I never cease to be amazed at how ill informed people are.
Yet even more amazed that they then go on to pass opinions based upon this lack of knowledge.
Anyone reading some posts would think Wakefield and Castleford have sat back and done nothing re. new stadia.
In fact years of hard work have led them both to be now within touching distance of their goals.
Castleford have planning permission granted for Glasshoughton,yet are awaiting the sale of Wheldon Rd to finance the build.
Wakefield have all the funds in place to commence building at Newmarket ,yet all rests on the decision of the public inquiry commenced yesterday.
Instead of trying to belittle the efforts of these two clubs why not try and be positive and get behind them both.

Alot of RL fans don't want Wakefield trinity RLFC to get the new stadium on the old Newmarket collery because they know a Wakefield side playing in new stadia in the city will become a very good strong club. Stronger than most clubs in RL and some RL fans and clubs can't this and don't want us to get a new stadium. I hope the Wakefield community trust stadium gets the go ahead it will be an enormous lift for the club and city

Waystone handed the land over to Cas over a year ago..that was in the paper did you not read it that week or just conveniently forget because it goes against your agenda

Only partly true. It wasn't 'handed over', a preliminery agreement was signed stating that Waystone will designate part of the development land to the rugby club for its stadium. The land was worth £1m and although no charge was incurred by Castleford an agreement was put in place regarding use of stadium facilities and the future developments around the stadium. This though is not an ever-lasting agreement and will lapse if the development does not proceed within the timescales set out in the contract, which will probably tied in with the length that the planning permission has to run. Developers will sit on land for years but eventually they want a return on their investment and they won't wait forever.

I struggle to see Wakefield as a city, I know it maybe called the City of Wakefield but in reality it is a town. When you have towns like Huddersfield and Halifax that are bigger than Wakey it means it's not really a city doesn't it?
