Would the club go to a community Stadium : Fri Jan 04, 2013 7:05 pm  

I wander if the Cas board have explored moving to NM and would it make sence.
Would the rent we pay be the same as Wakefields? If is is then sell WR and invest in the team! and reap the rewards from increased attendance on match days that a succesful team would bring.
A bold move but this would surely secure a SL future for the club.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this thread develops.
It would be a huge shift of direction.

Once the stadium starts, then the met might want Cas on board, but it need plans architects & a start date until that happens it's still only a peace of paper just like we have & until full funding is guaranteed it wont get started

No, it hasn't been explored and nor will the BoD explore it.

And no, it wouldn't make sense. I'd rather own my own stadium than be renting one.

A definate NO for me as most of you will allready know. At the recent Civic Centre meeting a quick show of hands revealed about 90% in favour of staying at Wheldon Road so the answer might be something similar - granted, the fans attending the meeting weren't casual fans - most were diehards.
Pesonally I would rather watch CT in a lower division than move away from the Castleford area I wouldn't be suprised if most were of a likewise feeling.
What I am certain of is A) a move to NM would result in our demise within 2 seasons and B) Wakey and their supporters are getting increasingly more desparate to get us on board. I wonder why ?

Why?
I don't see what the benefits are, I can accept that it gives you some clout with the bank if you need credit/overdrafts etc but little else.
Take your copper theft, that is going to be a cost to you if you rented it would be the landlords cost and up to them to sort out the replacement and future security of any replacement, just as a topical aside.
