Quote Catwoman1="Catwoman1"Just remind me again where the money for Glasshoughton is coming from ... and why full planning permission has not been sought so that the work on the stadium can get started.
Our full plans are ready and waiting to go as soon as outline permission is granted.'"
i think all these ground threads have now just about proved themselves to be totally pointless, neither set of fans wants to go to the others ground but at the end of the day the decision wont be made by the fans.
Both developments have their own specific problems Cas dont have the money to move forward and Wakey dont have the planning permission and just as an outsider looking in i think there is a massive question mark as to wheather the site will ever get planning permission, or to re-phrase that if it will get planning permission in time. So what is the answer to this, cas somehow struggle forward on their own and maybe somehow manage to build half a stadium (doubtful i think).
wakey if PP isnt approved go to Barnsley as paying tennants (would be very expensive i think and would be bound to hit the clubs revenues as gates are bound to fall) and how long could the club sustain this, just say as a figure 2 years untill planning went through (once again doubtful i think), or i could be wrong and planning could go through in september which would probbably make newmarket the best option for both clubs.
So i think at the end of the day Glasshouton is the best option for both sides if staying in super league is the goal of both clubs infact i think it is the only option to be honest. Because if all wakey need is the planning permission and that does get held up all they have to do is share with cas untill it gets passed then move on. I know this post probbably wont be too well recieved but i think this is the only way one or both teams are going to still be in super league after the next set of licences are issued, but on the other side of that as i said earlier if wakey truely believe planning will be granted in time for newmarket then they should stick with that and both clubs go it alone. Thats how i see the situation anyway and as i said the fans opinions wont count for much at the end of the day but a desision will need to be made by both clubs and the council very soon or i fear it will all be too late anyway.
