You also wrote about pressing ahead which Is what I was referring to, an attempt IMO of you to gloss over the inevitable with yet more clutching of straws.
So I read your post clearly, it wasn't intended to be inflammatory, only my assessment of your consistent posting style.
I have long thought you would not get to GH there have been many signs along the way you have chosen to ignore or "fullyise " the content.
Now your new Chief Exec has added his doubt I thought you might have conceded defeat that you were fooled or foolish.
Clearly not!!!
I will maintain a struggling Cas is not in the best interest of Wakey and I would like to see us both pushing one another up the table and towards success.
But making stories isn't going to make everything alright; hard work and the folk of Cas putting their hands in their pockets might.

Well, no, because we can press ahead when we get some sort of decision to the supermarket.

If they come back and turn us down then we can look at redeveloping GH and firm up that plan, which is what is ongoing now with Steve Ferres developing a Plan B.

If they come back and it is feasible for us then planning permission will be submitted for the Wheldon Road site and we can start looking towards ensuring that gets given the green light.

So in either way, we will be pressing ahead with plans in one form or another. There was no attempt to make it out to be some sort of easy route and we'll be in a stadium by January 2014. There are always plenty of hurdles and that was my point going right back to point 1, which you and your fellow Wakefield fans decided to jump on and have a good whinge about.

SF hasn't 'doubted' anything. He has merely suggested that we have been wholly focussed on GH but no development of a Plan B, which is correct. His comments were pointing out that it is important to develop a plan B by way of redeveloping WR.

Re: Cas announce ground share!! : Sun Dec 09, 2012 7:38 pm  

So how would you fund the redevelopment of WR?

Re: Cas announce ground share!! : Sun Dec 09, 2012 7:41 pm  

How can Cas miss out if they decide to play at Newmarket, it would be there wright as you say if it gets built it has nothing to do with waky as it is a community stadium, so if it is being built for the community teams and then a team is refused permission to play there how dose that make it a place for all the community to use, so if football, RU, or all 3 pro & semi pro RL teams decide they want to use the place how can they be refused, if any team is refused its not a community stadium, so how can anybody say you might miss out, or is the community part just a roués to get it built with out the wildcats paying any bills

I believe you have already been asked if you would like to play there, the response wasnt yes as you WERE cracking on with GH. I seem to recall your former CEO made it quite clear.

Typical fullyism, you can't press on with anything.
You don't have the funds to press on with either project.
For GH you need a global shift in the state of the economy.
For WR you need to find the kind of money or backing that has been lacking in recent years.
I'm beginning to think that you and newgroundbeforecas are the same poster!!!!!

Re: Cas announce ground share!! : Sun Dec 09, 2012 8:38 pm  

the former CEO has gone but what has that got to do with the point, it said a COMMUNITY stadium, the word is there and it has a definition, it means anybody who lives in that community is entitled to use the facility not if other supporters think its OK, if you are paying for it then fare enough, if its being built for everybody it dose not mater what the OLD CEO says, but if you want the nice shinny tin all painted red white & blue then the club should pay for it building, but as waky don't like paying it will belong to every rate payer in the waky area, but if you would not like it if Cas or Fev wanted to play there just remove the word community and replace it with the Wakefield wildcats stadium and fut the bill

I dispair!!!!
What don't you understand about this, or would it be quicker to ask what do you understand?????
It's not ours, you are welcome to use it, your (ex) CEO just said you wouldn't, if you want to you still can, and if you want some orange and black seats that's ok.
We never said you couldn't only Richard Wright said it wouldn't happen!!!
FFS please pay attention!!

It's all a bloody joke now anyway.

People need to grow up.
