We need help at the game today for hour before kick off. If you are able to help meet us by the club shop at 2pm and bring some pens if you could please

Thank you

Trying to find a way to draw on your reserves.

How did it go?

Very well, not counted them yet but it looks like we got 250+ statements signed.

At least we have some now call me cynical but why did Cas wait to apply for FPP only after Wakefield's bid was called in? If the funding etc and everything was hunky dory then your planning application would have been in like a shot ages ago. Whilst it appears that you have the advantage I wouldn't be so sure so stick to your own board gloating.

We were waiting for WMDC to ratify their 2m, which coincidentally was decided at the Cabinet meeting on the same day yours happened to be called in. I'm sure I've told you this before.

2 million isn't going to build you much! Where the other 13 Million coming from?

Considering it's £11.5m to build that means there's only £9.5m to find and the majority of that will come from the sale of The Jungle.

look the oil that was found in the jungle car park came from the cars parked there over the years













before jumps on my back again bit of humour

Are you for real?

Yes. 50% of the remaining figure is £4.75m. Considering we've got the stadium, training pitch and car parking to sell, the land is worth around £10m approximately at the economic high. Land prices have reduced since then and I think it is worth around £6m now.

Says who Fully? Honestly, ive not heard so much crap in my life. You'd have to sell all the land in Castleford for 10million!

Not me - that comes from people who are in business. Really, so if Wakefield's was worth £3m at the highest point, what is Cas worth then (significantly more land in size)?

I may be in the 'Business' so I wouldn't use that old chestnut

Instead of discussing this point in a mature manner you have decided on the childish eye rolling I see! I am not debating that the land you 'own' isn't valuable but you do have to consider other factors...the big one been that having a buyer who is prepared to part with this 6million for a piece of land in a grotty part of town. The same can be said for Belle Vue, as a housing project manager I wouldnt want to put a shiny new develop in that part of town, in either town. But that is just my opinion.

That area of town, including the old hicksons site is being redeveloped into a riverside community, which i'm sure you will agree make it more valuable.

Riverside Community in Cas !!!!...... In keeping with the Jungle image I presume..

All from the same developer Pyeman? I must admit, that would make it more valuable, sorry for my oversight.

Thats ok, there has to be something that wakey fans dont know about castleford stadium situation



To be honest i dont know.

One thing i forgot to mention is that with the hickson factory shutting in 2012, its looking like that land will be redevolped too.

am sure i heard that the new season ticket includes a free crocodile fishing licence now you come to mention it

You brought it down a tone saying I was talking crap. I do no such thing - I talk sh*te, there's a difference.



As Pyeman said the whole site is being developed into housing including Hicksons, the Limestone Quarry. It is going to be Cas's 'cultural' quarter (if you wish to call it that!

)

And theres me thinking that Cas is already Wakefield's cultural village

Why does every stadium thread become a Wakey-Cas disscusion?? fed up with it all now!!

They'll be snapped up for sure!

At the height of the property boom the Cas site was valued at approx £6M, since then the valuation has dropped by almost half!

Ben Bailey homes have paid a small options fee that ties Castleford to them for a number of years that options fee was recently renewed. What that means is that Cas can not sell the land to anyone other than Ben Bailey Homes and BBH are in no rush to finalise the purchase until the economy and the housing Market pick up considerably. That means the approx £3M that Cas will get for the land will not be realised for an indefinite period of time.

Further complications are the chemical licence which won't be given up easily and the lifting of the blast zone restrictions.

One last thing, what happened about the essential access road that required a compulsory purchase order in order to be built. The last I heard was that the owners of the properties that needed purchasing and demolishing were unwilling to sell. Also WMDC were refusing, at least publicly, to fund the legal costs of the CPO and were also unable to fund the actual purchase.

Wow, your detailed knowledge of the specifics of Castleford's situation is really impressive
