New Ground for Cas or NOT !

[HuddsTigers]

Having now got on to the planning portal again, I can confirm that the coal extraction is only a small portion of the site and not interfering with the stadium site at all.

The document can be viewed here: http://cominoweb.wakefield.gov.uk/Plann ... nt=obj.pdf

On the timeframes, which have slipped since the original application, however, just to give you all an indication of what's expected

Phases 1 and 2a - 61 weeks from start date. This is all the site preparatory works.
Phase 2b was to be started and planted in November 2018 but given the above delays, this may be delayed.

The club have since said they anticipate 2020 but obviously this is still on a best case scenario and could be at any point during 2020 (though I admit, the original statement read as start of 2020).

RE: The roadworks, I wouldn't believe anything in relation to them. They keep changing. Were May, then April, then October, then June, now December.

Proper update thanks hudds. Wish lateral could give better updates think there pr offical must be on long term sick

[yorky]

thanks Hudds

Thanks for the update Hudds. I will say it again - we don't need to rush the process like Wakey to get this done. We don't want a bodge job. If it takes 3 years - great but if we have to have another 5 years at Wheldon Road then so be it. We need to get it right the first time - look at Salford who rushed the opening of their new stadium and it still resembles a building site.

well i for one have had a massive change of views and i can now see us getting this new ground
the reason for my change of mind is i work for a construction company and one of our top men of the company was saying how the new investment will be in castleford and the jobs it will bring .i dont know if we will be putting in for any of the jobs .i hope so love to be part of it ....

there seems to be more optimism from the fans that at last there could be movement on the stadium , WHY is the silence deafening from both the builders and club if there is any substance to these rumors ????

[Tigerade]

I have a theory about the future of sports in the Wakefield district and how the process has been developed by the council over the last decade to get us to where we are now and where we will be in 10 years from now. It's quite long winded so I will be putting it in it's own thread very soon (that's if anyone is interested). It's based on the educational blue-print of Castleford and how that has been expanded to cover arts, sports and entertainment throughout the district.

I'm sure vasty will enjoy reading it.

Because if they commented on every single worry the fans raised every single two weeks, they would never actually get any work done?

I’d rather them focus on dotting the i’s and t’s and come to us with a meaningful update than something that either tells us nothing or gives the fans false hope of something.

All their planning changes and discharging of conditions have been accepted now and passed. Reserved Matters for phases 1 and 2a have been passed already so there’s nothing stopping those from progressing over 2018.

And you kind of answered your own question: IF there is any substance - there is no evidence of anything other than the information that's been publicly made available on the Planning Portal across the whole of 2017, and in the rugby league press.

Yes - it could be distressing for some.

Nah !

Easy for them, just this will do.
