You have outline planning permission
I could get outline permission to build a life size replica of the eiffel tower in my grandads alotment.

I hav'nt seen any publication of feasability studies, though I'll stand corrected if you point me in the direction of them.

A draft design brief
Are you seriously arguing that this is a major step forward?

I have a design brief for a Back to the Future style flux capacitor.
If only I had some plutonium and a lot of cash I might be able to make it a reality.

With a view to full planning permission which will be granted upon completion of architect designs and design brief.

The feasibility study hasn't been published I believe, but has been completed - in fact it was completed last year.

Funding is in place from numerous areas including naming right, sale of the Jungle and another means which can't be said but a few Cas fans know what.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be over sceptical and I do honestly wish Cas all the best but . .

This reminds me of an old comedy sketch where the police call a news conference as part of their UK wide hunt for the most dangerous serial killer we ever knew. When they get the press's attention they announce that they've come up with a nick name for the killer!

I would like to know how committed the WMDC is to the scheme, they was also committed to the new trinity walk development but made a complete farce of it, after sitting and listening to the meeting they made it clear that neither club would benefit from the WMDC but personally I wouldn't care if they did as long as ours was aided too

Can I just ask, would some of you be acting so cynical if it was Wakefield in Cas' position (whatever position that may be) ?

I am equally cynical about both projects and would be whichever club was involved. Wont believe either till I'm sat in them.

WMDC had nowt to do with the financing of trinity walk, that was down to the developer Modus and the Irish government. Modus went to the Allied Irish bank for the finance who agreed to the deal, however when the bank went tits up in the credit crunch and was nationalised the Irish government pulled the plug on the finance in favour of investing in home developments.
As with our ground WMDC were really only enablers in bringing the relevant parties together, spending our money on the development was never on the agenda as far as the council was concerned, just as it isn't with our new ground, so commitment from the council will only go as far as helping to cut through the legal stuff as quickly as possible, the rest, as with Cas, is up to the developers, and their commitment will decide whether it gets built or not.

Fair enough.

Absolutely!

Usual blinkered argument from both sides, we all need to wait and see IMO.

Don't get touchy. Just a simple question.

You've taken it the wrong way.

Its like watching Jackanory all over again reading some of this thread

No point in answering "if" questions

You gave a simple response as well. Whooooosh!!

Is that asking Wakefield council to build some sports facilities on the complex or has that rumour been quoshed a while ago.

I don't get this "we've got this we've got that you'll have to share with us " business. I hope we both get stadiums and just concentrate on playing Rugby League and beating each other on the field.

Proposed cas stadium = privately funded development owned by cas and their partners

Proposed Wakefield Stadium = A community complex including stadium and sports science college situated in the middle of the WDMC area providing first class sports facilities for the whole area, run by a community trust funding provided by grants, trust money and sponsership. Trinity have agreed to play there but all clubs in the district RL RU Football can use the complex if they wish with it been a community complex.

Wakefield council will not directly fund any project but will help with planning etc. cas are ahead of us at the momunt as they've had planning permission for the last 2 -3 years and have pictures of the project. The community stadium was only announced a month ago but things are moving fast.

Is all the above as we stand at the moment?
