You really do enjoy over-exaggerating a lot of stuff don't you to try and make Wakefield seem better in some way? Let me clarify for you

One has funding and the full backing of the council. The other has the same moral backing of the council and huge funding gaps. And on the basis land was only guaranteed today I could rationally speculate the Cas project is by no means as advanced as some think/hope.
As already alluded to nowhere does it say "full backing", nor does it indicate any form of backing that you seem to be reading into. All it potentially means is that you've said you want to remain at Newmarket and WMDC have agreed but at your own risk. They'll continue to do things by the book.
As for "moral backing", WMDC is firmly supportive of Castleford's stadium and will be supportive of both clubs achieving their aims. As for "huge" funding gaps, your evidence for this is? Funding gap, maybe...huge, dream on, son.
As for the last bit, I shall endeavour to clarify the situation better for you. Prior to this the land was always earmarked as the site for the stadium and was designated in the Outline PP. However, to cover Waystone's back they'll have left the land open in case the stadium fell through and they could build something else on it. However, by signing an agreement it now means - from my own perspective although if I'm wrong, I'm wrong - the land is to be used for the stadium, nothing else, therefore meaning that both they and the club believe the stadium is deliverable. Should it have been done sooner...possibly? However, Waystone were merely covering their respective backs.
TBH I hope Cas can move forward with the funding because I would like to see this race really begin when we both have trucks on the ground.
When being the keyword in that sentence. Who knows, one may well be completed before the other. If you're wanting a race, one would suggest you're a tad obsessed. I certainly hope both do get built but don't see it as a 'race'.
However if you look at the life span of both bids not a sole could deny that only 1 bid has any real pace or tbf "drive" about it, as frankly the other has been plodding along for the best part of a decade and has only today sorted something which should have been in place WAY before you applied for planning permission in 2007!
Best part of a decade? The stadium was first planned with Waystone back in 2005 with planning ratified in 2007. That's five years, not a decade.
However, to suggest it is plodding along is laughable. If ours is plodding, what about Salford? Ours will be moving in a couple of weeks when the designs are shown and Full PP submitted. Will you still deliberately be negative then or is this some sense of hyping up your own chances?
If Cas don't pick up the pace I can easily see their application expiring in November. IMO it's time for RW to pass the "funding dilemma" over to their supporters club and fans, be honest, tell them the gap and let them attempt to raise some money. I don't know how RW can talk smack about Wakefield with the poor record of development on this front. Let people who care have a go baldy!!
I can't see it expiring. As for the funding, we don't know how significant the gap is, however, the fans will no doubt meet with the club in the near future and suggest ways of raising additional capital to benefit the stadium fund or the club.
You shouldn't take it personally 
For what it's worth, I used to enjoy playing at Wheldon Road and I truly beleive that we could have full 'derby' houses at both our brand spanking new stadiums. I think we are both endeavoring to put the proverbial two fingers up to the RFL. What a great day that would be.
