You still co continue to miss the actual point and the thing most people actually have an issue with!

He was asked to comment ONLY by Barton Willmore, who are representing and acting solely on the behalf of a paying client, who is objecting to the Newmarket development at the Public Inquiry. Barton Willmore will have had to tell him whom they were working for and for what end... if they haven't done this, they could find themselves in serious trouble for misrepresenting themselves to him.

The letter RW wrote back was to Barton Willmore, the company acting solely and on behalf of a client objecting to the Newmarket development. It was requested by a commercial company with a legitimate and genuine vested interest in conformation of that information.

If you and some (by no means all by a long way) of your fellow Cas supporters fail to understand this important detail then you will continue to fail to understand why people are upset and angry at his actions.

That really is it now!

Waystone handed the land over to Cas over a year ago..that was in the paper did you not read it that week or just conveniently forget because it goes against your agenda?

Oh and as most Cas fans have been trying to say, mountain out of a mole hill

Because as usual they're being over-sensitive and letting that chip on their shoulder get in the way of the fact everything he said is in the public domain and all he did was confirm 2 FACTS...how about you concentrate on the other 30 pages of objections and not a 200 word confirmation by RW which was NOT an objection, just a reiteration of facts.

I understand what you mean and I notice you are a mod, but I think this is worthy of a VT thread, which can be seen as neutral ground, for this debate.

You can split the current stuff on Cas & Wakey out, but would suggest that may be doomed to fail and you might as well leave it be? Mods (not sure if you are a VT mod) call?

Can you provide a link that states that they have been GIVEN the land because I can't find one?

The agreement I believe you're referring to assumes that Waystone will be the developer - in fact they talk about developing other leisure facilities alongside the stadium. Even if they have given Cas the land I'm sure there'll be a clause to ensure that they are the developers. As I've already said I really can't see them allowing Opus or anyone else to move in.

Yes Waystone are the developers, Opus building on Wheldon Road has nothing to do with them - just like when Ben Bailey were going to build on Wheldon Road

I never cease to be amazed at how ill informed people are.
Yet even more amazed that they then go on to pass opinions based upon this lack of knowledge.
Anyone reading some posts would think Wakefield and Castleford have sat back and done nothing re. new stadia.
In fact years of hard work have led them both to be now within touching distance of their goals.
Castleford have planning permission granted for Glasshoughton,yet are awaiting the sale of Wheldon Rd to finance the build.
Wakefield have all the funds in place to commence building at Newmarket ,yet all rests on the decision of the public inquiry commenced yesterday.
Instead of trying to belittle the efforts of these two clubs why not try and be positive and get behind them both.

Alot of RL fans don't want Wakefield trinity RLFC to get the new stadium on the old Newmarket collery because they know a Wakefield side playing in new stadia in the city will become a very good strong club. Stronger than most clubs in RL and some RL fans and clubs can't this and don't want us to get a new stadium. I hope the Wakefield community trust stadium gets the go ahead it will be an enormous lift for the club and city

The thing is i'm sure every one in rugby hopes wakey and cas gets nice shiny new stadium except RW, who hopes only Cas do, that way wakey go down in 3 years, and cas get the pick of all the local talent

Only partly true. It wasn't 'handed over', a preliminery agreement was signed stating that Waystone will designate part of the development land to the rugby club for its stadium. The land was worth £1m and although no charge was incurred by Castleford an agreement was put in place regarding use of stadium facilities and the future developments around the stadium. This though is not an ever-lasting agreement and will lapse if the development does not proceed within the timescales set out in the contract, which will probably tied in with the length that the planning permission has to run. Developers will sit on land for years but eventually they want a return on their investment and they won't wait forever.

Well said my Gallic friend.

Bless. How old are you, 13?

Please don't ruin his Christmas, he's been a good boy all year so don't let the cat out of the bag

Leeds City Council to be forced to cut 600 jobs - however oppose newmarket that will bring 2000 new jobs..... where's the sense in that then?

Do they, well thats good to know.

I wish i could speak for all visiting fans but i can't, unlike your goodself.

I struggle to see Wakefield as a city, I know it maybe called the City of Wakefield but in reality it is a town. When you have towns like Huddersfield and Halifax that are bigger than Wakey it means it's not really a city doesn't it?
