Personally I think there is no way 2 clubs can expect to play in SL in the same stadia , the RFL would instantly be wanting one club to become a feeder for the other

I still do not see this 'untapped' potential in Barnsley. It's football first, cricket second and everything else is irrelevant. Unless 'Barnsley' is in the name, why would the most parochial people on earth watch Wakefield?

I remember an article in a programme from 15-20 years ago where a club director wrote how Belle Vue needed massive improvements or a whole new ground built. We knew then, we know now. You can guess which director that was.

All in all, you can never trust the Tories. I'll stop myself going further with what I'd do to his next curry!

It wrankled that that fat mess of a man was in control of our destiny and now he's shafted us his huge slug of a frame seems even larger

2 choices - agree to share at Glasshoughton and give Castleford the franchise on a plate leaving us in NL or gamble on Newmarket which could of come off or leave us in NL. Easy choice to me.

I'm waiting for the official announcement that you have secured all the funding (I guess around £14m) to build Glasshoughton and not just land on which you can borrow £2m against to enable you to submit a detailed planning application.

We are in the clag but I'm not sure you are home and dry yet. It may be over for us but I hope for you're sake your not being led down the garden path also.

I don't think we have the funding to build the stadium, although the deals with Metrel and Probiz do have stadium naming rights included, but I wouldn't expect this to be into the millions.
We are nowhere near home and dry. We have been led up the garden path before, and I think we are being now. It's just that your garden path has led to the edge of the cliff already, whereas ours seems to be a bit longer.

I'm sure we have not got the full funding at the moment, and it could all go wrong for us but I all I can do is hope we are safe.

Unfortunately for you it's been a gamble your BOD took (egged on by others who had other motives) and it looks like they have lost.

Cost of the stadium.

The clubs statement today should have mentioned plan B to keep things positive.
