I hope the article is as good as the headline and not just another "we are committed" line from the club.
Some actual news would be very much apreciated.

I agree with you, some positive news on the stadium would be good with all the bad news of late.

Rather disturbingly the only word to enter my head on seeing this information was "Yawn"

Re: Stadium : Thu Mar 15, 2012 9:16 am  

Well.....

A misleading front page headline, and the rest of the story "continues on page 2" telling us pretty much nothing (well nothing we didn't already know).

Obviously nothing much has happened news wise in Pontefract or Cas this week!

Where I used to work when I used to have the P and C on my desk the paper got the pseudonym "dog farts in Featherstone" cos there is always very little happening.

Funnily enough I was going to write exactly that word 'till I read your post mate. It's time for actions not empty words!

On the day when Cas's major development will once again get planning approval, we can't be seen to say nothing and our very own Richard "King of Spin" Wright must be heard to be shouting that all is well down the lane. A suitable headline with no meat content ticks the box nicely.

EH planning app unanimously approved by councillors. Officers say approval will not "act as a block" to other schemes.

This is written on the other fourm, dont know how true it is.......

Once again, the RFL are blazing a trail in helping member clubs and following their move with the purchase of Odsal Stadium, the governing body are to advance Castleford Tigers £15m against Wheldon Road, which will allow the club to move forward immediately with the new stadium development.

The RFL HQ at Redhall is to be sold and Wheldon Road site will be developed by the RFL to house a new purpose built RFL HQ, this will include much needed training, medical and rehabilitation facilities for the elite of the game, facilities such an IT and other skills training centre, this will help the transition players have to make to integrate into a regular 9 - 5 working environment when they retire from the game.

The RFL see the purpose built development as an investment into the heartland of the game, as well as providing much needed facilities for the welfare of the lifeblood of the game, our players.
