From the point of view of WMDC & Newmarket: There has been no change, nor will there be. WMDC are committed to the funding in the 106. The deals already been done, monies transferred, stakehold taken.
Although changes to the deal are not out of the question. If Cas aren't going to relocate then they have no use for the money they were offered, hence it should be centralized with the rest of the money going to new council facilities for the WHOLE OF THE DISTRICT.
In my eyes it was our money anyway.

It's been re-allocated alright and is more like an investment than a gift

| I can see the bitterness fron sections of both supporters coming back over stadium issues which was created in the first place by the rfl. Wakefield have had many years of trouble due to bad management but thank goodness stability at the top now so hopefully you can settle ,maybe NM. Cas have pumped a lot of money which into GH which maybe wasted.
The rfl owe respect to both clubs for the effort that both clubs have put in over the years. Both clubs can survive and move on especially if they work together at management level. Cas have some funds if they sell the ground and maybe could invest this if they moved into NM protecting both clubs.

| Over the years the stadium issue has detracted from my overall enjoyment of the game.
It has caused anxiety and undue pressure amongst fans and management alike.
I never quite understood how clubs were expected to come up with the millions necessary and at the same time run a professional outfit.
To me the important thing was always the activity on the field.
Having said that I cannot now wait to take my seat at the first match at Newmarket in The Neil Fox stand.

| I'm sure bigalf will spin this to much applause on the nutjob forum, but anyone who didn't see this coming doesn't know much about how these developments work; there were always going to be partners involved once the planning issue was resolved - it's how these mahoosive and very costly developments are delivered.
It'll be interesting to watch over the coming months - with serious private cash being injected and talk of WMDC switching their position from guaranteeing a loan to becoming a stakeholder, the whole thing should take on a bit of momentum; I can't wait to see the first pictures of Andrew Glover in front of a digger - hopefully one that's actually doing some digging.

OK, maybe too much Christmas frivolity.
