Here we go...

Here we go? It wasn't made to start an argument - just merely pointing out that there may be conditions imposed that can delay things.

That was for the original plan, hotel, n other stuff so thats no good now as the hotel company have pulled out. Altered plans will have to be submitted but as I say, they shouldn't cause any major issues.

The hotel is irrelevant. It's separate to the stadium plans.

Those things will have to have full PP submitted for them separately. But they aren't needed for the stadium.

You're wrong. Cas have full planning permission. Be told

We could do with some cash though to build it with.

Basically, we have the funding but no planning permission (due on the 19th June)

Cas have planning permission but no funding due to issues around the sale of Wheldon Rd.

Hopefully both clubs can overcome the remaining hurdles and deliver 2 stadiums to the district.

Bit off speculative conjecture there Fully. Nothing wrong with that seen as it’s a forum.

The major blocker to Wakefield's proposed new stadium has been gaining planning permission for the whole of the proposed Newmarket site, the outcome of which will of course be shortly know (latest 19th June). A outline funding package has been put together for the stadium and community sports complex, which includes funding from the developers of the site under a proposed section 106 agreement; Wakefield MDC in the form of asset loan land security funding not direct funding (value circa £2m) (BTW - the same level of security value has been made available to Cas when required); Wakefield College, who propose to move their sports, leisure & tourism students to the site; and finally other grant funding packages, such as Sports England, which is being lead by Sir Rodney Walker on behalf of the Community Trust that will run the stadium. Once planning is agreed this funding can be released and put in place over the next 6 months (or hopefully sooner), with the new stadium finished latest for start of 2015 season, but target now mid-way through 2014 season.

The major blocker to Castleford's move to Glasshoughton is not planning (which they have), but the funding package to build the new stadium. Castleford do have an asset in WR worth somewhere between £4m & £6m but then of course they also require additional funding to make up the build cost shortfall. This is were another developer comes in and has offered options to Cas to bridge the funding gap by way of planning gain for this and possibly adjoining/other sites close to WR. The option is conditional on securing end user clients for both this and now other sites, and gaining planning for these options. At which stage we understand Opus will release the sale value for WR (as they are buying it as part of the deal) and some top up funding to bridge that was originally envisaged to be the whole funding gap, but is understood to be falling short (although not prohibitively short) of the build value. It is unclear if that can be made up by borrowing £2m, as the Wakefield Community Trust plan to do, against the asset land given to both clubs by WMDC or still requires some more investment, which they might be able to come by once they have the bulk of the funding as they are close to a major leisure venue in Xscape/J32. The site also needs a new access road and it is unclear at the moment who is paying the circa £1m for that, but again that might be easier to find once they have the bulk of the funding sorted.

What a great idea... if it was not for around 15 million or so minor flaws!

Maybe if you win the Euro Millions tonight, you could solve Cas & Wakey's problems and still have plenty of cash to buy the Bulls! Result!

Cas are going to build ground at Junction 32. Which is close to the transport links of the motorway and there already is train line with a station which is about 3/5 minutes walk.

No pics of workmen in high viz jackets for a while.

I don't think he knows this or the fact the Newmarket site entrance is only 500 yards off Junction 30... granted, it doesn't have a train line or station like GH though!

Waystone S106 agreement.
