Cas Awarded 'C' Grade
Large spread by John Ledger in today's Yorkshire Post;
Interesting quotes fro the report re Wakie...'plans for a new stadium exist. These are not as far advanced as might be the case despite projected occupation by 2010 and evidence of a Plan B would have been beneficial'
There is no way that Wakie will be in a new stadium by 2010.
Question is. If it is clear that Wakefield will not be able to meet the stadium criteria next time round, will pre-emtive action be taken against them (ie lose of franchise) in 2010 or will they be able to struggle on until 2011 and then get kicked out?

if we get into our new stadium we should be safe,this next month should see our future in a much clearer picture.im pretty confident we will move into glasshoughton but who with is anyones guess.
ive said for a long time the council will not fund two stadiums and with all the problems at thornes park and weystone doing all the ground works at glasshoughton and us needing a hand financially the council could in affect force us into a shared stadium,if its at glasshoughton i dont mind but there aint a cat in hell`s chance of me going to wakefield to watch us play.

So what happens when its cas v wakey, which will be our 'end' and their 'end', what about naming stands, bars ect, sharing the ground will be a nightmare, and why should we share, we can stand alone without wakey. If they cant hack it or get up to standards then they should pay the price and play in NL1. Why should we bail them out, why should we play in wakey, why should they play in cas. It will be a nightmare and if it does happen, i wont step one foot in the new ground. Its gonna be a cas ground, and no-one elses. No-one would expect bradford to share with leeds.braytontiger wrote:if we get into our new stadium we should be safe,this next month should see our future in a much clearer picture.im pretty confident we will move into glasshoughton but who with is anyones guess.

i wouldnt like it either but if the council dont find funds for two stadiums there is little alternative than to share a stadium,lets see what august brings but i truely believe that wmdc got the worst possible result by both cas and wakey getting a franchise and deep down they will have been hoping one club failed.wastedyears1981 wrote:So what happens when its cas v wakey, which will be our 'end' and their 'end', what about naming stands, bars ect, sharing the ground will be a nightmare, and why should we share, we can stand alone without wakey.

I just cant see how we could share, it would be impossible and unfair on other teams, our away ties with wakey would be, in theory at home. I just cant see it happening.braytontiger wrote:i wouldnt like it either but if the council dont find funds for two stadiums there is little alternative than to share a stadium,lets see what august brings but i truely believe that wmdc got the worst possible result by both cas and wakey getting a franchise and deep down they will have been hoping one club failed.wastedyears1981 wrote:So what happens when its cas v wakey, which will be our 'end' and their 'end', what about naming stands, bars ect, sharing the ground will be a nightmare, and why should we share, we can stand alone without wakey.

The only thing wakey would have on us is the fact Belle Vue in terms of land would be worth a hell of a lot more than cas's, due to it being close to the centre.
I dont think we will ever merge with anyone, cas will get the funding for our ground. Regardless of what happens to wakey.

i hope your right but unless you know something the rest of us dont then we are reliant on wmdc funding the gap we cannot pay. from what i hear where talking a substantial figure,now lets look at it another way the wmdc give wakey 15 million to build them their stadium but dont give cas the 4 million needed to finish the stadium you wouldnt be happy and vice versa ,for political reasons the best outcome for the council would be to bang our heads together.
now you can say wakefield can go do this that and tother but unless we have a backer wgere at the mercy of wmdc.

SUPER LEAGUE LICENSING THE OFFICIAL REPORT
Castleford Tigers
Ground is limited and old-fashioned but plans for a new stadium exist. Financal projections are based on the new ground, although there is evidence of a Plan B.
Well managed financially. Strong support even when relegated. Youth pathways maintained but have not always been able to secure best local talent.
This was in today's Yorkshire Post. It is pretty positive especially compared to quite a few of the others.

I am a Fev fan but not from Fev. Allerton Bywater actually. One of our board members was told last year by a senior councillor that they wouldn't be funding any part of your stadium as they were £20m plus in debt. You may get the money from elsewhere though or WMDC might have been lying to him. We are wanting talks with them, we own many acres of land around POR. If WMDC freed it for development then it would be worth many millions to us. Wouldn't be spending a penny of taxpayers money either.
