Moot, mute. Close enough. Forgive me for my abhorrent English skills tonight.  |

| Quote Fully="Fully"When what happened? The explosion, according to [url=http://www.pontefractandcastlefordexpress.co.uk/news/Chemical-fears-at-Hickson-site.4364178.jpthis[/url article, was in 1992 - 18 years ago. However, that point is now mute. Much of the site has been cleared from what I know and it is now defunct. There is no real reason why, subject to testing, the blast zone/licence shouldn't be revoked.'"
Who owns the site ? I recall it was acquired by Paloma who intended to put housing on the site which would have resulted in them surrendering the licence. However I think they went bust.
I believe that whoever owns the site will own the licence for chemical storage/manufacture and the blast zone cannot be removed until the licence is revoked or surrendered. As the licence/blast zone is preventing development then I would imagine it has a value and the current owners would be foolish to surrender the licence without substantial financial recompense. |

I'm aware of a chemical dump on the other side of the old railway line - the Wheldale side (I worked on the restoration of Fryston / Wheldale) - although this, I believe, is off the main site and may not directly interfere with future development. I would however imagine that stringent rules would need to be followed as part of the remediation of the site. This in itself would not prevent the revoking of the licence as this work would still be the owners liability. It will however affect the price of the site and will, in all likelihood, affect the recompence requested by the owners.
This is an area where (and I'm sure SC will verify) YF would have been able to help with regeneration. Their demise will not help the overall picture.
The redevelopment of that side of Castleford is a massive undertaking (much needed) but with complications such as this, it will not be a quick process.

You lot are just dying for Glasshoughtion to fail, a development that cas are trying to fund and get done through hard work and enterprise, while pinning your own future on a scrounged community stadium . I would sooner achieve a stadium through said hard work and ultimately own it than rely on being given one .
Still history tells us thats the Wakey way ........ owt for nowt

Calm down. I for one do not hope Glasshoughton fails, indeed I hope we both get new stadiums and retain franchises so we can maintain the rivalry in Super League.
Whats your problem with us looking at being tenants in a Community Stadium. We have accepted that we cannot fund our own stadium (like many other teams in SL who do not own their own grounds but rent them) and so have gone down the route we have. Its is not someting for nowt as you put it as we will pay rent. You believe you can raise the millions required to fund a privately owned stadium that will be yours, not a community stadium.
We have chosen different routes. Best of luck with raising the funding required and as I have said I genuinely hope we both achieve our goals. |

Wind your neck back in! I am merely pointing out some of the complexities which exist. We have our own - and you played a part in the discussions surrounding them.
There is a chemical dump down there - FACT. How that affects that site / your site / the councils plans for that end of Cas, is another - and frankly I have little knowledge of that. What I do know is that WMDC and yourselves are both hoping for a swift end to the problem and are both working towards that end.
Oh - and how is what we're doing not 'hardwork and enterprise' - we're doing what the council suggested we should do - or is that too simple to follow? |

Someones getting worried
Just remember the ground is open for all of the district's teams it's just us that choose to take advantage of it. Considering it's excellent location and the Cas funding crisis it would be wise for Dickie to swallow his pride and come aboard.

Can I take that it is set in stone then that Cas will not at anytime be using NM assuming it gets built? |
