Massive wishful thinking... but I do hope it is true in this case!

It is highly likely that the SoS decision on the Newmarket planning referral will appear in the next couple of weeks and certainly before Christmas... positive or negative news, one assumes the Club will have to be ready to say something and release some more information?

Are you sure you are on the right board? Your post would be equally at home on the Wakey board.

One man's positive could be another man's negative.

There is a WMDC Cabinet meeting on the 14th Dec.

Agenda Item No 13 Report 43 pages long Titled "Rugby League"

To be held in Private and the report is not on line pages marked "Restricted"

Wonder what that could be?

It's about the £2m loan from WMDC that RW was talking about in his last blog.

There is a blog due to be released but a number of issues have meant that it has been put back.

Good point, well made!

Actually, having read my post back you could still take that either way as a Cas supporter, the news will be positive or negative and you can pick whichever most fits your feelings and opinion... but the serious point is, there will be news very soon!!!

Fully - Is this £2m loan in addition to the loan of £2 land from WMDC as loan security? If so, if Wakefield do get good news (in their eyes ) would that make it easier for WMDC to stick their hand in their pocket and give Cas some additional loan funding?

I think if NM is sound financially in terms of the capital to build you wouldn't get many WT fans who would be angered by the WMDC helping Cas out with a funding shortfall. As long as it was repaid at a reasonable rate and time frame for all- one that wouldn't pinch the ratepayer, but also wouldn't squeeze the Cas as they settle into your new home.

That would ensure 2 new state of the art grounds with which to build a successful RL platform for the future.

IMO not many WT fans had any problem with WMDC being involved with J32 as long as we got the same assistance if needed. If NM gets the nod and is funded by YK (on the whole) I would have no complaints if WMDC came on board with J32 after FPP was given and made up the shortfall. All for the good of the game in our region.

No: it's the same land loan deal that has been proposed all along for both Cas and Wakefield.

From RW's December Blog

"the architects have confirmed this morning that the designs are very close to being completed and will be ready for planning submission before Christmas."
