It appears I understood it more than than you thought. That said the delays are nothing to celebrate about, I will only be happy sat in the GH Stadium.

I was totally right though and it was most certainly the answer... it was not the answer Wakefield or I hoped for but as I eluded to, the 22nd and the 28 days (although I know they requested and extension beyond that) was important!

IA, what does it matter to you?

Just interested to know what the details and current proposed time frames were as, given I am in the construction industry, it is useful to know this sort of information for my network, but as I work in a smaller more niche market sector (but growing!) within the industry, it is just for givers gain reasons really!

Best bet is to wait and see. FPP is meant to be a formality, I guess it'll happen if it happens.

It is formality and will probably just be handled under delegated powers (unless there is something that has changed or conditions that are not being discharged fully... which I doubt). The biggest discussion on GH is likely to centre around the materials choices and the number of urinals... no more!

Reading his posts, mainly on the Wakey forum, he is obviously a Whino fan involved in the construction industry. He may be hoping for a few nice contracts to bid for if GH and more importantly NM go ahead.

I learnt yesterday that there is a board, unlike RL Fans in general I am pleased to say, where your comments would go down a storm judging by what I have briefly seen and clearly I am revelling in minor celebrity status... now I know I have one... on board I didn't even know existing! They would love you over there!!! That said, maybe I am being harsh on you, at least you have the minerals to post this comment here...

I could answer you (and you will find it already if you look) but I suspect you don't really care? If you do, PM me and I will tell you all you need to know.

This is sad and I would hate to be in the Wakey fans position right now! After the scenes of celebration on look north when they recieved the go ahead from the council some of them seemed to think it was a done deal but all the while there were those on the outside warning that this would be called in by Pickles and so it has. The Wakey BOD cant honestly expect their fans to believe that this is a suprise to them after all of the opposition from various quarters not to mention the misgivings from other fans or did they honestly think that because their future depends on better facilities that the powers that be would turn a blind eye to the green belt issue and complaints from residents and Leeds city council? From an outsiders point of view it looks as though this was a huge roll of the dice from the Wakey BOD.
This is not the end of the road for Wakey as they can still ground share with barnsley (or dare I say Cas) and meet the RFL criteria that way I suppose but Whatever the plan B is they better get moving fast.

That implies input from both sides to meet a common mutually beneficial goal not Wakey jumping on the bandwagon at the last minute because their own plans went belly up. Nope i'm affraid if Wakey want to use GH (once built) they would be doing so as paying tennants and have no input on anything and receive no revenue from other events, catering van payments etc it would be ground hire and that is all. That's all they would get from Barnsley after all.

Because the tight (skint) bleeders would never pay the rent?

Exactly, not the best at paying bills on time so why have them at glasshoughton?

I would be worried if i was connected with Oakwell, or even Elland road (its the latest rumour thats popped up on their site)
