Thanks for clearing that up Mickey, it takes some courage mate to cone out and explain your condition. Now i wonder if the know it all English teacher would like to extend some compassion, jumping in with both feet springs to mind. Shame on you

Like it or not, the choice of shops is a measure of economic strength. Locally, neither Cas or Wakefield can compete with Leeds. The inward investment over recent years has been huge, certainly since the transfer of the DHS. This has been laid by a forward-thinking council. Initially Labour controlled, but latterly a coalition. Other cities and towns have not had such.
This is clearly evidenced by two completely seperate projects, concerning the same requirement (sports stadia) within one motorway junction in the district.
One effect of this is passionate supporters arguing with one another over Poundshops.
Quote: Speedy "Cas town centre is a dying on its backside, it's full of pound shops, charity shops and even a shop that sells what can only be described as garbage. The unemployment rate in Cas is higher than the national average with house prices significantly lower than the national average."
This information is already public knowledge, so using your logic no one should have a problem with it being typed here?
It's not about what he said, it's the fact that he felt the need to say it at all that has got peoples backs up.'"
<some very interesting research, showing a wee bit too much time on ones hands>
HTH, have a lovely dayrlrl'"
For starters find anywhere I compared Cas with Wakey?
In addition it shouldn't come as any surprise to you that Wakefield has more pound shops because (wait for it) it's a bigger city. You should be more worried about what you don't have - ie shops that will draw people and get them spending.
M&S? Argos? Debenhams? Game? H&M? Primark? Modern bus station? - there isn't even a McD's and they'll build them anywhere!
I could go on and on, and whilst it is valiant of you to try and defend Cas, you need to take off your blinkers - it's a ghost town. I'm not one of these people who is so into the rugby rivalry that I start to dislike areas based on what sports teams play there - it's plain for all to see what state Cas town centre is in. It's sad really as I can remember it being quite vibrant not too long ago.
If you want to carry on with your research however, try working out what percentage of shops in Cas are pound shops/tat shops/charity shops, then cross reference that with percentage of Wakefield shops that are the same.'"
You said its full of pound shops,not me, You said the unemployment was worse than the national average so as your a polecat fan i compared it with polecat city, if you'd have been a fallihax or shudds fan id have done the same,
But you along with many of your fellow polecat fans continually spout cas is full of pound shops, so dont make statements that are lies, simple as
I dont need to carry on with my research, your statement is completely infactual, but as you say its public knowledge, eh
Now have a nice day and try harder theres a good little chappy
