You haven’t really given any balance at all. You’ve made up a few scenarios and gone to town on them. I don’t think anything I have written has been disrespectful to any of the residents, or dismissive either. Any issue the residents have, which by the sounds of it the industrial element appears to be the main gripe, are best directed to the developers. You seem to have a problem with me saying such a thing.



So are you saying people who have vested interest in the development can not have an influence? Well that works both ways does it not? So there’s no point in the residents forming a group opposing the development as it’s like getting a job reference from an ex partner or somebody you robbed?

Although I’m hopeful of the development coming to fruition, I will believe it when I’m stood in it. What I don’t feel the need to is trawl the Castleford and Featherstone forums finding reasons as to what problems their respective stadiums are facing and why they will not be built.

It is clear that rugbyball and most of the rest of us on here sit on different sides of the fence. None of us on this side are being dismissive of those on the other side, but we are clearly biased in favour of the scheme as this is the result of the work we have been doing. Why rugbyball cannot respect our right to that view and appreciate why we are defensive of this position is a little strange TBH.

You keep going round in circles!!! Can you again explain how it will effect Methley??

Traffic? We have been here before.....the answer is no!!!

Noise?? Again no!

House Prices?? Again no!

Jobs?? Maybe!

Cheers in Advance.

has anybody thought that this could actually improve the value of these properties, very close to work and the motorway network and all the amenities around?

why not ??? we have a few of your boys trawling the cas site trying to be clever then getting all finnicky when confronted with a few truths,(barry clegg 2nd and his lover) feel free to join them in their loop pmsl

As a Stanley resident, a Rhinos supporter and construction professional I have already made my views known on previous threads and also endeavoured to give an unbiased professional view... so will not comment as such on this on-going thread.

However, this did seem to be the best thread to post this news on as I did not really want to start a new one.

I have just rung the planning office to get the application number so I can keep track of the application for professional reasons... and they have not submitted it yet! They did say they have been and are expecting it, but it is not in yet!

Just thought you should all know.

I think most on here do know already - it is frustrating that it hasn't happened yet, but it IS imminent!

Keep watching folks!

I think we will be told when it does go in thank you anyway

Apologies if it has been posted before, but with an 18 page thread I didn't trawl through them all.

No worries!

without wanting to dismiss the residents around newmarket too lightly surely the fact is that they live smack next to a motorway and a spent coal mine. this is not a leafy part of north yorkshire nor is it a thatched house in devon. the fact is wakefield is an industrial city who s proximity to the motorway network is its lifeblood by providing a perfect distribution hub. that is the reason companies like coca cola choose to invest millions in building their factories and warehouses here. in the same way many years ago that the coalmine was on newmarket lane.

sorry but if you want rolling countryside you bought the wrong house !

It always stikes me as funny that posters comment on how bad it is that something hasn't happened yet, without knowing what the individual milestones are on the project plan. Just because the application isn't in yet, does not mean we won't get it in with the planning office in time to deliver the stadium on plan.
