article for Rugby League World magazine on the two proposed grounds, the impact on both clubs, how each is progressing, the WMC ultimatum etc, and would like to talk to a Cas supporters' group (or similar to Wakey's SWAG) for their take on all of this. If anyone knows the answer, or has any contacts you think would be useful to me, you can PM me or email: ma@mattanniss.com. Thanks in advance, Matt Anniss Rugby League World magazine PS - Good luck in the derby
