Re: New Ground for Cas or NOT !
Sounds like we could need a plan B then
Could someone remind me how Leeds Utd built the East Stand?. Didn't they use a bond scheme with fans as part of the scheme?

Re: New Ground for Cas or NOT !
Regarding plan B. I did a post last summer some time about this and just to remind you I basically said: Take a look at what Fev have done at their ground. Demolished the terracing at the railway end and built a new stand further back making the pitch full size. They got the stand (2 stands I believe) from the defunct Scarborough football club. Loads of volunteers helped strip them transport them and rebuild them. I don't know the total cost but it was very cheap as the stands were virtually scrap value plus all the help from supporter volunteers. My thoughts are why cant we do something similar. Build a new (second hand ) stand behind the railway end terrace. Then remove that terracing & make it a full size pitch, (get Eddie Hemmings and co off our backs over our short pitch). Do something similar on the main stand side. Wheldon Road & Princess St. stands are ok. There are quite a few derelict stadiums around with stands far better than we have. If Fev can get it done with a couple of thousand supporters I'm sure we could muster up some volunteers from our just short of 9000 fans who came to all our home games in 2017. I know this wouldn't be the shiny new stadium people want, but for me I like W.R. I know fans of other clubs like it too because its one of a handful that are left now of real Rugby League grounds. Just a thought, but Fev have shown it can be done on a shoestring, and then at the end of the day it would be ours, not a big company charging excessive rents or, heaven forbid, worst case scenario sharing with a football club.

Re: New Ground for Cas or NOT !
M&S told staff the j32 store is closing and the Leeds store staff can move to the new Cas store so I'd be shocked if they pull out of this scheme.

Not sure if that’s a typo but part of the plan was that M and S had agreed NOT to close the town sitesTheSheriff wrote:M&S told staff the j32 store is closing and the Leeds store staff can move to the new Cas store so I'd be shocked if they pull out of this scheme.

Never mentioned the town centre store, just the store at junction 32.
Re: New Ground for Cas or NOT !
Also it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are pulling out of 5 towns. See quote below taken from:
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.manche ... 944160.amp
“An M&S spokeswoman said: “We’re adapting to changing customer habits and this means taking some tough decisions – we’re investing in new stores, relocating stores and, in some cases, closing stores.
“In this case, we don’t believe relocating the store is the right move and have therefore informed the council that we no longer intend to proceed.”
In my opinion moving the store to Glasshougton would benefit M&S,like it or not Cas town centre is dying and Glasshougton is thriving. It’s not all doom and gloom just yet.

Re: New Ground for Cas or NOT !
I think your right. The town centre store will most likely be closed and staff moved to gh. It's sad but expected. You can read the ft and get both decisions but a signed contract to build would take some getting out of and you can even blame it for the shutting of the old store. A win win for them.sirocco7 wrote:Also it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are pulling out of 5 towns. See quote below taken from:

The article states a minimum of 3 years and that lateral are payOMG for the store to be converted. So I genuinely believe this is one project that M&S will keep.

And the town centre one wouldn't be immediately turned into just a food store, they want to see how much impact the new one has on the town centre store first. The J32 store would close because why would they want an outlet store across the road?

Re: New Ground for Cas or NOT !
I would imagine keeping the town centre store open would mean paying rent and maybe having one member of staff selling a m and s product. Paying up for 3 years at that level would be cheap in comparison to trying to get our off a multi million pound build and agreement at five towns.
I personally don't think a town centre lives or dies on one store. They may want to sell the store and relocate to a smaller one.

Re: New Ground for Cas or NOT !
I think the development is funding the 2 town stores as part of the deal
