New Ground for Cas or NOT !

[tigerfeat]

Jesus Christ people have become sceptical because of the promises on other building of new grounds and driving past the site for years and seeing nothing happening except the flags being changed a couple of times for being weather worn
It may well get built eventually but don't question people having doubts on that

[SREGITSAC]

I think everyone has doubts, even the optimists amongst us...but saying it won’t happen because everyone thinks it won’t is barmy!

[flow]

So why don’t said people go out and get some facts before making assumptions?

This forum is hardly well hidden. Any reasonable person could have done what Sirocco and others have done.

It's more frustashion the average cas fan have about the ground don't think any body can make assumptions on things posted on a forum we're nobody nows who the poster his lol. We all want the same thing. but don't have a go at people who have doubt after all these years off false start dates even you lost faith for a few months last year.

Ffs why can't you get it. People are not saying it won't get built but won't get excited till it actually starts getting built or stood in the thing. And not going on a few people on here nobody nows who they are dripp feeding them odd bit off information they have googled

People are not saying it won't get built

Lmao its some egg desperately want on my face lol but people who thinck there in the now and every body else don't now how to use Google proper make me laugh

[SuffolkTiger]

Sirroco is total missing my point a majority off cas fans don't read this forum so don't read is well researched posts. And all they see is a empty farmers field with nothing happening for three years. naturally people are going start having major doubt why would you not. Some people on here seam to get massive offended for people not believing till stood in it lol.

Apologies for trying to keep this thread fact based but there is no such thing as "a majority" - it can only be defined as "the majority"

To do that you would need to know how many Cas fans there are and then how many of us read this forum. Then determine whether it is the majority or minority.

Where are you obtaining this data from?

So let’s get a poll started on here.

No more info since I spoke with Phil Lunn a few weeks back ...

[Robbo]

I can’t find any property co who want exposure to retail.
Everyone is reducing if they can.
We were late with the supermarket and it’s a fair chance we have missed the boat again.
Fingers crossed I am wrong but my word it’s no more than a 10% chance

Why don’t you do what I did and contact Philip Lunn directly ? He was very poitive 3 weeks ago and I have reason to disbelieve him. Incase you missed my post here it is again .

“Michael

Thanks for making contact.

We continue to make very significant progress on Axiom. I don’t want to guarantee the end of the summer as politics and Brexit has kept tripping us up - but we are getting close.

Please bear with us and be reassured Axiom will be delivered.

Best wishes & kindest regards

PL”

Mainly because he's been nothing but negative towards Axiom since it was announced...

Almost like he has some kind of vested interest :-"

Everyone is reducing out of date town centre retail*. Everyone is moving towards experiental-led retail, which harnesses technology and innovation.

This is what Marks and Spencer notes in their financial results. They want to get rid of their old stores built in the likes of 30s-60s, which aren’t fit for purpose any more.

[gateman]

retailing in the high st as i have known it is as now in a fast decline ,my wife and i still go shopping like we have done all our long lives most weeks we notice another shop as gone under , something must be done to get people out and about if the new retail parks are the answer bring it on

Take out the banks charity shops pawnbroker type shops bookies ( two or which will be closing in the next month or so ) not a great deal will soon remain

Sadly also down to the demographic of people in Cas, and WMDC, as a whole.

All the big shops and main brands go to Leeds because it's higher earning, more affluent and have more disposable income. Bigger population, bigger footfall. Polar opposites to WMDC where it's low income jobs, service jobs, and people have to scrimp and save.

If ever WMDC wants to compete, it has to put together a coherent plan as to how they can make the district attractive to retailers financially, how it can appeal businesses to move into the area, and how they would turn town centres into entertainment venues almost.
