Is it just me that is extremely concerned about the future of the club? First and foremost because the ground (which has been discussed in detail since 2003) is still no closer to having been built despite two petitions to the council, three official architects being announced, three potential buyers of the new ground falling through. We have been constantly asked for our support which we are all willing to give, but the fact remains there is only so much we can do. I hope those of you who bought bricks kept your receipt.



I am getting a feeling that it is 1996 all over again where they tried and failed to force us, Wakefield and Featherstone to merge. I get a feeling 15 years on they will try again, albeit when the next franchise comes up, it will be neither of you will get in unless you ground share. I hope I am wrong, but I am starting to get very worried.

This will in turn lead to the whole 'the area can only sustain one team' argument and they will try and merge our squads again. I am pleased with the blooding of youngsters from our own ranks and this is a major positive for us, but we need some more experienced players in key areas next season. This year I think we have too many second rowers (seven in total plus two utility 'back rowers') with no cover in the half backs or centres.

All the above gleaned from the Cas and Pont website archives, it is a joke how much bull has been spoken on this subject by the board over the years, they are simply p[aying lip service in my opinion because they know it is what people want. They do it to keep the wolf from the door, that is all.

Its time for the board to deliver, hollow promises do not work with me any more...

The Ground will be built. I have no worries on that front. 2012 is our year!

I admire your optimism mate, but I don't not share it. The evidence for more hollow promises is far more overwhelming.

You are entitled to your opinion though, as I am mine, thus is the spice of life!

I think we all worry mate but we will never know all the facts good or bad. Have a little faith and lets see what the year ahead brings - but you are right, each to there own !

Regards.

What year?

Oh ye of little faith.

We will be in the new stadium by the start of the 2014 season, I'd say.

Bleak!!


sorry

Only asking, just to see if i'll still be alive

Thanks for the contribution but I believe the Wakefield forum is further down the page.

Which one? The one at Newmarket that you'll be forced to share!

I can never take you seriously after bigalf described you as your avatar, except with the computer, arms, eyes and mouth removed.

No, the one at Glasshoughton which Wakefield will be sharing.

It would be interesting to know how you come to that point of view?

Oh well done Fully you've set them off now





And they seem to have forgotten that the Keepmoat is already built and would be the preferred option for both the club and no doubt the fans too.

I didn't do anything, honest, Guv. Just one who trolls the Cas Forum trying to stir things up........as per usual.

So it is going to be completed by 2014 is it? I will lay bets if you like...please save your money

Keepmoat really? never heard that come from Dickie Wright? So your going to move a 20 mile drive away rather than 4 mile drive? Do you really believe that?

If you want to talk about stirring go see your Chief exec, the man is a disgrace to the game and I'm sure 2012 will be the year he gets his comeuppance.

Its all the same to me keepmoat or Stanley distance wise that is, except I will never watch Cas, sharing Newmarket! Anyhow, IF pi is granted in favour of Newmarket does Yorkcourt, have the funding to begin stadium build, assuming detailed full pp is granted?

So they tell us, we've no reason to not believe them.

Suppose you have to. Don't see too many other locations/offers of building a stadium for you in Wakefield city centre.

Of course, that’s why we are willing to compromise. Ideally Thornes Park or Durker would have been ideal but it wasn't to be.

We won't have long to wait then....until then shhh

the ground aint gonna get built, richard wright is a born liar and has been saying the stadiums gonna be bulit for years, id only believe what he says once the building work starts, id be very worried if i was a cas fan at the minute but thankfully im not. but while wright is still at cas he will keep telling the fans and the rfl what they want to hear , a man who cant be trusted in my opinion.

Thanks for your opinion but you're completely wrong.

Castleford Tigers have full planning permission for a new stadium and the project for a supermarket is being driven by Opus North (Ltd), not RW.

Saviles and the RFL are both privy to our stadium project and where it is at and this was also submitted in our licence application. Furthermore, we want to sell our stadium for as much money as possible and so it was not feasible to sell it for housing.
