Which are the start of groundworks, hence groundworks started last year....

You implied they were for the stadium, that may not be the case - it's a small matter I know

Taken as granted, judging by the title of the thread.

See old, outdated, and slightly annoying link given the lack of updates and current economic climate.

this goundwork is taking some finishing

TBH he implied nothing of the sort. Any implication that they were for a stadium came from your good self. The question was asked: "When did work actually start?" to which the reply was given "Groundworks started last year."

The only implication that a stadium was to be built on these groundworks came from your good self.

It's a tiny matter I know

To be fair, they took some bloody years to get started!

They had to flatten the land pre-Christmas. They then stopped for the winter, and work has or is expected to commence again now.

What work will they be commencing with? Without Full planning permission no work can start on any kind of stadium structure.

Like vastman said, I know full planning permission will probably be a formality but if there is no real problems with the funding etc, why didn't they put in for full permission just after the outline permission had been granted?
It must of been over a year since the outline planning permission was granted which makes me think things are not running to plan.

Given that (rather than a supermarket or a factory) the current intention is to build a stadium - as is clearly evidenced by the published plans, the planning applications and even by signage at the site - then it's not really stretching anything (except perhaps your capacity for logic) to say the groundworks are 'for the stadium' is it?

Christ on a shiny bike, we know you can do better than that Vasty. Try harder!

The groundworks. As previously mentioned: "Drainage, water, electricity, roads etc."

Nah of course you're not, there's absolutely no reason for anybody to hate Cas or any other RL team for that matter. Anybody who does has clearly lost their way in life.

This tat for tat nonsense about stadiums shows no signs of abating though and I doubt it will until one club wins the race outright or we both get shot to $hit.

I know you have your critics on here, but the the large part I think what you have had to say about the stadium situation has not been too negative or took an anti Cas stance.

Obviously as the Cas club choose to treat the fans like mushrooms, I couldn't say for certain what the reality is or isn't.

I'll tell you what though, i sincerely wish all this stadium crap would come to an end one way or the other... it's bloody draining and gone on for far too long.
