It's the same bid as Thornes in the eyes of the funding application, just a different site, A community stadium for the District of Wakefield. And thats the reason they have been allocated the funds, because it provides facilities for the whole region, not one associate town.

Sure it is apart from having differant people involved, differant facilities and a differant location and differant funding. The only thing thornes park and j30 have incommon is being stadiums and being the proposed home of trinity, even if they used the same application it would have had to be altered so much and reassesed that it would take far longer than any application cas made, so they still wouldnt have been approved/declined at the same time. Must do better 2/10.

And what are these region spannign facilities that got you the nod, i keep hearing that your stadium will be a community stadium, but not what it actually brings.

What makes your argument even less substance because I'm pretty sure Cas have never gone to sport England asking for funding.

To further disprove your absurd argument, facilities for the whole district could be based in Castleford because it's quite central and has easy access, so you can't just say it's for an associate town.

You do know there's an excellent bus service from Wakefield centre to Glasshoughton, don't you?

So your prediction for a November start on the stadium still stands then?

Yep, the current word at Waystone is still November to Jan start - there's a bit more clearing to be done then it's time for the foundations.

You're right there is a lot more clearing of the site to be done , I suppose that's why the excavator has disappeared from the pit stack .
