Have been hardly able to contain myself in anticipation so here's the thread for you all !!

Just said that Wakefield will only be playing at Newmarket and having the. backing of Wakefield Council they will not be playing at Glasshoughton.

All parties - in agreement - the way forward is at Newmarket. Not sharing/moving to Glasshoughton.

All parties involved from Wakefield side of things all in agreement that Glasshoughton is not an option, Newmarket is the only way forward. A shared stadium is possible but it would have to be at Newmarket, and they would not consider going to Glasshoughton. TR was just setting the record straight - according to Radio Leeds.

So everyone is back to square one, yay.

Cas won't go to Newmarket, Wakefield won't go to Glasshoughton, no council money for anyone then

Hahaha that's the 'BIG' halftime announcement. So basically they HAVE pulled out of the feasiblity study and are going to try and get NM no matter what.

Putting it that way puts a whole different spin on things compared to the radio bloke saying the council agreed too.

My understanding of the announcement was that this shared stadium at Newmarket had 'full' backing from Wakefield Council. On that basis, Castleford staying at Glasshoughton doesn't?

The council said they would only loan the land for a shared stadium so no point having the study now - if Cas do not want to come to NM then as above no funding for either

Yep, Ted confirming that the only stadium that WTW will be moving to is at Newmarket!

A meeting with all the important parties involved has recognised this and even WMDC have pledged their full support to the NM project.

The statement also seemed to rule out any potential move to Barnsley but didn't rule out a Cas move to NM.

2012 was mentioned as the year WTW were expe ting to play at NM.

Or, as said yesterday another way at looking at it is Wakefield have essentially made an ultimatum - thus saying no to a ground share, meaning Cas get the 4m because they were open for a full and fair feasibility study, whereas Wakey have come out of this looking close minded and quite pathetic, they probably knew that Glasshoughton would have been the favoured location.

On top of that, if Rodney Walker claims all the funds are there, why do they need the council money?

Isn't this the Wakey way? Didn't the council back the Thornes Park project?? I'd wait for the council's comments first.

I think that will be ruled out as of tomorrow morning.

That's fine we all know where we stand now.
Rather backs Mr Wright into a corner now doesn't it because there is no way they can fund GH with the land for now't or not.

What about Dicky Wright it was always going to be Cas own stadium until he realised you didnt have the funds. If as you keep saying you have the funds for a phased build, you don't need the councils money either and there is no way even box can justify using the full parcel for Glasshoughton
