The council will help fund the Cas project. Reasons are tourism. The Exscape and shopping outlet will be big winners. The new tech will also benifit with new sports Centre. Whats stanley got? Now thats me thinking like a buisness man not as a Cas/Wakey fan.

That's the idea, it will develop new benifits for Stanely! Walker is no idiot, he will know that it's a ideal site otherwise he would not be involved.

As for Wakey college moving out date at Thornes, it gets changed every year!

No they won't - they won't fund either as stated by Peter Box as policy in Council Chambers in October last year. Certainly not money and that is fact.

Well rationally speaking. Cas have already secured planning permission and had it ratified by central Government too. Further (the reports tell us) Cas don't need WMDC money to complete the project, so I'm not too sure - rationally speaking - that Cas need to play with the body politic too much more. But not to worry... do continue: By 'monkey' I take it you mean provision of sports/fitness facilities in the city? Hmm, I wonder how pleased people living south of the city centre will be if all they're given is Stanley. Will it? If Cas raise their own private funds, isn't it rational to expect there'll be a bit of objection from Cas based tax-payers when WMDC start handing out their money to Wakey? You know, similar to the sort of objections you guys were voicing when the reverse was suggested? You seem to have missed a fourth, equally rational, possible scenario. What happens if Stanley falls on its a*se like Thornes did? Sorry mate. I'm not worried in the slightest. I'm supremely confident that Cas won't share a ground with Wakey in Wakey. But even if I'm wrong and they did, there's always Kent Ravens. Responded above. Nothing further necessary. At this point, I think it might be prudent to wait and see what this week brings. I hear that Richard Wright may have something more to add to the stadium debate in the not too distant future. I don't know any more than you what that something is, but if you're bored I'm happy to speculate for a laugh. Yes Stanley could fall on it's ar*e - now swallow hard and say the same about Glasshoughton. Like I say, it's just one of those you know what will happen next moments for me. It's just what I think will happen.

Well, they could 'fund' it indirectly. If they want council facilities in it, i.e. a decent swimming pool they can say, stick it in the stadium costs, we'll pay for that etc.

My Bad Vasty.
I should have put part funded it.
The council would be stupid not to get a running track, state of the art gym and new sports Centre/swimming pool for half the building price and at half the running costs,all they need to do is help fund a part of it.
All this and the NEW tech thats open in Glasshoughton and where some of the Thornes park students will be moving to anyways.

Yes of course, even at Castleford's RELATIVELY ADVANCED STAGE Glasshoughton could still ultimately fail.

I understand there is a sinking feeling about the Glasshoughton site.

just seen the interview for the first time and like with Chinese whispers everyone hears and perceives things differently .

for me the translation sounded like this.

I wish we would of got our butt in gear sooner as now with the economy the baba has hit the fan , to make matters worse them barstewards down the road are announcing plans to build a stadium right on our f'ing boundary. i wondered why wakey hardly battered an eyelid when the park idea was turned down . we cannot share as both sets of fans are bigots and have many issues although it could work as we do have a jack Fulton's in wakey . TBH i blame brad Davies ever since he muttered those fatal words and sculthorpe's pit bull crapped on the field we always end up making an ass of ourselves and make Wakefield look the better option.

just my interpretation.

My translation

Oh wakey have announced that there going to build a stadium again? how many times is that now? 3? 4? i've lost count.

just my interpretation
