Whether you have the best or the worst ground in SL is irellevent to Wakey, what does matter though is that we both get a new ground, in spite of the local rivalry which really is no different to anywhere else Wakey and Cas need each other for the financial support given from both sets of fans. As boring as it might be I would sooner have Cas at home an extra 4 times than Cats, CC, Quins and Salford if only for the revenue, and I am sure its the same with Cas.

Not really - we sometimes beat those other teams at home!

Fwiw I asked Fully if the funding was in place not about Cas's financial state of affairs which like Wakey's is well documented and has no particular interest to me neither is it any of my business hth, but dont let that get in the way of you causing more trouble than you are actually worth and derailing another thread.

So Cas's financial situation has no bearing on if they can go ahead with a ground the funding and Castlefords financial state of affairs are all intertwined, lets face it would we look at going ahead with a plan of this magnitude if we were 3 million pounds in debt........ your not a city banker are you , but as for your sincere words wanting our Stadium to be completed thank you. cant wait to hear about your update, wont be long now

Speaking as an outsider two new stadiums in one conurbation seems unlikely. I doubt it would or should happen.
Why is ground sharing out of the question ?
Times have moved on and surely this is the best way forward for all concerned ?

It would only seem less likely if we were relying on council funding, but neither stadium is.

Ground sharing is out of the question as it would kill at least one of the clubs and damage the sport forever, which understandably we dont want to happen.

To answer your question for the 17,000th time, it's about location. Cas fans don't want a stadium outside of Castleford and Wakefield fans don't want a stadium that's in Castleford, despite it still officially being part of the Wakefield District.

I dont really want to get involved in something I know little about, only whats posted on here. Pardon my ignorance but isnt the club putting up WE as collateral against the new ground if and when it gets sold. As for the funding and your finances being intertwined I would expect even you to know that. As for our update I can promise you that you will hear about it from one or two people

Can we just block the board on that day? The amount of crap we'll get from Sandal Wild Cat, Jinjer and the rest of the unfathomably anti-Cas brigade as they explode with excitement will put off those of us who actually want Wakey to get their ground from feeling happy for the mature Wakey fans and the Wakefield club in general

Re: New Stadium - Tiger TV update : Tue Dec 15, 2009 5:54 pm  

What I find funny now is how much time Sandal Wild Cat has been coming on here spouting off about full planning permission and TRB has just posted saying that they'll be submitting for outline planning permission initially. Now even we know how long that takes to come back from Wakey Council, I can't see them being in a position to apply for full planning permission until March/April next year - same time as us.
