So according to the plans the stadium is next to the Moorhouse estate so nice and easy to walk to from Stanley hopefully we can cut through Moorhouse/ bottomboat maybe sneak a pint in at the low un/rising sun. Things are looking good cant wait.

So the several million dollar question is has the expected buyer signed up for the big piece of warehousing yet?

I think i read (on here) that was dealt with "in theory" some time ago.

Have a look at some of the doomsday scenarios being peddled on the cas asylum - it's hilarious!

The pick of the bunch is one mentalist suggesting that the developer will run out of money half way through the build, the council will finish it off, then flog it to us for a pound; I hope he's right!

Result, good old Wakey council, they know which side their bread is buttered!!!

There are some VERY strange people on that forum, it's like a town full of NGB4C's. Being the village idiot seems to be some knid of badge of honour.

However "that bridge"..............................

I gave up looking on there a while ago.
It really is full of deranged idiots and vitriloc 60 yr olds.

Its embarrassing.

Pretty sure you'll find that a substantial amount of WMDC money went into the Hepworth - for which I don't have a problem. Much of the value realised from the sale of Yeadon airport went here - after being ear-marked for the 'Community Stadium' at one point.

I have no problem in the council providing catalyst money on projects throughout the district - but it's only any use if you can get others to chip in as well!

My mistake then, but it remains one of the good news events in the District, in what was a pretty horrible anus for the whole country; record visitor numbers, a massive boost to the local economy and got national recognition for our much-maligned corner of the world. A pretty good RoI for the WMDC council tax payer, by anyone's reckoning!

Agree entirely!

I don't think the person who mentioned it being half-built was being cynical (synical, sinical??? whatever)

I think it was cause the situation on a very base level is similar to that of trinity walk, which did get half-built before the company went bust.

I'm not sure of the legislation ehind it but I can't see the council overlooking the possibility of that - they passed the application along with Eric pickles, so it seems highly unlikely.

Who cares anyway, this isn't a cas v wakey matter, and anyone wanting to just have a new stadium first to make our c**ks look bigger need to see the main frame - it's a massive potential boost to the city's economy - I for one would have no issues whatsoever watching Cas play there. I don't want the situation to be "go bust or be tennants at newmarket" cause sadly I know what most people would go for...

Ic an't see that happening either so, crack on

I agree with you entirely on the former - if the latter is a possibility, I'll take that aswell!
