Castleford money is not a loan. Its a grant so they will still own the stadium and training pitch which if they follow through with the new training facility as well as new seating, new boxes, 4 changing rooms and a big clean up everywhere else it should be up to Superleague standard.

Cas also have money set aside to add to the 2 million grant to help it happen so let's hope they follow through.

My understanding... (I’m a trinity fan and ex wakey resident now living in Australia) Trinity bought back the ground from the crime syndicate along with the area previously containing the Wakefield theatre club and latterly super bowl... they also had an unfulfilled/ dishonoured agreement with a developer to build a new stadium near the M1 at Newmarket... to get their hands on the land promised for a new stadium the developer agreed a funding package to partly redevelop Belle Vue in exchange for the planning rights for the stadium site.

The council also agreed a sustainability grant to all three clubs in the council area

For Trinity that means a 10m (plus) fund to redevelop the stadium... assuming the developer has no legal loopholes to jump through this time that means work starting around Easter and will be finished in time for the clubs 150th anniversary celebrations in 2023

Trinity do and will hold total ownership of the stadium and associated facilities

and yet it it was reported yesterday that the Halifax football and rugby sides are in a row over the pitch with the rugby side playing and the football game having to be called off (i understand the football side are in contention for promotion)
