I don't know why Yorkcourt/Langtree etc have spent £?00.000's on planning/environmental/ consultants, barristers and the rest when it would appear that a simple 200 word letter from RW, in reply to a question asked, would appear (In the minds of some) to have shot NM dead and buried!

The inspector has obviously made his mind up and may as well pack it in now!!

And I don't think Glover has commented on Tesco plans for Wheldon Road by saying come and play at Newmarket, which is the equivalent of what RW has done. Or don't you get the point?

Oh come on arent the wakefield fans being slightly sensitive and over-reactional in all this......deary me!!!! and the last time i was in here this particular board was for Castleford fans, not Other teams fans crying in their beer complaining about big bad wolves.....grow up please. any chance a mod can grow a pair and delete these pathetic threads.

No it isn't...at all.

RW was ASKED if Wakefield REFUSED a feasibility study - they did he was also asked if Wakefield would be able to play at Glasshoughton - they are.

So all he has done is answer 2 questions that will have no effect on the PI outcome. Glover has no business at all in the Tesco business whereas RW was involved and was fully supportive of the feasibility study which Wakefield had rejected.

RW had no business responding to the NIMBY's and by doing so, he added his support to their anti campaign and made CTRLFC an objector to NM. It's egregious, lacking class and an entirely unncessary act by an increasingly desperate man.

You'll feel the same way yourselves at some point soon I suspect, as he's probably just put the final nail in the coffin of Cas potentially playing out of NM; an exercise in bridge-burning that he may live to regret.

Cas have NEVER planned on playing out of Newmarket, the only backup that has been talked about is the Keepmoat Stadium, which is:
A. Already built
B. Not that far away
C. a fantastic little stadium.

No he didn't. That's you twisting it. It would have been considered whether sent to an objector or the Inspector himself.

Would AG comment? No, he wouldn't because, with all due respect, a stadium plays no part in the plans for WR or the supermarket. It does however, free up the funding for said stadium. Castleford Tigers' ground has been given the green light by planners already and has full PP.

In all due respect to this, Wakefield/Yorkcourt have to justify the special circumstances for building a new stadium there. The content of the letter formulates part of this and would be taken into consideration anyway given the proposed ground is on greenbelt.

I am no fan of Richard Wright but all he has done is repeat what he said when the Council wanted to do the study into the two sites before Wakefield turned it down.

I'm sure Leeds City Council and the Nimby groups are delighted R.W is taking flak on their behalf.

Was he really???

"I have been asked to comment on the position of Castleford tigers with regard to the possibility of another club playing at our new stadium at Glasshoughton.


I can only see one question there and and it refers to "another club" being able to play out of Glasshoughton.
Is there a bit missing???
Wheres the bit RW was asked if Wakefield refused to be involved in a feasibility study?

He says I have been asked to comment...

That seems very vague to me. Who has he been asked to comment by? Bit of an odd statement to open with if replying directly to Barton Willmore. Perhaps this was submitted to the Planning Inspectorate and Barton Willmore asked for a response separately and he just sent a copy of that?
