| Quote Fordy="Fordy"I admire your Peter Box like media spin - "If you say it often enough people will believe it".
As it stands at the minute neither ground seems to be an option - unless I've missed the diggers moving in at Glasshoughton???
Rumours are that FTP is no closer to getting off the ground now than it was 2 years ago, and in fact maybe further away, from what I heard. I am very much in the "believe it when I see it" camp as regards development of a stadium for either of us.'"
Fordy
Just like Jakey and Prince Buster you have missed my point about a community stadium. I was only pointing out that a community stadium could be anywhere in the borough and knowing the council it will be at the least cost to them be it Yorkcourt  88M or Lateral or some other option (funding it).
I only say this because I was wandering how the council would worm their way out of the argument about Newmarket.
It does seem however that most debates on this eventually get turned into a Castleford v Wakefield stadium competion. I was not saying Glasshoughton was the only option, that to has yet to come to fruition, and I to will believe it (as will many Cas fans). As it stands progress it is a little further forward at Glasshoughton, a digger has gone into the ground unlike just a spade for a photo shoot over the road.

Not sure I have missed your point.
You say a community stadium could be anywhere in the district and then say that Glasshoughton is the only option??
I say - why? Glasshoughton is no closer to having a stadium built on it than Newmarket is at this point in time.

| I would not have an issue with moving to Owl Lane, if they the Rams, and Kirklees council are willing to accommodate us, but it just isn't really big enough for super league, the stadium would need work, to get the capacity up to something like where it needs to be.
Wasn't there a rumour a white ago about Ossett Albion moving in with us.
Could it be feasable for all three to play in the same stadium, though this would cause a lot of pitch wear over the year.

Everything sort of gets lost and miss understood when talking about community stadium/rugby stadium.
What I was trying to say/ask is:, is there a difference between a community stadium which the council have promised to build (hence anywhere in the district), Gasshoughton not an option for the community stadium at all but again maybe a get out for WMDC, and a separate stadium for Cas or Wakefield to play in.
Then my point about Glasshoughton is that it is a little closer to being built than the one that involved Waystone at Glasshoughton. I still believe however that something has to be announced by either club as to their future p.laying options

| I always thought a ground share at Glasshoughton would be a great idea for Wakey.
Adbrigg is a dump with nothing redeemable around it.
Glasshoughton has a train station, parking spaces, bars and restuaraunts that may attract more fans that want a whole day out.

If it's such a good location why don't you propose that chuffin Rhinos ground share there?

Ignore the WUM.
He won't be here long if he's just here for that.

| Dewsbury as a temporary measure no issue. Dewsbury permanently is an issue to me.

According to Steve Gill's interview in this weeks League Express it is.
Also the date for the closure of the M62 slip roads to link with the site has been moved forward from June to April.
I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.

I do post on your board a bit, was there finally any truth in the rumour that security were being told to vacate the site in the coming weeks, seems odd when there's so much heavy machinery on site?

| Quote vastman="vastman"Correct.
I also find it hugely frustrating that the best and most realistic option is unavailable to us long term due to it being about 400 meters outside of Wakefield.
Anybody know if we could force a boundary change?
Even then Box would probably conspire to stop us playing there.'"
Wouldn't that be a bit unfair on Dewsbury, our hosts, Vastman??
