Castleford Tigers reveals new stadium plans
Super League rugby club Castleford Tigers has revealed detailed plans for a new 10,000-capacity community stadium in the town.
To be located close to the Junction 32 of the M62 motorway, the stadium will form part of a £135m mixed development project proposed by London-based developers Lateral Property Group (LPG). The stadium would also be funded in its entirety by the retail development.
Designed to meet Super League requirements, the stadium will provide administration, changing facilities, restaurants and hospitality areas, with a mixture of both seating and standing terraces.
LPG has entered into talks with Wakefield Council over the Junction 32 plans, which also include a major retail development, a new 50-acre county park and a number of leisure spaces.
Philip Lunn, Managing Director of Lateral Property Group said: "This is a major scheme for the area on a site which has impressive transport links.
"In addition to delivering this new stadium for Castleford Tigers, the enabling retail development could bring a massive boost to the local economy."
LPG has appointed Leeds-based GMI Construction as the principal contractor for the scheme, subject to planning approval.
It is anticipated that construction will begin in 2015 and the new stadium would be ready for the 2017 season with the retail opening later that year.
