The stadium is intended to have a capacity of 13,300 spectators, it will replace Wheldon Road which has been home to Castleford Tigers since 1926.

The new stadium had been designed by Leeds- and London-based architect practice 'Ramsden and Partners'.

[3] Unfortunately no money could be found to fund the project and it was abandoned although Castleford still expressed their desire to move to a new stadium.

In 2015 it was announced that there would be a stadium built at Glasshoughton as part of a new retail park called the Five Towns Park which would be on the same site as the stadium with work expected to start early 2016 and with a view of Castleford Tigers moving in by the 2019 season.

Due to various financial hurdles Castleford have begun looking into redeveloping their current ground after the council announced it would give grants to the three clubs that fall under its governance.
