I don't know why Yorkcourt/Langtree etc have spent £?00.000's on planning/environmental/ consultants, barristers and the rest when it would appear that a simple 200 word letter from RW, in reply to a question asked, would appear (In the minds of some) to have shot NM dead and buried!

The inspector has obviously made his mind up and may as well pack it in now!!

It's unlikely to have any impact, because there is no stadium at Glasshoughton to play rugby in. I'm not interested in the merit of his letter. The inquiry will look at all of those.

By stressing the merits of Glasshoughton and saying that Wakefield pulled out of the feasibility study is implicity saying that Newmarket would be wrong and unnecessary, as he is pointing to the availability of an alternative and referring to his view of Wakefield's unreasonableness. It is a letter of objection in all but the word "object" appearing in it.

So the Castleford CEO is objecting to the provision of a stadium for a rival club. That is what is getting peoples' back up. What would be your view if Mr Glover wrote a letter to a planning committee dealing with Tesco's development of Wheldon Road on headed paper objecting to it? Pretty dim, I would imagine.

there is no stadium @ newmarket either or have i missed something?

Re: Richard vile wright : Tue Dec 06, 2011 7:51 pm  

And I don't think Glover has commented on Tesco plans for Wheldon Road by saying come and play at Newmarket, which is the equivalent of what RW has done. Or don't you get the point?

No there isn't. But we've not just written a letter to a public inquiry saying you can play in a stadium that doesn't exist have we?

Oh come on arent the wakefield fans being slightly sensitive and over-reactional in all this......deary me!!!! and the last time i was in here this particular board was for Castleford fans, not Other teams fans crying in their beer complaining about big bad wolves.....grow up please. any chance a mod can grow a pair and delete these pathetic threads.

No it isn't...at all.

RW was ASKED if Wakefield REFUSED a feasibility study - they did he was also asked if Wakefield would be able to play at Glasshoughton - they are.

So all he has done is answer 2 questions that will have no effect on the PI outcome. Glover has no business at all in the Tesco business whereas RW was involved and was fully supportive of the feasibility study which Wakefield had rejected.

Re: Richard vile wright : Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:09 pm  

RW had no business responding to the NIMBY's and by doing so, he added his support to their anti campaign and made CTRLFC an objector to NM. It's egregious, lacking class and an entirely unncessary act by an increasingly desperate man.

You'll feel the same way yourselves at some point soon I suspect, as he's probably just put the final nail in the coffin of Cas potentially playing out of NM; an exercise in bridge-burning that he may live to regret.

Cas have NEVER planned on playing out of Newmarket, the only backup that has been talked about is the Keepmoat Stadium, which is:
A. Already built
B. Not that far away
C. a fantastic little stadium.

No he didn't. That's you twisting it. It would have been considered whether sent to an objector or the Inspector himself.

Would Mr Glover comment on any Tesco plans for Wheldon Road? No, of course he wouldn't.

RW was asked to comment. He could have chosen to say that it had no relevance to Castleford Tigers as they will be planning to play out of Glasshoughton and so Newmarket has no bearing on them. What is says, as a paraphrase, is that "no need to build it as they can play out of our place". Not impressive.

Would AG comment? No, he wouldn't because, with all due respect, a stadium plays no part in the plans for WR or the supermarket. It does however, free up the funding for said stadium. Castleford Tigers' ground has been given the green light by planners already and has full PP.

In all due respect to this, Wakefield/Yorkcourt have to justify the special circumstances for building a new stadium there. The content of the letter formulates part of this and would be taken into consideration anyway given the proposed ground is on greenbelt.
