No they couldn't. HTH.

Exactly how many youngsters/halifax youth system players are there currently playing in SL or for there country. and when i mean Halifax youngsters i mean actually came through the local amateur teams into the 18's and 20's and then went onto appear for their hometown team and then moved onto other super league teams?

Your statement on youngsters and development seems to indicate that you have done so in the past (have a history) but will only be able to do so in the future if you are in SL. What about the clubs current contrubution to developing young players.Surely being out of SL and having a lower salary cap would mean that greater attention should be paid or placed on bringing youth into the current team ala Shenton & westerman who came through the ranks at cas in the lower leagues rather than having to rely on players falling out of SL. From what i ca see Halifax have yet to tick the box for youth development.

Like i said why replace a club who produce more quality youngsters than any other SL team than maybe Leeds & saint, with a club who have a lovely stadium.

If Mr Glover could put down 50% of the funding for J32 would you be so quick to turn him down?

Half red, white and blue & half black and amber- for the short term.

When NM comes through the red tape, is approved and built (maybe as late as 2015) WTW move out & CT repay the initial 50% & thus then own J32 in full with WTW playing from NM.

A sensible and realistic way forward for all?

Ah, fantastic. We didn't realise Mr Glover had £7.5million in his back pocket. Surely if he did have, he'd mortgage it into a stadium for the Wildcats instead in the first place??

I wouldn't dismiss that. I'm not sure it would happen though. Does Glover have that money, how long would they pay back go on till, would glover trust us (not sure i would), would NM pass.

A nice idea in theory, but in practice, i really dont see it

Re: Wakey and the 'Sharing' option : Sat Mar 19, 2011 5:13 pm  

They will be no ground share at Glasshoughton simply because no stadium will be built at Glasshoughton. The reason.....Money!

For all Dickies latest ramblings the fact is that Castleford Tigers have shown no compromise what so ever. A ground share in a neutral location like Newmarket would be the only way forward as compromise. Trouble is with Dickie is he wants his cake and eat it! Something that won't of gone a miss at RFL headquarters.

After last years warning letters the RFL have to show they mean business. How would it look when clubs like Halifax and Leigh have worked there butts off to get facilities up to SL standard and get denied when clubs like Cas have done nothing but break promises? Like I've already said this will happen just watch this space.

Personally I think the whole process ridiculous, been a tradionalist I believe the game should be decided on the pitch not behind closed doors. Unfortunatly our Mug chairman's voted for this selfish system of ring fencing ourselves and now its going to be both clubs downfall. Like I said earlier, enjoying it while the sun shines!

Translated...Glasshoughton is still after 5 years, work in progress and is likely to still be in 5 years time due to a lack of funding!

Does AG have that sort of money? In a word, yes.
I think some in the RL world haven't yet realised how wealthy he is.

Could he raise that money without dipping into his own pocket through his substantial business portfolio, almost certainly.

AG is a very successful businessman & IMO could be a potential solution to the problem.

Have I lost hope in NM? Far from it. I am more sure than ever that NM will be developed due to the LDF dates.
NM represents more than Pro RL & will be the crowning piece of sporting heritage for years to come- & I'm sure CT will make use of the amazing training facilities. But in all honesty isn't feasible due to red tape when WT need it most, now.

J32 maybe feasible but as we all know lacks funding. AG could be the solution to the short term problem we face a region. With the end game being 2 state of the art stadiums and world class training and development facilities for the use of all 3 teams in the vicinity.

If properly done (with taste and caution) we could make a solution to enable both clubs to go forward- regardless of how SL rules in July.

Utopian and idealistic maybe, but feasible.... IMO YES.

deeHell: Why ruin another stadium thread?

Our time for back biting is done, save it for the field.

Off the field we need to work together.
