Tell it to the jury (i.e. these Wakey fans....[size=50beware, they are grumpy[/size)

I don't mind the wakey fans, just don't like ignorant people who DON'T have a CLUE what their talking about when referring to Salford's stadium, people can clutch at straws all they like and try and take negatives from our stadium project but whatever happens our stadium WILL be built by the start of the 2012 Super League season.

What a lot of people (SWC) have failed to realise, in business and construction in general, when there's no comments on funding, it's there but when comments are flying around all over, i.e. actively looking for funding it isn't there, there's a reason RW has set them deadlines, it's because everything is now in place and barring a snag in any process, it will go ahead as planned in that link.

You sir are even more deluded that I previously thought.
Of course he would. There is no better route out of the situation from his point of view.

"We got the land, had designs drawn up, but because of a lack of support and interest from the WMDC and other local sporting clubs we cannot afford to build it, coupled with the economic downturn...."

Including the existing planning application, designs and land contracts I bet no more than £100,000 has been spent on the stadium to date. The land clearance would have been done by Waystones anyway, choose what got built. That princely sum isn't bad when you think how long it's kept RW in work. That could "blag" you 6 years in SL so I think Cas fans should be careful when pointing the finger regarding Thornes Park and how we played smoke and mirrors to enable us to get a franchise.

People in Glasshoughton shouldn't throw stones!

£50,000 in a feasibility study
£150,000 in architects plans
£75,000 in land clearing

Yep, under 100 grand



I'd give up if I were you mate, you clearly know nothing about the stadium (or construction industry) if you think that any company would come out proclaiming where all the money has come from is actually laughable, the money is there - hence the silence and targets put out in PUBLIC today. Sorry to tell you this, as much as you'll hate it - those deadlines are pretty much bang on.

Who paid for the land clearance? Waystones. That would have been done for s stadium or any other build.

I will believe it when I see it.

where the other million plus pounds coming from to build it then? Its been publicly stated that Salford council are paying 10 million and peel holdings are investing 16 million, everyone has known this for months now.

clutching and straws spring to mind,i can just imagine you are wiping away tears has you are typing trying to convince yourself its all lies and it cannot happen.

why do you think wakefield wouldnt go with the feasability study ?

because they were always behind the glasshoughton project and they new they would come a poor second.

why are wakefield the only club to have a back up plan with a move to barnsley the only option ?

again anyone with an ounce of brain can see that leeds council will send it to a public enquiry which will put months if not years on any possible build.

so dont say im deluded when you have far more worries surrounding newmarket "which i hope gets built for the sake of rugby league in the wakefield district" wakefield without any shadow of doubts best hope of a new franchise is salford and castleford failing and that is all you are clinging onto.

Leeds council won't be doing anything on this. You can take that to the bank.
As I said lets wait and see.

We're all getting too eager on this. Let's just take a breather and take a few steps back before making comments that might come back to bite us on the bum.

I've always had faith it will happen but I won't believe it until I see the steel in the ground and SWC praying to the Gods.





The Wakey fans will be cynical of our stadium plans just like we will be of theirs. But no use fighting over it really. There's not much we can do as fans.
