The WMDC can't give funds to a private venture that's not happening but they can to a community project which is happening. The Wakefield & District community Stadium sports facilities for all .

Do we know that the NM funding isn't affected?

It's written into the 106 & WMDC are partners in the stadium development, so I'd imagine they're still on board.





We could do with a piece of good news asap

Bad news for cas but lets not fool ourselves. The Tory led governments spending cuts have year on year slashed local authority budgets and this will continue into the next parliament. Priorities change and unfortunately I guess that funding sporting clubs and stadiums community or not will become much lower priorities than protecting the most vulnerable etc. just look at Sheffield they are looking to knock down the don valley stadium. Like I said bad news for cas but I'm not optimistic that things will turn out much differently for us.

maybe Cas could move into the Don Valley Stadium

kill two birds with one stone

I'm not sure that this is news. Cas have basically given up on Glasshoughton so this is just a bit of tidying up admin by WMDC, and hardly front page news.

Looking into taking some of it, probably need to find some grants etc for that though.

If Jack Fulton looks at what fev are doing and is prepared to put his hand in his pocket again he may well have a route by which to upgrade Wheldon Rd and save Castleford.

I agree its a front page none story by the CPE.

Try explaining that to some on CasForum. This is apparently the culmination of a long term plan to lead them down the garden path, long enough for newmarket to navigate its hurdles and then for WMDC to pull the rug and force a ground share.



The persecution complex some of their fans have is unbelievable.

Only person who led them up the garden path was Tricky, it's not gonna happen now so rightly wmdc have drawn a line in the sand.

A conspiracy against Cas led by the leader of wmdc? A Cas season ticket holder - what a laugh!!!

Some people need saving from themselves!!!

The Cas deal is off the table - for now - but can be reinstated if / when there is a viable proposition in place.



No change at Wakey for now!
