Didn't RW say there's an option of building 2 or 3 sides to start with if theres short fall.

In 2 weeks time we will see the architect's plan's at the leeds game, we should know more then.
Fingers crossed.

Yeah, he said that in the webchat I think.

I also recall that he said they'd have to have meetings with the RFL to discuss that, and ensure that it was reasonable.

I hate the waiting game, I would love to be able to fast forward a couple of years and see what's going on at the Glasshoughton site.

Thats the golden question mate ??? who knows we were told we had funding in place for the 13000 stadia then we would build the 2 long sides 1st ?? Then the council said we could have the land to borrow against ?? then lots of smoke mirrors councils involved

truth is the club wont tell us and for me suggests its not sorted

This remains the unknown factor to the fans. If rumours are to be believed there is a massive funding gap.

However there has been positive news in recent weeks about the Hicksons site being cleared, the confirmation of the £2m land promise from the council and hopefully that will go towards filling this gap. I reckon there is still work that needs to be done though.

I am sure that the club is fully aware that this has to happen, far too much time and money has been spent getting the plans to where they are now and I can't honestly believe that the board and indeed Waystone would be in the position they are now if they didn't believe that the ground could become a reality. In fact, I'm sure Waystone would have washed their hands of the whole thing if they didn't believe it could happen.

Doesn't necessarily mean it's there, nor does it mean the entire stadium will be built. Could have enough to fund two sides and fill in the two ends later but we'll see.

Yeah said that in my post higher up.

Well at least we know we have £2m now. Depending on the overall cost that's between one-seventh and one-tenth of the total money.
