Where does it say that ive read his recent press releases and cant see anything to that affect??

League Express today. There's an article with a load of comments by Sir RW.

Says that because it's right next to the M62 it's on Greenbelt land, which means it will be called in by the Govt.

Even more so wtf is he on about!?

Pretty sure it's brown belt land mate.

Not what your head honcho says.

I'm sure it was all taken into account.

I quote, just for you:

"The local authority are crucial, and I believe they will be supportive of a planning application.

"Discussions have taken place with the Highways, because the site is near the M62, and it is in the Green Belt, so it will be called in. But we don't believe that problem is insurmountable."

Says in todays Rugby League Express.

yes and to my reckoning it was closed in 1984 and has had years to over grow to what it is now, should we turn around and level all areas that have finished its use to then in twenty years not have the right to reclaim the land

Rodney Walker says the land is classified as green belt and the stadium will more than likely be pulled in by the goverment because of this which would delay the building. I dont understand what you are saying snowie??

it used to be a pit and the surrounding area had its effects of the industry, since it was shut, capped and leveled it has been left to develop into green land over the 20 odd years, its not like its been green land since the time began, put this way would bradford if the could be allowed to put a community stadium on Ilkley moor so where does green start and stop

benefits are employment would receive a much needed boost in the making of it
