Could there be any implications on the local funding provided for your community stadium under the CSR?
On the whole our stadium is privately funded as part of a wider business development, with the local council giving a land donation of around $2,000,000 for both us and Cas.
Hope all is well and those no good Tories don't hinder your plans!
The public money that's been "given" to the scheme (NWDA contaminated land remediation funds) has now been spent - so hopefully we'll be fine.

Oh that's good. I was under the impression that the ground was a joint venture from Peel and your local council, I thought your council gave a donation of several million pounds??
Site pics from driving (we'll being a passenger) over Barton Bridge yesterday. I think the smooth area to the top end of the site is what MR is talking about further up the thread and is the approx area of the stadium.
Plenty of work going on again this morning as I drove over.

"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"
"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League"
It was just a formality as the project had been called in initially, & the original plans had changed in some area's, so it is all sorted now, hence building starts within the next 2/3 weeks.

I'm pretty sure you'll find your answer if you search through the last few pages of this thread. Besides doing that, I'm sure Iain or Middleman will answer your question when they get chance.
