I know nothing of above but have long held the view that the only SL license available to Cas and/or Wakey will be for a merged club (unless miraculously one of us has the builders in my next spring) If that deal was done and stadia criteria applied, the path of least resistence would currently take us all to Glasshoughton. That would be a shame for Trinity who have done really well to get the Newmarket project so far only to be stymied by the nimby lobby.

Well if the nimbys do win this war i hope a 1000 s descend on there and make it the new heath common, lets see the nimbys move them on.

Travelling friends? im sure i typed pikies!

Now's the time to back your club,letters/e-mails to Leeds city council,Look North supporting this positive project.
Also positive mail to Yorkcourt,the Wakefield express and the club couldn't possibly go amiss.
Get them sent,it doesn't take a lot of your time!

I said the same a few days ago, I doubt that this has anything to do with the issues stated by the councillors and probably has more to do with LCC having their own eyes on a development on that junction.

If the objections were to succesfully derail the Newmarket site, I think that Leeds City Council would have no shame at all in offering land to the distribution companies.

Just sent in a long winded whinge about the coverage.

Still seething, I wouldn’t mind so much if I didn’t have to pay, by law I might add, for the privilege of watching a completely biased report.

Think it's pretty ironic that 12 months since Leeds council was up in arms after Sheffield city council complained about Leeds bilding an indoor arena!Hypocrisy rules eh?

i have let them in no uncertain terms that harry gration n co should be replaced with comical ali (Iraq TV genius) as the coverage is bias one eyed crap with a hidden agenda . complete and utter 4th rate reporting and editing to suit. The next time the super league show is live at wakefield we should make our opinions known like that bloke did on sky news . SACK HARRY , WATCH SKY SPORTS THE BBC IS @@@@@

What I thought was insulting to our inteligence was interviewing a tree hugger who said he had found otter c**p and said it could be identifiied by it's smell.
The only whiff I got was utter bulls**t

Thread tidied up and posts moved the "leeds wigan game".

Lets try and keep topics on track please.

Can someone, as briefly as possible, sum up for me where we are with the stadium planning/building process, the likely time scale and the likliehood of building actually starting. I'm not being lazy or thick (well definitely not lazy) but I've lost track and not living in Wakefield or having seen Look North etc I'm not sure what's going on. Cheeky I know but thanks in anticipation.

1) We've found a site
2) Yorkcourt will build it along with the rest of the development, the stadium and associated facilities will be managed by a community trust.
3) Plans have been submitted - deadline for objections or support was 28th May
4) We're waiting for the planning decision, and to see whether the plans get 'called in' for review by HMG.

Thats as I understand it - I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wong

Thanks

I'm ok as far as No 3. When can we expect a decision on planning?

5-6 Weeks.
