I thought all Mr Vasty's points were very eloquently answered by you, Disco!
I really can't understand how this thread has gone on for so long, after all it's about our near neighbours, not about us, surely if they wish to discuss the merits of their new found Superleague lifeline it would be better done on their own forum, or are they just really trying to wind us up about their promise of a stadium, right on the Leeds border? a matter of less than a mile from the facilities at Rothwell Sports Centre? If memory serves me correctly Newmarket is part of Methley, which is in Leeds, so not sure how that stacks up?
But I have every confidence that we will have our stadium at Glasshoughton and that we can look forward to a rosy future, Wakefield's stadium is Wakefield's business, not ours.

The thread has gone on so long because of the way the situation SEEMS to be changing. All the talk at the moment is us sharing at Stanley. It now very much involves you if latest rumours are to be believed. Im certainly not trying to wind anyone up just asking your thoughts on how would you feel if the GH project does not go through, would the Cas fans accept moving to Stanley?

No no no no no no no! I'm pretty sure that's been answered already in this thread. Are you just going to keep asking until we say "Oh go on then?"

As for these rumours, what there are of them seem to be largely emanating from within Wakefield, not Castleford. Personally I'm not that bothered about what Roy Walker (it's close, but it's not right!) says to the press, or what Wakey fans choose to make of it.

Well, they could 'fund' it indirectly. If they want council facilities in it, i.e. a decent swimming pool they can say, stick it in the stadium costs, we'll pay for that etc.

If they put any funds in, it will be enough for a swimming pool. The cost of the stadium will still have to be met. It's wishful thinking to think that the council will give you a few million on top towards the stadium ( we fell into that trap over TP), especially after they have publicly said no money is available to any of the districts clubs for new grounds.

It's no surprise that some Wakey fans have a warm feeling about this situation after the crap we had to endure from some Cas fans on these forums last year. Leading upto the franchises been awarded we were constantly told by Cas fans that we were the inferior application due to our ground situation ( funny how you ignored your teams previous 5 years on field performances). All along your own project was never as solid as what you made out (excellent PR by RW).

Not to mention the ones that came on to gloat about TP project collapsing.

FWIW I'm skeptical about either project even starting before the next round of franchises with the present economic climate but time will tell.

What ever happens and I consider this really important, under no Circumstances should us or Cas share a stadium, we last three years tops before we were forced into a merger. Which would be a disaster but that is another debate.

I bet your not! You choose to believe everything Richard Wright tells you, or should I say what's forced out of him by journalists. Something is not what it seems down your end.
