Whoa binks, hang on, don't put words in my mouth, I think there is every point in securing planning permission but I was just commenting that it would no longer appear to be holding anything up. So if the planning committee did feel it was necessary to defer the the decision (which is the worst I can see happening) to the next committee meeting if they felt the parking issue was unresolved, that is no big deal.

As regards GH - if PP is not obtainable building is impossible..ever, if funding is not currently available building may become possible later. We don't want to be submitting a license bid without both.

Sort of see that but stand by its old news being regenerated.

You are correct that in January we were told the date of 7th April, but at the "Meet the Directors Night" we were informed that it would be late April ( meeting date 28th) when the plans would go to the Committee.

Now we are confirmed back to the 7th which seems to indicate any concerns have been addressed and the desicion should be a formality.

After the RFL's performance over the last month or so the stadium doesn't need to happen.

As long as we keep our heads above water we should be OK staying at WR comparing with the RFL's latest agenda's. It wouldn't bother me if we stayed at WR and I still have concerns that - if we did move to GH - it could be finacial suicide for us (ala Salford). I'm still not convinced Wakey moving to NM will be financally successful either.

Why does anybody come on a forum and make a random statement before 7am???
However I to think the RFL have really damaged our sport and damaged some clubs having them chasing a dream. Cas have spent good money on the stadium dream whereas some clubs have not spent a penny on the stadium dream and just sat back being able to concentrate on the playing front.
This proves that SL clubs do not operate on a level playing field.

Spot on! But the RFL are now stood in a hole that they created!

If they turn round and say blah blah blah circumstances have changed so there is no need for new stadiums etc. Some clubs (St's, Salford, Halifax etc) would have every right to kick off having now put money into them. Perhaps even Cas and Wakey would have good grounds to say the the RFL...we said that all along, however you've had us spend thousands on development plans for a new stadium...and now you're telling us that we won't need one. Well thanks for wasting money that we could really have done without spending.......

I guess there would be peoples blood boiling from what ever comes of it.

Re: Stadium Development Thread : Thu Aug 09, 2012 12:17 pm  

Anyone who thinks we dont need a new stadium or major overhaul of Wheldon road is living in cloud cuckoo land, maybe not for a SL license but just in general.

Princess street amenities are awful, Wheldon Road end has no Toilets at all Main stand ( Inc changing facilities training rooms ) needs to be replaced with new all seater full length of ground stand, Railway End needs moving back to accommodate a full length pitch and basically needs a new stand with amenities. Add in to this we need real corporate facilities/ boxes seats restaurant.

That would just bring us into line with Blue square football grounds and Halifax, Leigh, Rochdale, York (soon) RL grounds.

This is what the paying customers deserve not just what the RFL require

But it wont happen in my lifetime and nor will me buying a season ticket to watch the dross we have served up recently, yes I am a fan and yes I will still go to games but I am now one of the fans that needs to be won back. I am sick of wasting time/money when the club don't give a s**t

Rant over
