| Well, you could look at some facts instead of just spouting bitter & twisted nonsense.
Glasshoughton has been touted as a community stadium for a lot longer than Newmarket has even been an idea
Why would a council want 2 stadiums with the same purpose built 2 junctions apart
This one is the clincher....since Wakefield rejected a feasibility study, everyone including the council has known which of the 2 potential builds is the most feasible and which one should be the shared community stadium.
All Richard Wright has done is added some balance to the whole proceedings, why should there be a "community" stadium 2 junctions down from another community stadium which is NOT built on greenbelt land and on rambling trails etc and is seen as more feasible by just about everyone?
All that's gone on here is the Wakefield fans through blind hatred of Wright and pride they've launched a hate campaign just because he's spoken the truth.

Rubbish - he has a vested interest in pushing his Stadium through. He did this using Castleford RLFC as a vehicle to scupper another club. It's not balance, where is the balance in allowing Trinity to object to GH! We didn't object at the time and have never objected to GH because Ted Richardson and now Andrew Glover knew it wasn't the right thing to do.
He simply did not need to get involved and there is only one obvious reason why he did and a 5 year old could see that.
Finally you utter liar, GH was never ever touted as a community Stadium until Trinity first tried it with Thornes. The community element is a very recent add on to what was a commercial venture.
You really are pathetic.

Oh come off it!
The Cas stadium is, was and never has been a 'Community Stadium'! You lot were all joking about how much you could charge us - when you thought we were getting no-where. If you don't believe me, go and ask WMDC why they won't release any funding towards GH yet.
We have never said anything against the GH proposals, nor should we, even with this type of provocation, and there is no justification at all for RW to be butting in to our business.
How foolish it is to try and defend the indefensible.

| It appears that not for the first time, Wakefield fans have massively overstated what someone has said and made a mountain out of a mole hill:
Quote RW has not objected, he has simply answered a query. He confirmed that the Tigers were happy to take part in the council funded feasibility study and that Wakey weren't. He added that Wakey could use GH as tenants.'"
So what's wrong with that? He was asked these questions and he answered them.

Give over and grow up. It was a request from a local residents group, not the Planning Inspector. Any one with a brain not wishing to damage a fellow club would simply not have replied. It's called professional courtesy, I know it's a facebook Jerry Springer world but not every question has to be answered. The only reason he has answered was to cause mischief END OF.
If I was giving away beauty treatments and I wrote you a letter and asked you if your wife was fit or a munter - would you reply if she were the latter? It's a question after all.

In your mind yes.
Stop trying to make a mountain over a mole hill, or do you really have that much of a chip on your shoulder you have to use a non-story to rally the troops?

| A sad and desperate act from a man who knows Cas have no chance of ever getting Glasshoughton built and that his time is up. A pathetic attempt to derail another clubs progress because he is incapable of doing his job correctly at his own club.

Want to keep posting false information?
This is yet another sad and desperate attempt by Wakefield fans to try and pass off the failings of everything connected with Wakefield onto Castleford.
The fact of the matter is, what RW's letter included just confirmed facts that had been in the public domain for over a year.

| If there is no developments on these grounds in 2012 the only thing i can see is you either upgrade where you are or agree to share a purpose built ground and keep your own identities

He had no need to get involved at this stage. A pathetic act by a pathetic man supported blindly by poor souls like yourselves. Good luck with GH, you're going to need it.

Why on Earth, in his capacity as CEO of Cas Tigers, would he feel the need to write a letter stating things that are in the public domain??
He should have kept out.

Gronk is taking the Ostrich approach, only i think he's buried his head elsewhere if he thinks RW is anything but a spanner in the works of NM.

Your reply made no sense. Who is saying it that the PI is going to be plain sailing? It certainly isn't. What doesn't make it any easier is the CEO of another club making it more difficult by reportedly making claims of being able to share at a stadium that doesn't exist and going by his own clubs press release isn't going to in the neat future either. Richard Wright should have politely declined to comment on the situation, end of.
If Newmarket gets passed and at some point in future there is a planning application go in for Wheldon Road, would RW apprieciate a letter from Wakefields CEO saying that the petition they have saying a supermarket should be built there so Glasshoughton can be built, it isn't needed as they can share Newmarket with Wakefield? No? Thought not.

Once again, you're posting falsities to suit your own agenda, here is what RW wrote:
Quote "I have been asked to comment on the position of Castleford tigers with regard to the possibility of another club playing at our new stadium at Glasshoughton.
In the first instance I can confirm that we are looking for new organisations to use our new facilities in a number of ways and we would be happy for this to be in the form of another sports club using the stadium subject to a suitable agreement being put in place. It is a community stadium and it is our objective that it is used regularly by the community.
More specifically we did agree to participate in a Wakefield Council funded feasibility study in July 2010 to determine the best location for a new community stadium in the Wakefield district; this would accommodate a ground share between ourselves and Wakefield wildcats. The Council, to our disappointment, were forced to abandon this study when Wakefield wildcats refused to participate.
However, whist we have made significant progress with our site at junction32, including a detailed planning consent in April 2011, our position with regard to sharing our new facility at Junction 32 with another club has not changed. We plan to increase revenues into the stadium from a number of sources and provide significant benefits to the community.
If you need any further information do not hesitate to contact me"'"
As you can see, all he is doing is confirming what has been said in the past - he isn't going out of his way to say no there should not be a stadium at Newmarket.

| And remember that RW has actually being ASKED for his comments, not simply offered them.
And I have to say, I'm not sure what it is that isn't true?

Whats the 'falsities' there?
In effect he is saying theres no need to build a stadium there, they can play at ours. Not helpful, not necessary and not likely to be happening anytime soon. I'll say it again, he wasn't obliged to say anything but he couldn't help himself. He should have declined to comment.
