The shareholders were told on Tuesday who the developers are.

Also the directors should be congratulated as the ground was sold at the peak of land/house values - if they had waited till now we would have got approximately half the amount

If what you say about Cas and Wakey comes true and I for one cant find an argument against it. Then as you say it would/should be virtually impossible for Widnes to get into SL purely on the location of their ground in relation to Warrington and St Helens and the proximity of the 3 grounds'
which are in actual fact closer than Cas, Fev and us. So if your fears' about us and Cas come true where exactly does that leave Widnes and to a slightly lesser extent Leigh?

That is quite right, but in this case it was a conscious decision to imporve the quality of the club - on and off the pitch. This started with the investment in Domic and Solomona - and although they have left, there is no doubting that we have improved on the pitch from the era up to 2003 and that we have become a lot more professional off the pitch since then too (that's not saying we still haven't a long way to go yet!).

10,000 gates is very much desireable - but I still think that will be limited to Wigan / Leeds / Saints (just) / Bradford / Hull / and possibly, by then, Huddersfield / Catalans and Wire - at best 8 clubs - at worst only 5 - not enough for SL. So whilst we need to aspire to that figure, it won't be the end of the world if we're not there.

As JK said on Tuesday - if your riding high in the top 4/6/8, then you'll have a good chance of being in!

Very true, but also very speculative, given that we don't as yet have another ground to move into (even if we all hope and assume that the Stanley project will be given the green light, this wasn't on the horizon in 2007).

Do we now lease the ground from said property developer? Who pays for maintenance/improvements to the ground in the meantime? How long can we stay there?

Whether there was a mandate to sell from the shareholders or not, it seems an odd way of going about the whole business - to me at any rate.

We stay in the ground as long as we need to and no leasing involved - it is still half ours!
