| Quote BaldRick="BaldRick"Serious question . ... I have seen mention of attendances soaring , and mention of employment statstcs improving in the area if and when the new stadia are built .
Where are all these new fans appearing from ? And are these 'new' employees going to be filling newly created vacancies , apart from the ones obviously employed it newly created posts as security staff at the new site ?
Are you expecting an imminent influx of overseas unemployed RL fans coinciding with the opening of the site and the decision of a foreign business to move onto the site at Newmarket ?
Or is it more of a 'build it and they will come' fantasy ?
Build it and people will point and laugh is truly what I am expecting . [i[uThough I do wish to be proven wrong on this [/u[/i.'"
Really? I'm sure if you were you would instantly be back on this board, congratulating everyone who has made it possible. But I'm not holding my breath.

But here’s the niggling doubt that’s in my mind.
After so many false dawns I have become de-sensitised to it all.
It has become the be all & end all regarding my clubs future & has taken away my capacity to enjoy what it was all about in days of yore.
I would be so, so happy if things went our way for once, however, as much as I’m aware, I’m so very tired…………

| It's just a first step and we should not be complacent about crowds. Warrington works partly because it is so close to the town centre. Hull works because it is so close to the old Boulevard (and closer to the city). Our better comparison is Salford, where we will move a few miles the other side of the city and be plonked next to a motorway.
I'm hopeful it goes our way. I'm still slightly worried that RW will get his way, that Yorkcourt will get their development but with a stadium at an already approved site at Glasshoughton, thus reducing the green belt and industrial impact around Methley, which I presume was the intention of his intervention.

Perfect revision questions for my SAT's kids!
I have one lad who'll love working that out! If I start him off with it I'll have an update every morning until the end of May! Sure his folks will love that!!

Now that would be the apocalyptic scenario! I would be surprised if it was in the Inspector or SOS powers to make such a decision.

Know a bit about planning but certainly would not claim to be an expert but I don't think the SoS/Inspector can do what Slugger is fearing.
The Public Inquiry was about the Planning Application as submitted which included a Community Stadium. The enquiry discussed a Section 106 Agreement and Conditions which would be imposed if the planning was to be approved. The 106 and Conditions relate to the application including the Stadium, indeed the 106 is specific on how much distribution can be developed before the Stadium has to be built and no further development can be undertaken until the Stadium has been built.
I don't think the SoS could approve the application subject to their being a contribution towards a Stadium at Glasshoughton which is to be owned by Castleford, a Private Company as I believe this is against the law. Section 106 contributions cannot be used to support Private Sector ventures they have to benefit the Public at large. Newmarket is not a Private Venture, it is a Community Stadium which will be owned by a Trust whose aims will benefit the community and not a Private Company.

What about the scenario of Glasshoughton been the community stadium and not been solely owned by CT ?
