If James Elston had been asked and then written to a group objecting to WR, maybe Edinburgh House, saying that Castleford could ground share at Newmarket, intimating that there is no need to build a supermarket on the WR site.

I'd be awful if such a thing came about now wouldn't it????

In recent months I feel I've let myself down; I'd become somewhat liberal with the idea of the WMDC & had even been dubbed part of the "love in".... Well no more! I want them out of my district!! Devolution for one of the 5 towns. Let them stand on their own. The town is dead, all they have is J32, which IMO is looking more shabby (& I've always maintained TACKY). Let them live on the sweat of their own brow for once rather than being subbed by the city neighbors.

I hope this has annoyed senior WMDC staff too, the same objectors make claims of nothing short of council corruption & I hope they remember where RW stands in relation to all this when viewed within the context of all the back-bending WMDC have done for them. RW needs to remember he has to work with Box et al & they in essence hold the keys to his future (and that of WR)- why would you want to rub these people up the wrong way?? Desperation- As Meatloaf once said "It leaves a stain on all your clothes & no detergent get's it out!"- I guess that stains Amber!

But we just keep highlighting the point that we would not take part into the council feasability study. We are now telling everyone that fact, that is my point. Other clubs fans, the media and maybe those at the council will draw the conclusion that we were running scared and they were not.

How so, we choose against the study because we decided to go it alone and concentrate on our own development. The only side that was going to gain from it was Cas and that was patently clear and a part from that the study would have been of great cost to the tax payer.
They thought because they already had full planning permission and NM was on part Green belt they would be a shoe in, that's why the were up for it, they needed us more than we needed them. Both clubs know deep down that a ground share would more than likely lead to the dreaded M word and no one wants that.

What annoys me about you Alf is you have a brain cell, but clearly choose not to engage it. You know full well what an emotive topic this is an choose to have a laugh with it. Others I won't name speak without knowledge of the case or legislation, you on the other hand have a grasp of both, yet choose to bend both to match what little (& shrinking) case you have. Guess that comes from the colour of shirt you wear. Jokes obviously... cough

Well i have just read his response. He has not slagged us of at all nor has he objected to NM.

He confrimed that they would take part in a council led feasability study and we wouldn't. He also says that Wakey can play at J32 if needed.

All we are doing is creating more publicity that we were not confident enough to up against Glasshoughton.

This may not be popular to some, but what he has sais has been said before. We have said we would welcome the Tigers to play at NM. And we did refuse to take part in the feasability study.

We should spend our time supporting our plans, in stead of going over the top like some have on here.

The thing about the so called feasibility study is the fact it wasn’t feasible. The parameters were complete bias! The study was to look into which ground would be built quickest. It said nothing about what would be the best location to benefit both clubs as a business. More importantly it had no reference at all to funding of the project! Imagine if we had agreed and the study decided on Glasshoughton, what would have happened? Newmarket would have been shelved and still no funding would have been available for Glasshoughton.

This is basically one last desperate act form unpopular guy trying to tap into some anti Wakefield sentiment and win some favour with his ever growing band of critics in Cas.

Re: Public Inquiry : Tue Dec 06, 2011 10:58 pm  

Unfortunately Youngcat has a point in there somewhere. I'm as up in arms as anyone, and I may even have just fallen out with my best mate who just happens to be a Cas fan but ultimately we have to let this issue go.
Let's be upset tonight but concentrate on showing how good our case is tomorrow.

Our case is good and being so upset about RW comments could be seen by some that we are worried. We shouldn't be. The mood was positive this morning. Let's go back to that, and once we've got this moving again we can give all the stick we want to Wright. He's picked his side, let's not argue with him, let's just make sure he is on the losing side.

It's like when a team not as good as yours tries to pick a fight to stop you playing your better game. Win the game first, then smack them around when they are knackered!

Re: Public Inquiry : Tue Dec 06, 2011 11:15 pm  

We've put Dicky on the losing side enough over the past decade.
I'm all for cracking out the woad and going pre-roman on his ass!

If he wants a battle, let's give him a battle!

FWIW I think WR's comments could come back & haunt him in a number of ways.
1. WTW are going to have a "frosty" relationship with him/CT, not good to have with your biggest crowd puller....

2. He's shown his true colours to all the RL family. Who will want to do business with someone obviously that low/desperate/underhanded.

3. If wind blows against him he's effectively signed his own warrant. Before this he MAY have been able to survive taking CT to NM- "The economy...boo hoo... The WMDC... boo hoo... The chemical licence... Boo hoo.. Ben Bailey... Opus/Tesco (watch this space).... Boo hoo.. But I kept us in SL by bring us to NM!!!"
Now for me he's screwed should it come to this.

Should it ever come to #3 I'm sure he'll have many a (red, white & blue) man happy to help him pack before his "midnight flit", just before the mass of track suits and pitchforks at his door!

Oh my, i see you are on the general attack again. As you choose to post on our board on a regular basis i thought i would join you where you are most likely welcome and help you out again.
At least in another of your above posts you choose to single out Richard to vent your frustration where it is better directed - the route cause of your dismay. However i note you still struggle to resist the chance to elaborate further and decide to attack Castleford's fans/general public or town in your usual ways as you throw the teddy out after hearing or reading some thing that upset you -bless (stick to your battles with Neverdid, they are the ones you nearly win before showing yourself up in the process).
1) Regardless of Richards reply to we will both still remain one of each others biggest crowd pullers (maybe with a little extra spice after the passion this issue has created) lets be honest the clubs dont exactly have a loving relationship prior to this episode do we, both Wright and Glover have made derogatory comments about each other before franchise decisions to aid each others cause.
2) Rival clubs fall out on many occasions, all part of looking after your own business interests (Bradford/Leeds over Harris just as an example) life goes on we will both upset each other further in future.
3) If this means we would be unwelcome at NM if GH falls through, it would be my preference, i will still be proud to follow Cas in the National leagues as i have previously and im sure Richard would be long gone before he needed help packing, many Cas fans may feel different, many the same (just as if the boot was on the other foot).
I dont own a track suit or a pitchfork however but i get a feeling if i had the need i would know where to come to find one

For the record before i have to reply to a barrage of nonsense - i will await an official statement from one or both of the clubs regarding this issue/letter before making a better informed personal opinion, thus far it seems a question was asked and an answer was given - one that made no direct comment on NM just facts that are already open in the public domain - tbc.
Either way i bid you all well in your quest for your new home - i understand why you would be defensive when some thing in appearance goes against what you are trying to achieve, i also truly believe this issue would be/is already on an objectors agenda and will have no lesser or greater impact than it would have if Richards reply was - no comment (if anything it may only reflect on him in a negative way) !

Regards.

That's the point though isn't it, what he's put in his letter is out there in the pubic domain anyway and when one of the objectors groups comes a calling, as a leader of a local rival club, you'd think to yourself, no this is not for me to get involved in, particularly for this side. He's a intelligent enough man to know exactly the response it was going to get but yet chose to do it.

Anyway another day of questions and answers down at the PI, lets hope we can have another positive day.
