Clarification is needed. If it's not from taxpayers money, then fair enough, I will apologise and re-adjust my statement.

But anyway, it is still silly spending £20m each on two stadiums when one shared would be more suitable and better and saves £20m in the process.

Stadium at Glasshoughton and state of the art training facilities for Wakefield plus swimming pool at Newmarket. Compromise?

Re: Stadium Statement : Fri Jul 16, 2010 11:29 pm  

This debate has highlighted the whole problem with the proposals. Cas fans side with Glasshoughton because to do otherwise will see them at Newmarket and spell the end of Cas as a top flight club. Wakey fans side with Newmarket because to do otherwise will spell the end of Wakey as a top flight club.

This constant debate as to which is the best development is utterly pointless because everyone has their own clubs interest at heart.

Each side has an advantage. Newmarket is the most viable. Glasshoughton has supporters in powerful places. And right now I'm sick of the whole thing, because I see self-interest in local politics wrecking everything.

No it isn't because it has a multitude of objectors, including Leeds council, and has a very high chance of being called in for review which would take at least a YEAR to get done.

There really isn't a lot going for Newmarket when you put it in a direct comparison with Glasshoughton.

Are posts being deleted from here, mine seems to have gone about moving to Dewsbury and completing the two ends and extending the main stand?

As that ground is right on the border.

No, maybe you forgot to press the submit button.

I will not watch 'Wakey home' games at Glasshoughton. We would be playing in cas simple as.

Not read the 35 pages but how has it come to this?Thornes Park was a non starter any idiot could see that. Then 2 stadiums within spitting distance of each other was also a non starter. On both these we were told there was no problem and that it was the best option which clearly turned out to be absolute rubbish. Why wasn't Newmarket identified 3 years ago rather than the red herring that was Thornes Park? Seems that what we will end up with is what the powers that be have wanted from the start a merged club. Total farce.

Rodney Walker has wanted a merger for more years than I care to remember we were doomed as soon as he came on board.
