Quote: bren2k "In fairness, it's no more vomit-worthy than all the nouveau eco-warriors over on the nutjob forum, lamenting the loss of acres of idyllic countryside, cruelly taken away from generations of asthmatic children to come.'"


It's all a bloody joke now anyway.

People need to grow up.

"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall" "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":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39793.jpg



Quote: vastman "Still peddling the same big lie Alf - get over yourself and try not to look dumber than you already do.

The Councils only monetary involvement was the putting up security - a piece of council land worth 2 million to cover any risk being taken by the developerGrow up mate, grow up
Vasty, I like to think I don't tell lies, I may make mistakes , but we all do.

The Community Trust asked WMDC for a loan of £150,000 to cover "Design Fees" The Coucil turned them down. In December 2009 theCouncil's Chief executive took the decision that WMDC would act asguarantee for a loan of £150,000 from the Co Op Bank to the Trust. This was ratified by the Council in January 2011. After consulting with Councillor D Jeffrey on 10th May 2011 The Director of Finance and Property took the Officer Delegated Decision on 12th May 2011 to settle the Council's liability with regard to the Loan Guarantee provided to the Co Op Bank.

Unless the Council have kept/are keeping back a bit of land at Springfield Grange to take account of the above then I do believe the ratepayers have paid the £150,000 "Design Fees"

At the end of the day, the ratepayers foot the bill for most of what any council does.
Is this any different? Should it be judged differently?
As far as I can see the council have tried to help both clubs sort out their ground issues.

thats what it is a joke, but in there eyes we are the poor relatives, telling us this that & the other, about how we cant afford to build & how we might have mist the boat in lines of sharing, but when you hit a nerve the same old thing comes out, but as i found out a few years back nobody nose what is round the corner, some off the things i post might not approve with some but mostly its just banter, but some times i read some of the posts, and it makes me made, so i put whats on my mind, but believe it or not i hope the new ground is built, and if nothing can be done on are side i hope we sell, wipe out the debts we have and share, i don't think ether club is big enough to go alone Salford & Leigh have shown that, at some time in the near future we are going to have to build, redevelop or bite the bullet and share weather it hurts or not ( the post above was in reply to redwiteandblue)

Even if that proves to be the case, it's a bargain considering the sports facilities the district will get in return.

I really don't get which part of the 'Community' aspect some people find so hard to understand - WMDC are not building a new stadium for WTW, nor are WTW building one for themselves - the developer is building a multi-sport facility, propped up by some grant funding, and a Community Trust will take ownership; WTW will be the anchor tenant, but other sports teams will benefit, including a roundball club and community sports teams of all sorts of persuasions.

Given that we're facing a national obesity crisis that could bring down the NHS, and Wakefield's unenviable position of having some of the worst community sports facilities in the country, I would have thought that even the most intransigent Castleford fan could see that this scheme will benefit the whole district; it might therefore be a better use of your superior intellect and network of contacts to stop agitating and get behind it?

For once and probably the only time, I agree with Gronk; it's getting beyond daft.

You do lie because your twisting what you claim as big issues to give a false impression.

If you say WMDC payed £150,000 to cover design fees I'll take your word for it - or better still TRB or IA could comment. I did state WMDC had made a very small investment, you'd have to be a fool to believe no money has changed hands/

If you don't think £150,000 is a proper use of rate payers money to bring a 90 million pound development with up to 2,000 jobs then I really don't know what is. WMDC Councillors and staff are elected/appointed to do the best for the district. They do not have to justify smaller sums like this - I cannot see any failure in this concern. If you can please explain why all that N/M offers is not worth some modest contributions from WMDC.

You seem intent in making this a Cas v Wakey issue when it's just a WMDC issue. I suspect you wouldn't if the boot were on the other foot icon_rolleyes.gif

Quote: frank5613 "the former CEO has gone but what has that got to do with the point, it said a COMMUNITY stadium, the word is there and it has a definition, it means anybody who lives in that community is entitled to use the facility not if other supporters think its OK, if you are paying for it then fare enough, if its being built for everybody it dose not mater what the OLD CEO says, but if you want the nice shinny tin all painted red white & blue then the club should pay for it building, but as waky don't like paying it will belong to every rate payer in the waky area, but if you would not like it if Cas or Fev wanted to play there just remove the word community and replace it with the Wakefield wildcats stadium and fut the bill'"


I take your point,but its not quite that simple.
Yes it will be a community stadium,but it will still only be able to cope with X number of tenants.
There has to be some kind of method of establishing anchor tenants/secondary tenants etc............which is why i would imagine Cas and Fev have already been asked if they would wish to commit to a lease.
If the stadium is operating at its max number of tenants and then Cas or Fev decide they would like to use,they may have to wait for it to be viable.

I don't think there will be the weight placed on facilities that there has been with other rounds of franchises in 2015. However, I do think that improvement will still be rewarded & lack of progress met with skepticism.

The excuse of the global recession may have been plausible if both CT & WTW hadn't progressed. However if (& it's still a big if) WTW are in NM by 2015 I think CT's position within SL could be very precarious, to say the least.

I for one love the banter & the animosity between the tribal camps. I don't want to lose the derby, but think that our days are seriously numbered. Lack of progress, expansion in France, reduction in SL numbers- the dangers are all around IMO.

I'd say small "if" now, cautious optimism.
