The Council have with drawn their offer of £2million for GH & it looks like it will be going to build the concrete jungle what is proposed at NM, so much for fairness in the WMDC area, if your name does not start with a W your on your own

we got offered it :/ we couldnt use it so fair enough. Our problem not Wakey Council's.

If they give Wakefield 4m, they owe both Cas & Fev 4m for redevelopments too.

A friend of mine who sits on the planning committee told me several weeks ago that the financial assistance for the new stadium development was being removed due to the WMDC financial shortfall. This was not just for Cas but for Wakefield as well.

Lets wait and see.

I heard this a while back and that it applied to BOTH clubs.

If that's correct it's bad for both clubs, so has you say we will have to wait and see,

So why not announce both together?

I have no idea, its just what went round BV at the Hudds game.


Not saying i believe its true.

WMDC have to cut 98 million from somewhere. Nothing for any of the 3 clubs i'm afraid.

The offer to WTW is tied up in the S106 agreement which is a legally binding document, it's not so easily removed and I doubt it will be as the legal process would have to be paid for by WMDC

I personally think developments such as Newmarket should get all they help they need from local authorities.

I know someone who's son works for the developers, and although there are plans in place, that's literally all there is at the moment. There has been no money put forward thus far - it's still only bluepronts.

If I were a wakefield fan I wouldn't be focussing my attentions on NM until I was walking through the turnstiles. And I'm sure any sane erson, rugby related or not, would admit that a development of this magnitude, with a delivery schedule of 3-5 years, is not set in stone.

Government funding cuts/inputs alter year on year, so to say Wakefield are guaranteed any money is slightly off the mark.

Besides, WTW cannot take the government to court should any funding of a scheme such as this be cut, for various reasons.

Like I said, I think the development will/would be fantastic for the district. But the only thing that is certain is that the developers have permission to make it happen, so I think it's that far away that any speculation at this moment is literally just that. Speculation.

The factors surrounding it are vast, and none of which are certain. So if it happens, it happens. Much can change for the better/worse
