Well you can put your simple mind at ease - the new jobs (and hence tax) and council tax that will be paid by the industrial unit occupiers, will more than cover any maintenance costs of the stadium. Why not drop this transparent "won't somebody think of the children" facade and just admit that you believe that Wakefield gaining a new stadium will be to the detriment of Cas? There's no shame in that, but there's plenty in pursuing this bizarre "Jekyll and Hyde" routine that you do so badly.

Post of the day!

Got to love the desperation of Fully and co, playing the 'council tax' card and trying to suggest that the provision of first class sporting facilities for the City shouldn't be a priority; in case you missed it over there in the small town in Wakefield, we're facing a national public health crisis and our City has been outed as having a chronic shortage of sports facilities.

It's painfully clear that you like to obfuscate, but you are very aware that unlike Castelford's plans, the NM development is for a Community Stadium and will include pitches and training facilities for youth and amateur teams, as well as a hub for Wakefield College, which will strengthen it's bid to become a University. Your increasingly desperate naysaying of the scheme is at best pathetically parochial and at worst, shows a startling lack of care for the wider benefits the development will provide to the whole district.

People like you are the reason everyone laughs at Cas; shame on you Fully, and your small-town cronies.

Hoping to get a decision before the end of the coaching staff, but if not I think I'll move on to the dolls rather than the reserves or academy, at least that will be some light relief.

Re the council paying for upkeep: they don't have any money, so they can't (where have I heard that phrase before?).

If it were not for the economic situation though, I don't see any issue with the council paying for the maintenance of the much needed community sports facilities (minus the stadium) as they should be responsible for them, not only their upkeep but also their construction, so WMDC will do rather well out of the deal.

The best laugh was the poster somewhere who highlighted the potential increase in childhood asthma in the area due to the increased traffic at the site. Next to 6 lanes of one of the busiest motorways in Britain? not sure of the significance.

On the other aspect of rental cost. How much of the capital for the build will the stadium trust be expected to pay back?

Who pays for maintenance on that poxy bridge, i am a Wakey ratepayer and i didn't want it and will never have need to use it, total waste of money and all it does is give shelter to the trolls.

What a waste of taxpayers money and its got toxic paint that will harm the fish.

Thats exactly what I thought about the Hepwoth Gallery.

Why are we getting involved with ourb friends from over the common.
Apart from both clubs trying to build new stadia, this thread has got sweet fa to do with them.
D -1 still no news

I agree Why feed the trolls, tell them to go away and sort their own club out/ground or come and join me and other WF10 wildcats...

Inside info and any influence on the Newmarket decision...... No
Cas fans clutching at straws and basically bricking it...... Yes !!!!

Agreed, a typically one eyed view from one of Cas's most cyclopic posters. There are a million and one things i pay for through my taxes that i either get no or little value from, (Fully Paddy Mode ON) I'm not paying anymore, its not fare!! (Fully Paddy Mode OFF).
At the end of the day its for people with a broad view of the district (or country for that matter) to plan how best to spend the money against all possible benefits for the district as a whole, not some deluded chump with a small mind who used to live in Huddersfield.
Now back O/T if possible, any news on the delay, please only answer if you know????

And thats my point.

Tigerade agrees so that 3 of us, if certain posters don't understand that we can't "pick and choose" then its tough luck.

But i don't feel the need to rally support against "bridges" that serve the community.

Come the revolution comrade, come the revolution!!!!

Lets go pull it down - Vikings style!

Have you been?

It's stunning and has attratced tens of thousands of visitors in it's short existence.

The Hepworth is an outstanding success story for the Wakefield District, just like NM will be.

Yeah - it is. Some people said that about our bridge as well.

Big Eric's team are seemingly making some decisions and I think this bodes well for the answer we are hoping will come very soon.

Good news for RL in York.

It is indeed. Looks a smart little ground. DLA certainly get about.

Anyone know the real reason to yet another delay.

Eric Pickles!!

No bull Please the wildcats know the truth but not telling

C'mon then,spill what you know!

Has anyone actually seen written conformation that the council were due to ratify the LDF today? IA do you know? People seemed to think so on Monday, but I was unable to find it listed on the agenda for todays meeting. Nobodies mentioned it on here either.

I was just going to ask Fully, nothing goes on without his say so apparently, but I thought he might be too busy with his sports journalism. Not a patch on Mick the Gled IMO.

An email from the SoS did not give any reason, why do you presume otherwise?

The spillage won't need much mopping!!

www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/ ... -1-4650706 Just did a search for LDF related news items & found this. I was under the impression that the LDF was due to be ratified this week. However the WE say something much different in this article. Quote The plans have gone through several years of public consultation and have now been approved by an independent planning inspector. And the final document will be considered by a council cabinet committee in September.'" Can someone please shed some light on this.

WE has not had up to date information about the stadium this last few weeks, so this might not be correct.
