listen even if your stadium is passed it will be pulled in by this new goverment for review anyway which could take months, we at salford have seen this first hand, then don't get me started on the council planning for new roads being laid and other situations including residents petitioning about what the stadium would do to the green belt in the area and the enviroment also being effected by the project, things like this has put salford back years in the past, we now have everything up and running on site and building work will start in september, even we will just about be on the deadline of late 2011 so i cant see either you or cas getting everything passed remenition started and building work underway and finished by late 2011 i think its near enough impossible do get done on time, makes you wonder why kear actually wanted to quit doesnt it? Maybe hes realised its just a matter of time before the inevitable happens.

I think that's the longest sentence I've seen in my entire life.

Congratulations?

The project is too good to refuse its a great benefit to the City and district even coun box can't try to stop this. The facilities and jobs the project brings without council funding its a winner allround. People have siad that building the stadium is a sweetner to get the commercial units up. But it could work the other way round, 2000 jobs and state of the art community sports facilities in this current economic climate even the WMDC can't hold this up.

I think it may well get called in, but it equally likely that it is passed straight back without an inquiry.

The cost of a public inquiry and the need to stimulate the economy are factors not lost on the new Government.

I'll clarify this point about Cas for you. We've got outline PP. We only need to apply for Full PP and we can build. We will be applying for full PP in the near future.

We've done groundworks - once full PP is submitted we'll be doing the stadium contours. Hope that clarifies the situation for you.

I'll leave the Wakey fans to argue the toss with you about their stadium plans.

What on earth will we talk about when we are in a new stadium? Oh, I've got an idea...how about Rugby League?!!!

Am I the only who is getting fed up with the multiple threads about the (possible) new ground? Can't we have just one (sticky) thread that everyone who has stadium news, wants to debate etc posts on?

It would appear so, apart from me as well

Ask Brighton & Hove Albion how far that got them when their stadium plans were called in.

just browsing over other teams sites and looking at salford they dont seem to be any further forward than us really!! In fact apparently according to their local sources they are cutting size of ground to 12000 ( with options of expansion to this). Local council funding falling away? Budget a bit tight?? who knows? Its like Cas the rumours were they build 2 stands one season and two stands the season after?? everything is not rosey in anyones garden so to me we should look after our own and knackers to everybody else!!

Mr Box a Cas fan getting in the way of Wakefield building a new ground. How come Cas don't have a new ground with being fortunate enough to have Mr Box has a fan?

Good question. Anyone have an answer for this well named poster ?

For all the help Peter ‘I’m just trying to help both clubs’ Box can provide Cas, he can’t exactly pull £20 notes from his backside to enable Cas to build the project. He’s done his best to try and ensure all the ‘assistance’ the council is providing be diverted to that development but lost that battle when the strength of feeling from the interested parties of Newmarket became apparent.

Who'd have thought it on a rugby forum!

What groundworks? When I drove past the other day it didn't look much like any groundwork was done at all! Just an old sign with woodworm that's been there for a good 3 years! Land has possibly been prepared but not specifically for a stadium! If you fail to come up with the dosh I'm sure an other project in time will be benefit from the so called groundworks.

I think your missing one [size=150very very major and important point[/size Fully, and we both know what that is don't we!

Tell em about the funding (or lack off!)

We already know the key stakeholders and we know what needs to be done.

Like I said groundworks to make land available to develop on, what ever may be built there!

Although we've just signed a contract to state the stadium is going there.......? Wake up mate, the fact is a stadium going to be built there. No, there are issues to overcome in getting the funding, look at Hickson's for example.

These have not moved over the past year or two hence the delays.

Keep going guys, you're almost at the top of the wall in this ing contest

You mean you've had planning permission for 3 years and you never had the land to build on? mmm sounds fishy to me! I personally think you've had this contract since outline PP was granted. Dickie Wright had to tell the fans something in his panic statement (the on a couple of days after Wakey told Cas to do one!)

Even if you have just signed a contract to have exclusive rights to that land I'm pretty sure it will be time sensitive. It's not like Waystones are going to keep the land undeveloped for ever. It certainly not a fact that a stadium is going to be built there. If you don't provide the dosh in a certain period of time ( 3 years already gone) I'm sure the land will be turned over to a project thats does have the dosh. The clocks ticking..

The clock's ticking for Wakefield too.

I'm under no doubt about that one. September is our Waterloo at least we will know one way or the other. For Cas with this never ending funding crisis it could in reality go on for ever.

Sounds like you're searching for any excuse to try and criticise GH to me.

As for a "funding crisis", it's only the Wakefield fans that really believe that and keep pedalling that theory.

fully .. don't forget the banks please ! they laughed at casistan's valuation's!
