Awesome news, icing on the cake of a very good season.

No doubt we will have to listen to all the drivel from the knockers and doubters who will be riddled with jealousy.

Presumably it enhances the business model and provides a catalyst for additional funding.

Exactly.

I have to imagine that Glasshoughton is fast becoming a very appealing area for new businesses to consider locating to. With Junction 32 and Xscape already attracting people from around the country, something like Surfworld is only going to increase visitors to the area.

Helping out the stadium is no doubt in the best interest of these companies because away fans will come to the stadium and these attractions are right on the doorstep for them to see and use.

Fantastic news! A great addition to the town. Hopefully it will be better than the one in the West Edmonton Mall.

You have to hand it to the council, that is some 'swimming pool'.

Does this mean I'll have to bring my baggies and surfboard to games in future?

I've been doing that for years anyway, but now I'll actually have an excuse for it when people ask me.
