Richard Branson has stepped in as the club''s major benefactor. Virgin trains will carry all passengers to Glasshoughton station, the stadium will be known as the Virgin Stadium and people will come from miles around simply to stare at the splendour and majesty of the construction. The new influx of cash will allow us to buy top, new players while also retaining the services of our up-and-coming stars of the future nurtured by the club's excellent youth system.

The new club shop will of course become the Virgin-Tigers Megastore and we will have worldwide promotion, as well as club videos being shown on all Virgin Airlines flights.

Finally, there will be a ground-up overhaul of the catering facilities with Branson pickle available with every pie.

And so, with all that as an excuse for the incredibly pathetic excuse for a punchline I bid you all goodnight and remember - read all about it in the Cas & Pont tomorrow. But you heard it here first.

Why would it be in Glashoughton? You need to remember you are a small town in Wakefield!

T!T

Wembley is a small town in London and Aston Villa a small town in Birmingham so what is you point.

My point is that if a joint stadium was to be built within the Wakefield district then it would be better seved nearer to the CITY ceentre than the small town that is Cas!

Wouldn't it be better placed in the area in which the team with the most support plays???????? hmmmmmmmm let me think...........

Joint stadium is not going to happen anywhere and If Cas are confident that there stadium is going to happen why should they share.

Surely it should be built where the stadium has more chance of happening quicker, which would be on the Glasshoughton site.

I'm sure Wakefield rely upon more than the city centre for their support and therefore having it on J32, where it has good links, has planning permission and a very good chance of happening should both sides have support, then I'd say that is a very valid reason for doing it.

What would you rather have? A stadium built and a licence on J32 or a stadium in the pipeline with no real concrete evidence to suggest that it is going ahead and therefore no SL licence.

Don't feed the troll. It'll crawl back under the bridge soon enough.

NO TO GROUND SHARE dont want waky using our ground apart from our home matches, it would be too expensive in fumigation fees every time they played.

Maybe not Small Town

What a super post, very imformative

Quite a lot like the trolling we get on here!

Good luck.

Hope its positive news today for you.

All the sniping between Wakey and Cas has got quite tedious.

Would be great to see both clubs get new stadia.

FWIW,what ever the merits of ground share are,i feel the inevitable outcome would be the disappearance of one of the clubs.

Is the pont and cas out today or is it Friday ?

Could not agree with you more, but some people need to know the difference between a wind up and pure insults'. By the way Georgie fwiw I enjoyed your piece on Page 1 on this thread its better than all the other cr@p on here.

Positive stuff, still holding onto my excitement until I see building work though.

Que Vastman

Quite tedoius ? You mean f*cking pathetic and childish.

exactly.

<pedant>Aston is a small town in Birmingham. Aston Villa is a football club. </pedant?



But the point stands.

<extremepedant>Aston is actually an area of Birmingham, not a town/village or any other municipality. It's only defined area is as an electoral ward...</extremepedant>

To say Castleford is a small town in Wakefield is factually incorrect though. Castleford is a town which (unfortunately for its residents) lies within the Metropolitan Borough of the City of Wakefield. With a population approaching 40,000 it can hardly be classed as small either.

Doesn't state a timeframe for the Architects Design Comp. Also doesn't say anything about the rest of the design team or main contractors. From experience the earlier the group is put together the easier the design proccess which inturn speeds up the construction period.
