Thread about it on casforum too, surely it's a no brainer for the club to take a stand like Fev did for WR?

There's numerous ways to pay for it highlighted on there including fan donations, the buy a brick money if buyers give permission and council funding which they have a commitment to give for facilities to aid the local community.

Try and keep this thread for further ideas on how this scheme could work and Wakey trolls try and stay out of this one, please.

You see, what we need is a dynamic BOD led by a dynamic CEO who would jump on this idea and move things forward even if it turned out to be a non starter.

Ohhh errr??

Luckily Ben Parker is already on the case but it probably isn't going to get any further, hopefully they realise it will bring money to the club in the long run.

First off I have to say its a damn shame and a disgerace that a recognised National stadium in Yorkshire is facing the Bulldozers. However its a dog eat dog world and Sheffields loss could be our gain

I agree 100% Gronk! there must be someway we can look at getting the Stand (or part of it) on the cheap , I would gladly give my BUY a Brick money to the project as the club could still have a wall inside the stand with the dedications etc on as Sunderland AFC did when the stadium of light was built.

somebody wants to be getting in touch with people at william hills and corals, they take plenty off the good castleford folk, so lets have something back from em, ideally from don valley and then it could be a william hill stand and a coral stand, job done. onwards and upwards.

With a nice big sign on the roof with their name on it so it can be seen every Sky game/highlights!

Yes the board should look into this, but imagine our board making a mess in pitching for it.

Colour scheme fits in perfectly too. Gets my vote (and brick money).

This should be the number one focus of the back team staff... well, the ones we have left. Not only is it a big ole stand, but it loads of space within it too which is currently office space but presumably could be made into a bar, a shop or even some toilets that don't look like they're out the third world. I think it has corporate boxes too.
