Don't you just love c@s fans who think they know everything but actually know jack.





Delusion over reality, don't you just love it.








Never mind, just thought I would try to enlighten the unenlightened! we shall see

A) You don't know me
B) You don't know what I know or who I know for that matter.
C) You claim delusion but yet you've not posted any facts other than that you work for Tesco. You could be a check-out operator for all I know.
D) Why shall we see? Surely if Tesco HAVE pulled out, there would be nothing to see?
E) You've not enlightened us on anything except you work for Tesco.
F) A quick look through your post history would suggest you're a Featherstone fan, perhaps one who hates Cas anyway. I would therefore suggest that your comments do nothing but try to raise a few bites, with no real substance. It is the off-season after all.

Only posted for info, but seeing as you have taken the typical c@s fan stance (confrontational)....

A) You don't know me
B) Correct
C) Yes , I work for Tesco, part of the SMT if you need to know.
D) Other sites are more suitable at a lot less cost.
E) See D , so yes, something to wait and see!
F) Yes, I am Fev fan but also a rugby fan who prefers to see rugby played in Fev, Cas, Wakey et al as opposed the the crazy 'expansion' areas like Toulouse and Crusaders, so you may see my comments were not meant in any malice, just what I had heard.

Btw, I live in C@s and a lot of my friends are C@s fans. I have had a similar conversation with them and they didn't meet my comments with the hostility / confrontation that you have.

I attend C@s matches with them when Fev are not playing and they attend Fev matches when C@s are not playing. Piece and love n all that, its the rugby we watch and wear our colours either way!!!!

If my capper mates are anything to go by there is no other kind....but I prefer that to the indifference they feel towards Wakey:wink:

The only way the general public will know how Tesco side in the short to medium term is:

a) In a press release from Castleford, presumably Mr Wright telling the fans that alternative arrangements have to be found, or even better have already been found, because Opus have been unable to secure a client (for the Wheldon Road site).

b) Opus & Tescos submit an application for another site, this you would imagine would prompt option a,

As Fully said, in terms of proof Tesco have overlooked Wheldon Road there won't be any, in the short to medium term anyway. Can you imagine the damage releasing a press statement letting the public know the Wheldon Road deal with Opus was dead in the water?

For the reason of lack of proof/evidence I would take more notice to what people such as Inflatable Armadillo say. He has no battle to fight with you & is privy to information not available to most. If things are the way he tells it I would imagine your hierachy will be working flat out to find another client, or even another potential developer if Opus are more concerned with Tesco, which in it's self is hardly unsurprising.

Things aren't as doom & gloom as some Wakefield fans would have you believe, you hold a decent hand in terms of owning your ground & having a decent amount of land to go with it. That will see you through to your goal in the end, it's just about timing & that's down to the pressure the RFL place on development.

Personally I'm more concerned with what we're doing 2 junctions down the motorway, but good luck in your ventures with the move.

After reading Thursdays Cas n Ponti it seems clear to me that Tescos are not involved with the Opus/WR project. The question is who is, if anyone?

It seems convenient that the planning application is due to go in after the announcement on the Newmarket PI results is known. Come to think of if, over the last few years a lot of Glasshoughton related events seem to coincide with what ever is happening at Newmarket. Call me a cynic but I can’t help but think the events are related!

tbh, the word that enters my mind when I read one of you posts on this board is more nordic in origin.

Then you would also be wrong. The end date has nothing to do with Newmarket (as much as you seem to think it always is).

Indeed.

And the fact that instead of writing Cas (bar the one time) he always changes it to 'C@s'; I know it technically isn't derogatory but it's almost as bad as the Fev fans who write 'C*s'. Bitter lot down t'road.

Why would Opus submit an application for another site having already spent money on WR in terms of various plans and surveys etc?

RW wouldn't be saying anything regarding this. All the press releases come from Opus and there ARE, despite what people think, other supermarkets also wanting to pursue WR. This alone is just one of the many reasons why Tesco will not give up the site as much as I_A and other Wakey fans 'claim' to think. I_A does work in the industry but his comments seem very much on conjecture and rumour. He has no battle to grind with Cas but seems only to post negative information on here and doesn't seem, from a Cas perspective at least, wholly supportive of any plans for Cas as much as he says differently. That is not necessarily my view but that is why some people take offence to him.

And your final comments re: WR and the stadium is correct; there is absolutely no way that GH will not be built - we have full PP and we just need to sell our major asset to ensure that is the case. I have absolutely no worries, however, that Opus (and Tesco) will not see this to the very end.

So pretty much none of us know anything?

I'm all for people posting opinions or rumours they've heard or even a snippet that they actually know but lets not get too heated over what is happening at WR yet. I'm sure Tesco don't even know yet so even a member of the SMT is unlikely to be able to update us.
Give the likes of RW and his team time to try and either convince Tesco or find someone else. It might turn out for the better.
As someone posted above, Cas are in a pretty good position that they own the ground. Better than many I have to say.
Hope good news comes soon.

The only people who will know are Opus and the higher-ups in Tesco, whilst I'm sure Cas will be kept in the loop when there is news to tell (not forgetting and Legal advisors).

Anyone else not involved in the process will have very limited knowledge and can only go off rumour, hear-say or conjecture as I stated. I'm by no means saying that I am right but I very much doubt that Tesco have pulled out. I actually searched through Tesco's website last night looking for the comments of what I_A was referring to them over-spending. However, at no stage through their Chief Exec's, Chairman's or Financial performance from last season (and notes with the accounts) was this mentioned. If I_A could point me to this, it would be appreciated.
