My understanding is that an announcement that will leave people in no doubt at all about the stadiums reality is very imminent.

It's been a long long battle, but the future is very bright.

I went to the Jungle/Whealdon Road twice last year to watch Warrington and thought the ground was quite ugly but the view and atmosphere was brilliant, shame about the team performances.

I think you should keep the stadium, what do you lot think

I can't think of a quicker way to lose a franchise.

What if Wakefield Council hav'nt given Trinity any money at all!

If Wakefield Trinity fund and build their own stadium without any finances from Wakefield Metropolitan District Council then Castleford and Featherstone for that matter will be expected to do the same.
The danger to Castleford is that a precedent has then been set!

Wakefield Council will have cemented their position on the issue of financing for any of the three clubs with whatever agreement they may have reached with Wakefield Trinity.

If they have contributed financially to Trinity's new stadium then, in my opinion, they should be obligated to invest the same in both Castleford's and Featherstone's.

If they have not contributed financially to Trinity's new stadium they are equally obligated not to contribute to Castleford or Featherstone.

So whatever this significant announcement is regarding Wakefield Trinity's stadium then it could either be very good news for the Tigers or more worryingly it could be devastating!

The council were never going to finance the stadium they were providing money for a sports complex in the stadium for the public to use as there is nothing in the cas ponte normy area , Wakefield is already served by thornes park

What a load of nonsense. Where is there any public use in Cas stadium and more to the point where is there a stadium in Thornes park.

As I have been saying for yonks and Clan has just eluded to is that whatever Wakey get determines what Cas will get. It's politically impossible for both not to be totally connected whilst ever the Council is involved. As far as I'm aware the Cas development cannot go ahead without some Council support, if it could it would be built by now.

Especially as the plans and site have been available for years and planning permission was granted some time a go. There can only be one reason for the delay and that is a funding gap. The only people able to bridge that gap are WMDC. As soon as many of the posters on here swallow there pride and admit this the quicker we can all move on.

You will all see in the near future, im not worried and i hope Wakefield get a stadium too.

And the hold up is partly because Wakefeild Council aredeciding whether to house a swimming pool and indoor facilities at the new Cas ground. They will not be funding anything to do with the stadium just the council owned property within ie; pool and sports hall.
