Nobody doubts that.
The reason everyone is happy is that this stage was a possible showstopper and it has proved, with a lot of hard work from many people, that it is no longer a block to us.

Cas passed this point a long time ago but have then stopped for other reasons. We were held back at this point so took a lot of work to move on but it appears (and time will tell) that work has been progressing in all the other areas, which will speed up the later changes.

Either way, there are no diggers on Newmarket either, but we are still happy there is progress.

Still arguing points ive not made to suit your agenda vasty. As for using phrases like high handed attitude and reprehensible; get a grip of yourself you silly sausage. (is this where I use the little rolly eye thingy?).
The fact that you've got so upset shows how big the chip on your shoulder is. All I have referred to are community facilities whereas you choose to go on and on and on about stadium, thus highlighting what it was always about for you......trinity; not the community really. So cut the bull cos I see through you. Feel free to pontificate further and bask in applause of other like minded folk.

I don't doubt that the points you've made old cock, I just don't see why they're directed at me. You talk about my "belated sense of community" like you know me; when in fact you've no idea who I am or what I do every day for "the community". So forgive me while I indulge myself and take a leaf out of your book where we're you when i was out safeguarding at risk children and taking them to a place of safety? Where we're you when I was rescheduling my life so I could get to meetings between social services, education officers, the police and NHS reps? Where we're you at 3 an 4 in the morning while I was out keeping the community as safe as I could? The list goes on and on vasty and I'll bet you're nowhere to be found on it go lecture someone else.

Wait a minute, are you saying we still haven't done any publicity shots of Andrew Glover with his hard hat on stood at the entrance to Newmarket, with a couple of borrowed diggers behind him. Surely we should have done this to be followed up with a press conference saying building is due to start any day now....honest!

Spot on.

I've said earlier on this thread that I saw a letter from Richard Wright where he stated categorically that he and Castleford did not wish to be part of and a tenant in the Wakefield & District Community Stadium. He was offerred the chance and turned it down.

Newmarket will be a Community Stadium and its up to the Wakefield & District Community Trust who plays there and I'm sure Castleford will be more than welcome - they just have to make their mind up what they want to do and pretty quickly I guess. If Wakefield and Wakefield FC sign up there will not be room for many more teams to play there regularly - unless it has a pitch like Widnes.

It is such a missed opportunity for Cas in my opinion. If they were in with equal standing with Wakefield the plans could be sorted so that two teams could work independantly and the colours and design could represent both teams (3 teams to include FC too)
As it stands, if cas wait until 'their' stadium fails and then come in, they will just be a tennant of a stadium already built and designed with Wakefield in mind.
They will then look like the poor relation in 'our' stadium.

Perception wins over fact every time.

Don't forget a series of misleading press releases, suggesting £billions of inward investment and the complete revitalisaton of the City.

You sound to be a very conscientious, professional person but why should Vastman be with you whilst your doing your job??

What agenda, I'm discussing the topic raised by the original poster - you (and a few more) on the other hand appear to be attempting to create an alternate universe.

I never denied my involvement was for the sake of WTRLFC or any of the other SWAG members as far as I know. The critical difference is we were always willing to share whatever we got - you as fans and as a club were not. The only bit of NM I'm interested in is the Stadium, however I am really pleased we got it within the wider framework of the community through which many more people will benefit.

What I'm not willing to accept is to see the efforts of the Trinity fans, SWAG, Ted Richardson, Andrew Glover etc whitewashed out of history to allow Castleford to condecend to join us at NM - because I can see right through you lot as well. It is a community stadium for all including Cas no one denies that, but how it got there should all go to plan is a credit to the fans of WTRLFC, the Council and Yorkcourt and nothing to do with Castleford and that has to be acknowledged at all times IMHO without compromise.

Don't get your last paragraph, bizarre.

Damn that was good repost, wished I'd thought of it

Is Mother Theresa alive and well and posting masquerading as a Cas fan.

Zing!

And the rigged feasibilty study, that was a blatant stunt that they tried to pull in order to try and get Newmarket dumped and all funding diverted to Glasshoughton.

And a letter to the planning committee, suggesting that there's no need for a supermarket in Castleford because they can share the one in Pontefract, even though it hasn't been built yet and won't be for the forseeable future.

There was a long way to go for Cas. If you'd had the things Wakey have got in place when you got your full permission, you'd be in your stadium by now. Don't assume or hope that ours will be as long as yours. Different issues behind the delay entirely. We will be starting the beginning of 2015 in the new stadium, I am very confident of that. Further, I think those in charge have estimated a later date than reality, just to accommodate the odd delay here and there.

If Newmarket doesn't come off, nothing ever will and we're doomed.
