How far are we a long compared to Castleford and Salford, who currently seem to be our major rivals for the drop? This is mainly what I’ve heard from certain people but I’m not too sure about some of this and if anyone could share any information and help clarify/confirm our situation in relation to the other clubs it would be appreciated.

Us - Just got the basic planning permission, however due to the wait we have had, seem to have sorted out any future problems. Also it’s now in the hands of the regional government, who want this kind of development. Plus we have funding for our stadium. This is all good and short of discovering a Roman temple under Newmarket should get the go ahead.

Castleford – Also have basic planning permission but still haven’t applied for detailed, although I’d expect that to change around Monday or Tuesday. Funding the project seems like a problem with a large chunk of money coming from the sale of the old ground. However surely since 2006, which was when the ground was priced, or so I’ve been told, the value of the land must have dropped. On top of that could the buyer not decide to move to the factory site instead of the ground if the ban on building has been removed?

Salford – Have planning permission and seem ahead at the minute however, there seems to be some problems with funding, haven’t heard a lot about Salford.

Also I’d like to point out I hope that the League is expanded instead of a team being dropped.

If this is the wrong place to post then sorry, but it seemed like a logical place for this type of post.

I'd also like to add my thanks to the people who made this happen.

Where's rugbyball gone?

She'll be cooking the dinner! Won't she?

what humble pie

Hmmmmm and lashings of custard/gravy!!!!

Still seething no doubt.

great news so far... what is the process for announcement of the next stage..?

1) HA giving their support to Yorkcourt's changes and confirmation of the Traffic Plan.
2) the return of the documentation from central goverment, for the "tick & flick" into fully approved?

if there is a legal challenge (I realise this can only be about due process) is this considered and dismissed/ accepted within the 28 day period?

The 28 day period, did it start from 22nd Oct or will it start when the government office receives it...???

I would of thought it started from friday

Great news on the stadium go ahead, i know its not all cut and dry but by the sounds of it its almost there.

Heres to looking forward to a positive future for the Wakefield club !!!!!

All the best

cheers
