They reduced the seating capacity required from 2,000 [ which Leigh spent thousands of pounds complying with ] to 1,500 , which is the exact number Wheldon road has , it was just a coincidence of course that it changed the year you got promoted back into SL :lol:

Look Minty started all this , the bottom line is , you're next in line for the drop , but you will survive , for another 3 years , or until you build Glasshoughton


You could have just said no.

Well considering there's 1700 (and odd) seats you're wrong, again.

And evidence? Oh you have none, you're being a conspiracy theorist.

If you actually compare each stand at The Willows and Wheldon Road you will see The Willows is clearly better. And for the record I love Wheldon Road and hope Castleford stay in Super League.

Been told to put better bulbs in the floodlights is hardly changing the rules now is it?

As for the Willows being better than Wheldon Road, come off it! Other than Belle Vue the Willows has to be the worst ground in the league.

And unless I'm mistaken you're not allowed to build stadia without planning permission....

But, facts don't exactly suit your clear anti-Cas bias now does it?

As for Halifax they'll miss out again in July because matched up with SL clubs they wont beat out anyone but Wakey, and Widnes will be replacing them.


Yep, you can get relegated and complain about it and get reinstated when you're in the Championship :wink:



:lol: you biased git, wheldon jungle rd or what ever it is now is awful!. 3 little tin roofs over tiny terracing and a main stand more suited the 1950s makes it better than our ground?, the willows might be old but its looked after and has miles better facilities than your dump.

Out of interest what did castleford do you to upset you so much? you've had a be in your bonnet about us for a few years.



At the risk of indulging is solipsism, I'm not sure whether there's anything about the club that upsets him, beyond the fact that it's supported by me.

Such high class facilities as terracing that doesn't go up in even increments, a little dark alleyway under a tiny seated stand and the smallest side stand you'll see outside of Belle Vue where all your fans stand...yep high quality facilities there :shock: In no way can you really say the Willows is a better ground than Wheldon Road, the only stand I'd even say is better is the big stand you have behind the posts to the right of where the Salford fans stand.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Nothing including you ' upsets ' me about Castleford , I have thouroughly enjoyed my visits to Wheldon road , despite losing on every occaision , but it still doesn't change what happened , deny it all you want , as for Glasshoughton , believe me salford have suffered much worse than you about their stadium , you can check out their stadium thread if you like , the one with actual pictures of it being actually built

Not just ' plans ' :wink:
