New Stadium : Sun Aug 11, 2013 6:46 pm  
Will it ever happen? All has gone quiet regarding the move to Glasshoughton, Do you think it will ever happen also im sure there must be some companies who would invest in such a venture.......

Also im sure we could do a development site similar to Keepmoat?!

All gone quiet because we need a supermarket to buy Wheldon Road. In this climate, it isn't feasible particularly with a lot of supermarkets changing their strategies.

Unless contracts are signed soon, I wouldn't envisage much happening and I know there are already goings-on behind the scenes to start improving Wheldon Rd, starting over the off-season.

Don't know the current state of play but we were in talks with one and it was almost a done deal. Then the situation changed and they had to refocus their business and look at their strategy.

Until that was completed was like asking how long a piece of string is. The simple fact, as it is, is that a deal could just as likely happen tomorrow as it is in 3 years time. If a deal is done tomorrow then we would have to look at the figures and whether it would deliver enough of a new stadium/a new stadium for us.

"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League"

Waystone have recently submitted an application for the renewal of the Stadium/Business Park approval.

I believe that they have also managed to gain substantial funding, through a section 106 agreement, from Taylor Wimpeys housing development, towards the cost of preparing the ground works platform for the stadium and business park.

A "Car Supermarket" has recently been approved on Whistler Drive opposite the stadium site, so another 100 metres, or thereabouts of the road may be built.

Every little helps I suppose. :lol: :lol:

That doesn't matter one jot fella.

They were always going to spend that money on doing the platform with a view to building any form of structure on it.

I believe that we've asked if we can keep the stadium site open for the next period just in case we do get the green light from the supermarket.

Of course they were always going to spend money on preparing the site. The point I was making is that they now do not have to spend as much of their own money (C.£1.1 million).

( By the way please don't call me Fella - nothing personal - it just grates! cheers 8) )
