You mean when Emley played at Belle Vue, that lasted a long time. Only reason they allowed them to play there was to get additional funding from the FA by having a football team playing there.
As a footnote Wakefield FC are attracting less than 100 people to their home games. Wow that will increase the revenues.
It will be all mud slinging from now on in.
With regards to the Public enquiry, I think it will be a case of my dads bigger than your dad, with Leeds City Council over powering Wakefield met.

These are my thoughts.

Or "increasing your revenue streams" is another way of looking at it.

The inquiry will deal with all the arguments. The question you need to ask yourself is: "why am I interested in Wakefield's stadium development?" The answer should be, "I'm not, because Cas will have their own very soon". The reason why that answer won't be given ought to be the focus of your attention.

I hope Cas get Glasshoughton. It's irrelevant to me. Wakefield won't play there, and we're out if Newmarket gets knocked back. The rest is irrelevant.

Old Dicky will be chuffed with all this, it stops fans asking what the hell he's been doing for the last 5 years.

A welcome break for him.

Not me i think he has overseen the worst time in castleford history, twice relegated no real success and poor investment, he is scratching and praying he gets a lucky break for the sale of WR. does that make you feel slightly better. have you now a warm fuzzy feeling in the pit of your stomach. great now please go back and whinge and biatch back on your own board.....

And the reason for this being on the Cas Forum is........

It has been quiet on here the last few days.

Mind you - the letter has been public knowledge since 18th november but of course all the Wakey fans who are so........ interested in the progress of their own future have only noticed it today!

With all due respect, the letter has only been added to the Planning Portal today.

With even more due respect fully, it was put up on the 18th - then was taken off on the 23rd? ( for whatever reason) and has been reinstated today after a polite email.

Ah, fair enough.

The people that needed to see it picked it up on the 18th, you just keep kidding yourself that you are the font of all knowledge and the rest will follow every word you speak.

I thought that was inflatable armadillo

Because scabbytw@ put it on?
Fully, you really are starting to lose it!!

In answer to your question, i will pose a simple question back to you, Why are Cas seeking additional clubs to use "their" "community" stadium.
If you look in the answer to that, on the recent CTRLFC statement, you will find all the answers.
You really are a dunder headed twammock!!

Why would CT want Wakey to share GH is beyond me - they don't have a pot to pee in.

I would guess that they would like a home game every week rather than every fortnight?

Ask RW if he would like to write a letter with the debts that Cas tigers hold, see if he's ready to go public with that and tell him to include Carlsberg in that.

Wakey are a mega rich club

And thats why they are getting all uppetty, if this latest bout of scrounging for a free ride fails, what then for the mega rich window fitter lol

Summat for nowt should be their club motto .

O/T how are the improvements going on at Belle vue ????? Not another fib to the RFL was it ?

Planning permission passed november 28th.

And the work ?????

Genuinely interested in this cos i am not a follower of the RFL in their ''fancy stadia before fancy rugby ideas'' and would prefer traditional Rugby league grounds be redeveloped rather than bulldozed just to please some tennis loving clown at HQ.

Starting early January.

And I have to say I am rather dissapointed to admit we have something we agree on.


I must have a searious rethink on some of my core beliefs!!!!

pmsl

We (SWAG/Residents 4 Newmarket/Supporters Trust) learned of the RW letter before it went on the planning portal, as it was an appendix of Barton Willmore's evidence. We actually even heard about this prior to learning that Tesco had pulled out of negotiations with Opus for WR. We discussed the letter at length and we all agreed that, even though we were unhappy & disappointed with RW actions, it was not appropriate to bring this to anyone's attention at this time because it served no positive purpose to do so and our sole aim is to get Newmarket through the PI, & not criticise RW unless the letter was used 'against' Newmarket.

We did think that it might come up and we said that if it did, we would have no choice but to comment & of course condemn RW's actions (we were all very clear that we condemn RW only, as we did not know whether he had sought the opinion of the Cas board or not prior to writing the letter). It seems that we gave much more thought to RW's letter than he seemed to do before writing & sending it... which is a genuine shame!

So, bigalf, you clearly knew about it before the news came 'out' in the PI, I could tell from a couple of cryptic posts... so why didn't you say anything? I suspect you thought about it too and realised no good would come of bringing this to Cas fans attention prior to the PI, just like we did... seems all our integrities remain intact!!!

When I learned that Tesco had pulled out of negotiations with Opus for WR, again, I thought carefully about it, but only for a short time! I quickly knew that, in actual fact, it was none of my bloody business and that it seemed to have (at that time!) zero bearing on the Newmarket PI. As such, and also knowing that someone would find out sooner or later and post the news anyway, that this was best kept to myself and it was not until the rumours started to break and people contacted me, to see if I had heard, that I spoke to anyone about it. The only person I discussed WR with was you, and that was a couple of weeks prior and, as you know, this was about flooding issues and the rumour that negotiations between Opus & Tesco might be breaking down because of this.

So, there you go! I suspect that this post will get me accused of lots of things both here and on Cas forum, and I think the only thing I have not been accused of, mind only by a small minority of posters, is assassinating Princess Di! I would like to state for the record I was actually throwing a party at the time and as such there were lots of witnesses, albeit generally very drunk ones, who can vouch for my whereabouts... & it was not Paris!

Think you're probably going to have to explain the flooding issues Wheldon Road has after that and why it is that Tesco have pulled out.
