Reading between lines can't see much off the two million being spent on ground .For developing grass roots you have to prove this just to get it in a set program why people think this is going to give us two new stands not reading the conditions for the money .

It clearly states the money is to help preserve the clubs and their facilities which in turn will improve access for the community.

The community aspect is merely to justify the cost but I'm certain the Council will be supportive of improved stadia.

Two million probably about cover to demolish old stands Labour not cheap never mind build any new stands will need investment from other source for sure

most will demolish for free and make their money from the steel and other materials they recover.

Let the fans do it.
Obviously within health and safety regulations.
There’s got to be some fans who work in that Business.

Not sure but think asbestos is in the roof you need speciall licensee to remove any thing asbestos massive amount off money be gone just for this. No way allow fans to demolise it lol need speciall training and certification these days just to enter a building site .No way 2million will get us new stands we out further investment from some were think some fans are dreaming again.. That's we out cost off planning plans out off two million. That's why they always said cheaper for brand new stadium then demolise and rebuild . Be over ten million easy to get it owt like

Hope there's a few people with their thinking caps on. Or this will turn into another pipe dream.

Certainly this is the case with some demolition projects however ours would come at a cost, the cement asbestos sheet cladding for instance would require removal by hand and disposed of at a hazardous waste landfill at no small cost, I would estimate the scrap credit would be nominal. That said it would only be a fraction of £2m

Husband worked for an asbestos company a few years ago.
So understand how important it is to get the right people in to safely dismantle it all.

there are a number that are looking on the negative side finding reasons why we will not get on with it, i think we have much more chance this time than both the new stadium ideas only time will tell

One of our main sponsors is Keltbray. They have been responsible for the demolition of ferrybridge power and are specialists in Asbestos removal. Don’t think they’ll have any issues taking our main stand down do you? I’m also pretty sure if they get a great sponsorship package for a number of years, which I believe they will, no money will have to change hands at all for the demolition works.

I would call it realistic not negative the reason we was going for a new stadium is that the board off directors new redevelopment off Wheldon Road would finish up as expensive
as a new build plus you would not have all the land to sell to fund it. 2million pound sounds alot off money but in redevelopment off a stadium its nothing and we won't be getting anything off axiom

Someone on behalf of the owners of the junction 32 site said a week ago it was there plan to work with Castleford Tigers to redevelop Weldon Road thus bringing forward there plans to build on the land in Glasshoughton ...I can't see how you can say we will get no money from Axiom that would go against everything he said in his statement

Not one thing the owners off axiom have said as happened and people still think if they are savours .Every body like 5million pound for doing actually nothing for it but not happen these company's will find a loop hole in planning when current deal ends next year there not daft .

Those stupid folk at Axiom, not having the foresight to see a global pandemic coming a full 5+ years before it did, one that would bring the whole world to a standstill for months on end, when they made plans for a new stadium and shopping complex…
