The new development ajacent to the paragon business park is right next to broomhall one of the most affluent areas in north Wakefield so it's good to see that the new jobs and new development attitude is winning and the nimby attitude seems to be losing in our good City,let's hope it's the same with the Newmarket development. On a side issue did anyone see the gardians web article about our great City? which was very complimentary for a change.

Cas will be forced to share Newmarket because selling their ground for sufficient money to fund a stadium will take years and years. The alternative to sharing will be loss of SL status which some of their fans will see as preferable to admitting defeat and sharing our new stadium.

Let's not even open that can of worms.
After 10+ years of this all I want to do is concentrate on us. A ground share in a neutral location (for me NM is about as neutral as your going to be able to get) would have worked. But that ship sailed (and sunk) a long time ago.

As I said the best thing we can do is get our own cards in order so we can ensure our own survival. Yes it's always good to have a gander at what the Dingles next door are doing, which is why I'm a regular reader of both CT forums, but IMO we as supporters should keep quiet & watch and wait.

Just be happy we are in a very strong position for the PI- & then things will move at lightning pace!

Well said

No it wont, outline planning permission will take a couple of months not "years and years".

Opus submitting OUTLINE planning permission soon, when that is granted the money is given to Cas - outline planning permission can be given with a list of things that need changing for it to obtain full PP, which is what happened on the Glasshoughton site.



Technically yes, HTH.

Technically the Titanic was safe bet!

So Opus are giving Cas the full amount for Wheldon Road if OUTLINE planing permission is granted? yet it could still take years for a actual supermarket to be built on the site? do they drink evian water backwards at Opus??

I'm adamant I'm not getting into a debate regarding CT, but I just want to clear up a point in your post.

Opus, like other developers (a point which I think alludes most CT fans- as it has been carefully left out of press releases) are bidding to build a supermarket in Castleford town .

Most CT fans think it's as simple as someone wants to build a store on their ground, and when the council says they can they will build the new stadium at GH. It's far from that simple. As I said there are other developers, with other sites in & around WR and Castleford's wider . There is a tendering process going on with WMDC , the site they deem most appropriate will get the PP. It's far more complex than RW will have you believe.

Other developers and sites even have planning permission (I think this fact was stated on a recent press release), so to say it's just a matter of waiting is naive, at best. It may go your way, then again you may end up back at the drawing board in 6-8 months, sound familiar WT fans, yet another reason to put down the mud balls!

That said I wish you all the best &,hope to see a day in the not too distant future when were both playing in new stadiums, although the mud I will sling is; from the plans ours is better & our sites as a whole are as different as champagne & carbonated urine. I dare say CT will come begging, not for the stadium, but 100% for the training facilities- which as residents of Wakefield they have as much right to use (and pay for) as we do!

Let the stadium race continue, I know who my wongas on!

Groundhog day, with Peter Gentle thrown in for amusement.
