It will be very interesting after next week when Wakey get their full planning permission. They have the funds (they claim) so no doubt building will start straight away. Or will it ?

Just because we don't have news, doesn't mean the RFL don't. As I've said, they are fully aware of the situation and are fully appreciative of that.

Now we've cleared up that little issue.
Can you explain your certainty over "There IS going to be a stadium"? because i can see no concrete evidence of this.
I can see how you have reasons for some optimism, but that is a long way from guaranteeing what you need (i.e the money required) to complete the task.
That is a huge guarantee with little by way of evidence to back it up, and you can understand peoples scepticism?

Not misleading in any way. We have full planning permission, therefore, we can legally start building the stadium tomorrow. The only issue is funding, which is currently tied up in asset.

Of course its misleading, you cannot start to build, without any money to pay for the job which you don't have yet, legal paperwork or otherwise.
Sometimes Fully you make simplicity so difficult!!!

That we will soon see (fingers crossed) i would hope that following a short delay (which i am lead to believe will be for the FPP to be agreed) we will be moving men and equipment quickly.
I'm sure SWAG or I_A will be able to clarify this for you, it is after all a time consuming exercise all this building lark.

I like your confidence regarding funding KC. Must be nice to be in WTW's position.

I am just fine and dandy over it all, I'm sure everything will fall into place and equally i hope you get your issues sorted too.
I would see no benefit to WTWs position in SL or the district as a RL whole, if Cas failed to deliver and i can think of numerous clubs less worthy of a place in SL.
But these are the realities of life in SL.

I'm not sure it's as straightforward as that - the developer will still need to obtain detailed planning permission, but my understanding is that the work is virtually done and it will be ready to submit relatively quickly - I think it then has about a 5 week turnaround.

Following that, it will of course come down to funding, although with the news that Langtree are involved, that might be less of a hurdle than we thought.

Either way, at this stage things are looking brighter for us, although it's by no means the end of the story; this is WTW after all!

Full PP is usually 8-12 weeks Bren in terms of WMDC's turnaround for planning.

And Kinley, I'm pretty sure you're just stirring for the sake of it now. I knew it would descend down this path as soon as I posted: you Wakey lot just simply cannot resist.

I've seen 5 weeks somewhere - maybe WMDC have agreed to push it through quicker? Either way, Sir Rodney Walker has indicated that with a positive deicison from the PI, the Trust would envision the stadium being ready during the 2014 season.

I don't think Kinley is stirring to be honest - you have to admit that saying "we could build it tomorrow" was a bit of an open goal!

Can still see us both sharing a ground to be honest. If all goes well next week it will be at NM.
