Do Cas even have full planning permission? If not I don't see why [isome [/ifans are taking the moral high ground with regards to the development of their stadium versus ours.

If it's for WYW it will have lots of footage of cheerleaders in it.

At this moment in time and looking purely at the stadium build situation and not franchising, I would rather be in our position of trying to get planning than trying to raise £15,000,000.

So Wakefield Tigers it is then.

Does Wakey playing in Wakey and not Barnsley (financial implications) have any bearing on the Franchise application?

Wakefield Trinity Tigers you mean

Wakefield Trinity RT

I'm not sure the Cas Stadium will cost that amount but who knows.



However:



[uIf[/u Yorkcourt get planning permission they may well re-assess their "commitment" to a New Stadium depending on the area of land available to develop, the state of the Industrial Real Estate market in a 18 months time,the state of the economy, and their ability to raise funds to let a contract to build a Stadium and construct the infrastructure required, before starting on any Industrial Units.



They may find themselves in the same situaution as Cas are supposed to be in now.

Council help to upgrade Post Office Rd to SL standard won't cost much as Rovers have already done a deal for two new stands. Just need the pitch moving and stands erecting. Wakefield play there temporarily and keep their SL licence and Rovers have a SL ground for their future aspirations. Everyone's a winner! Makes sense.

Considering they said they wont give ANY direct funding to teams regarding stadia, I doubt that.
