E: Your militant posting style which oft mentions 'your' Labour Party is the best advert those wishing to recruit for the Conservatives in West Cumbria could possibly wish for.

If whitehaven can't stage any world cup games then workington will lose out hosting world teams.
you should think before you type E

This is so typical of Whitehaven.

I think it's just plain greedy on the Miners social welfare, to say at this late stage that they want £750,000
They should just try and look for another access route.

shame on whoever is trying to cash in on what could be a great event in whitehaven, people are to bring the town into the future and some greedy people are trying to cash in!!!

i would save your money!! ya footy team is Cumberland league 1 at best and ya rugby team wil be in same league as Wath Brow soon haha... i would invest in getting some shops and pubs in your derelict town lol...

OK, so the partners walk away, find an alternative access, town loses hosting two minor prelim world cup games, build the stadium a year later and deny miners any benefit whatsoever. So what's the big fuss? Full time and final score:
Community Partners 1 : Greedy Miners 0

W Boston has got the scenario right. The council have not done any of the necessary feasibility studies, land acquisition or risk assessments studies correctly. It is now looking for a way out and is trying to offload the blame on to the Miners Welfare Organisation.

Lets stop drinking in the Miners and parking on their car park on Whitehaven rl match days, greedy people who can't see further than their nose really annoy me !

I would urge the council to do a compulsory purchase order immediately on this land,in the interest of the development of the project,this is appalingly greedy considering the miners have gained financially from use of their club solely because of fans at the rec,get their rates put up.
