getting back to the topic,

(and remember this is just a hypothetical-stay calm people- no scratching the monitor)


If it were only temporary (3 years or less guaranteed) would you come to the Wakefield Community Stadium at j30--- or---- stay at WR and spend 3 (maybe more) years outside super league, until j32 was completed?

It's a moot point, given that ours is far more likely to be built before yours.

I would be devastated if we even had to play 5 minutes in a ground that isn't in Castleford.

explain, we have funding, planning permission will come in no less than 7 weeks, final designs due in 2 weeks (isnt that what RW said Cas were doing ATM), BV has been sold, as soon as PP comes (which is being pushed through faster than kebab on friday night!) we have a goer.

Has the situation been sorted out with the developer who was due to move onto WR, people on the other forum are far less positive.

Until either starts building i don't think either can claim to be anywhere ahead of the other clubs.

The fact remains though that out of all the CEO's and head honchos grafting to build a new ground is there anymore credible and able than Sir Rodney Walker.

On the other forum they are allways negative, if we won the grand final and the cup they would still moan.

As for planning permission you havent got it yet and you as an individual wont have a clue if you likely to get it or not, same with funding. i seem to recall some wakey fans seeing thornes park as a dead cert too.

I would question your objectivity on the matter as on your own forum you type c*s instead of cas, which i thought only fev fans were sad enough to do.

When Thornes Park was still on both our stadia were progressing very roughly in parallel. When it fell through it put Wakey seriously behind the eight ball - you had to start again from scratch and Cas leapt into the lead in terms of finishing first. By your own admission you don't yet have even outline planning permission and frankly I'm dubious about both the (whole of the) funding you need plus the blind faith you seem to have in Sir Rodney's ability wave his magic wand and create you a Disneyland.

To be honest though, given that Wakey fans have consistently spent the last God knows how many years gleefully pointing out to Cas fans just how mine-strewn and protracted the planning and construction processes are, it does seem rather laughable how quickly you've forgotten your own words now.

Cas started first. Cas are more likely to finish first. Simple.

I feel you're a wind up merchant who ought to find something better to do (cos you're no good at this).

So you have more faith in RW or if possible would you swap him for SRW?
If it were up to me i know which one i would go for,

Community stadiums are far easier to fund than private ventures, besides if your applying for funding who do you think will get looked upon in a better light? ala Sport England funding for the district going to J30.

So before this spirals into mud slinging, will you acknowledge we are on a par when we have planning permission in 7 or so weeks?

What's your point? Wakey clearly aren't as progressed as Cas, they won't be until they least have outlined planning permission.
