York Court properties are expecting to receive outline planning permission within the next 2 months, regarding the new stadium development. Wakefield Trinity are to be anchor tenants. This will be followed by full planning permission. Construction is expected to start within the year. The facilities will included state of the art training facilities that will be open to all the public in what will be the ultimate community project. Been community based project it's been made clear that all the district teams are welcome to use these facilities.

Castleford, despite having outline planning permission for the last 3 years have failed to secure the relevant funding. Castleford's head man Dickie Wright is a little miffed as to why private companies won't invest into a scheme that will provide them with nothing in return. Recent attempts to get Wakefield on board only go to highlight the desperate situation the Tigers find themselves in regarding funding. In any of his recent statements Dickie Wright has failed to address the funding issue.

I don't understand why some Wakie fans seem so desperate for our stadium plans to fail. Jealousy perhaps.
Just because you have written "This wil be followed by full planning permission." Does not mean it wil happen, are you on the board that decides? Thought not. From where I am sitting (I don't claim to have any inside knowledge on your stadium), but it does not look like it is going to be terribly straight forward as you might think I am afraid.

Also if Wakie are to be only tennants, why are they part funding the project? I have never given money to build houses I have rented in my younger days? Surely they would be part owners, not tennants? Can anyone smell something?

You either barely scanned my last post or totally misunderstood it!

We could of had this conversation 3 years ago! What part of "there is no money" do you not understand? No amount of drawings and designs will ever make up for that!

Good Luck btw

How do you know there is no money? Wakey fans know absolutely sod all - I know that is true.

That's fair enough I suppose. And Wakefield's 12 years of torpor having been accepted into Super League is due to what exactly?

If I accpet that Cas have everything in place, will show the plans at Leeds game, are ready to start ground works then why the hell did they want wakey anywhere near Glasshoughton ? Why was Richard wright set upon this ground share feasibility study and why was he so miffed when Wakey pulled out and refused to share ?

I'll ask the same question of Wakey! Why do they want Cas to share at Newmarket along with every other local club?

York Court Properties and the community trust wanted Cas to play there not Wakefield Trinity! As owners they will do everything to maximise there return on invest from the facilities. It's called business! Cas wanted Wakey to play at Glasshoughton cos they are skint! It was one last desperate attempt of diverting funding away from Newmarket.

To summarise, in your head:

Projected owners at Newmarket ask Cas to share = good business sense
Projected owners at Glasshoughton ask Wakey to share = desperation

You do see how ridiculous that makes you sound, yes?

As I understand it, it seems likely that Cas welcomed Wakey because as things stand Cas only have the funding to kick off a staged build, ie: two or three sides at first and completion later. IF Wakey had come in then maybe the whole thing could have been done at once? It's also a far more pragmatic approach - given what the council said - to pursue the clearly most developed of the two options with a view to both clubs sharing it. And of course, there couldn't possibly be any thought of Cas being willing to put out a hand and save a fellow RL club from oblivion, is there?

ATEOTD nobody outside the boardrooms of the companies involved really knows what's going on, but the one thing I am sure of reading this and similar threads is just how far some people are prepared to shove their heads in the sand.
