Quote: vastman "It's posters like you who make me despair for our game. It doesn't matter how many people such as IA put out loads of detailed information ignorant people like you manage to come to a conclusion all of there own. With no obvious reference to fact or real life.
Ground share is irrelevant as is the post code debate. Just Like Wigan, Warrington, Saints, Hull, etc etc both developments are part of private initiative. Nobody has demanded Leeds and Bradford share though their grounds are as close as BV and WR, to limit us because we share the same MDC and not you is frankly absurd. Why redevelop Odsal move em in with you and be done with it. People from Cas and Wakefield are every bit as different as those from Bradford and Leeds so don't patronise us by lumping us together to suit your argument.
Both schemes have limited Council involvement and are supported in principle NOT funded. This magical idea people like you and old fella have that if one stadium plan is withdrawn the other will immediately gain full support and move ahead is WRONG.
There is NO direct and I repeat no direct Council funding involved hence the benefit to the remaining stadium will be exactly double of £0! Are you getting this.
If the PA fails Yorkcourt will either redevelop NM but without a stadium or sell it onto someone who will. Ditto GH.
PLEASE TRY AND UNDERSTAND, the PI is nothing to do with how many Stadiums are built within WMDC - why would they or anyone else care so long as they are funded. The issue is a simple one regarding NM - is this area of green belt suitable to be turned over to development in general and can it answer the concerns of local residents.
Ground sharing is a red herring that people like you who simply have not bothered to understand the situation quote endlessly and without. Why should Cas or Wakey suspend their attempts to secure their long term future just to suit your myopic view of RL. Especially as the dropping of one as explained will in no way help the other.
Why not just for once be supportive and perhaps attempt to actually understand the issue before commenting on it. There is still even in the current environment of both clubs getting a stadium which can only be good. Equally there is a reasonable chance that both will fail. What is not the truth is that one is holding back the other and that both clubs are cutting there noses off to spite their faces, that is simply b*llocks.'"
Nothing like a reasoned and well thought out response to build debate.
Seeing as I'm so ill informed, enlighten me. What are the main reasons that both Castleford and Wakefield have failed to make any significant progress in getting new stadia over the last 4 years
