And add to that the anti brigade you would have thought they'd have had a field day with it.

You certainly would.
Yorkcourt have pulled a blinder and I cannot believe they have got away with it. The anti stadium brigade are now worse off IMO. The local nimby's who didn't want the development in the first place have now ended up with what can only be described as a monstrosity (the Newcold building).
Everyone loses - WTW fans, fans of visiting clubs, local residents and even the ones who would have used the proposed sports facilities.
As the saying goes - be careful what you wish for.

It doesn't need highlighting. We the fans and the staff from top to bottom of cas tigers know how important a new stadium is. BUT, no matter how many times it gets highlighted, no matter how many petitions we send in. All the 100's of emails and letter sent, after 10yrs of all the above, we are still in the same place. All we seem to get is words and no action. So another date pops up 6th feb, most get excited and think, this could be it.....our new stadium on the horizon. Only to be disappointed by, unfortunately plans have been put back another 6 months due to blah blah blah, put in your own excuses. Sorry for the rant but that's just me being an old cynic.

I'm not really up to speed on this project. Can somone please explain, is the planning similar to Newmarket? Is it on Green Belt and is it likely to get called to Public Inquiry?

The site is on green belt and yes - it will probably get called to PI IMO.

So going on recent protocol the follwing must happen...

I'll set up a faux Environmental group to express outrage at the loss of greenbelt and its long term impact on childhood asthma. Create a template letter of protest for thousands of fellow Wakey fans concerned citizens to send to the appropriate authority. Come public inquiry my fellow concerned citizens can make an emotional plea about the Children......What about the children I say? In the mean time I'll try and persuade Mr Carter to send a strongly worded letter to the PI that a community stadium isn't required in such a location because a viable alternative (and truly community inclusive) is been built anyday at Newmarket, i don't see anything unethical in that? If fat Eric is chairing it maybe just maybe he won't be fooled a second time.

Well the jokes on you because what deehell has quoted is a parody of what Richard Wright sent into the Secretary of States Officer during the Public Inquiry into Newmarket.

He was trying to say exactly the opposite of what deehell has said ie. That there was no need for Newmarket because there was a viable alternative at Glasshoughton.

Well I never. I thought he was just making it up.
