I, like most, will be happy once the footings are excavated & the steel is being fabricated (By us hopefully), but i feel we're such a long way from that milestone.

oh come on mutts how many times do we have to do this?? and strangley always leave fev out of the equations??



we are posters on a fans site, thats all, its fun sometimes but in truth most of our opinions will be worthless on this and many other subjects, it will be down to the rfl and harsh financial facts, I would hate a shared ground but like you id accept it if we survive in SL. A shared club is a non starter and that would be the end of Rl for me.

Wakey to Cas - 'Come and share with us'

Cas to Wakey - 'No thanks'

Wakey to Cas - 'Could we use your stadium as an option?'

Cas to Wakey - 'You're not part of our plans!'



It's a little para-phrased - but that's where we're at in essence.



FWIW, I know that the option for Cas to join us is still open, and the take up of that offer will hinge entirely on whether Cas feel that their project is deliverable, however, I for one would sincerely hope that we achieve separate stadia for the retention of the identities of each side and the affiliation with their home City/Town, as without these identitities we have little to shout about.



For all that I love the sport of RL, I love my club above the game and a big part of that affection is based on the identitiy with the City of Wakefield - my home!

Who's us? Severfield rowen??

Wakey to Cas - 'Could we use your stadium as an option?'



Does not sound like a confident statement from Wakey over there development. To get something built you have to be 100% commited. Lip service and other options detract from your chances IMO.



How realistic is wakeys new stadium at Stanley? Is it just a pr/licence game as other clubs fans suggest?



I for one hope it's the real deal and we achieve something but there are doubts.

Maybe they asked this after the thornes park debacle? and when Cas said no they chose Stanley?

Oh for goodness sake - I didn't put a timescale on it - it was part of the discussions leading us to this point - used to explain why we are NOT at this time looking at a joint venture with Cas.



Stanley is realistic. It is on available land, with available funding and the support of the local authority. We have to draw it; get planning; get the funding finalised (well on the way and we know it's available) and get it built.



THIS is what we have been working for. It is our one chance - possibly our only chance. Get behind it!

now we open up debate and the fact that fev always gets left out of the equation is yet another headache for all parties . do we invite them to join or stand back and see them build a stadium and then fall/rise the very bottom or top..

Thanks for clearing that up trb. Calm down a genuine misunderstanding.



I am well behind it as I was with thornes. I had numerous letters of support printed in we hence I worry now!

This is good news, particularly the funding. Its usually the funding that screws up the job but if we have it then we are well on our way.



Are we confident of the planning ? If we are and funding is available there is no reason that we cannot start building immediately on receipt of planning. If planning is applied for in September and has full support of the Council and its "fast tracked" we could have a consent by Spring/Summer 2010 and have a stadium ready to start Super League in 2012.

Most of wakey council are cas fans
