Who us this robbo chap?

Agreed, hence the obvious omission of anything stadium related, his brief is to improve the club not the facilities as the focus is being drawn away from a move to GH, they can sell the lease on GH and also sell Rangi and have some money to develop WR Quid pro quo

I think the reason GH and Stadiums are not mentioned is that its nothing to do with the new appointment, now some will read this different ways, its depends and what angle one takes when looking




For me i think its straight up, after all DW didn't write it

???DW

Dickie Wright at a guess



Who will probably still be in charge of anything stadium related.

Yes, old dickie wright.

Roads are irrelevant as far as us a club are concerned but I suspect that these will be dealt with in the planning application. We have to remember that there's more than just the WR site being developed down there over the next decade or so. These changes will be done by Opus as the developer, I believe, and has already been mentioned in the Castleford Growth Delivery Plan made public two weeks ago.

All we need is PP on the WR site.

Hit the nail on the head there. Many Cas fans try to pick weaknesses in YCP/Langtree funding of Newmarket but looking at both projects objectively ours is clearly more realistic. The recent interest from Persimmon suggests that housing is still considered viable, will they be willing to pay more than the few millions that Ben Baileys was? The fact that they are considered as an alternative to Tescos suggest to me that Tescos are not willing to pay any more than what the land is valued at.

As for RW I don't think there is any more he can do or could do to deliver the GH project. The difference between the value of WR and the construction of GH is just too big of a gap to fill. Whats happened is that he has come out with so much bull regarding GH that it got to point of embarrassing, he had lost all credibility. I can't really see what Ferres can do to change the funding situation. At least we can expect him to more honest and not continue the one upmanship that RW has been involved in over the last few years. Interesting times ahead.

Think Steve Ferres will do a good job for Cas as he appeared to do for us and Bradford.Only trouble is he a jinx look what happened to us and now bradford hope he goes well at Cas.

If its who I think it is, he has some retail in between "that bridge" and the other bridge over to lock lane, amongst other things.
I think he has some shareholding at cas and understandably doesn't want a dirty great tesco, over the roundabout.

A moaning WUM who thinks because he has a shop and a few shares he's important.

He started spouting about how he was bringing in money blah blah blah....as the statement yesterday said when he was told to put up or shut up, he shut up.

He also proclaimed to be selling shares on Casforum, had people send cheques and then never sold the shares

at least he had the decency to send the cheques back.

Oh and a favourite of his "best interests of the club" then he goes off and is the only opposition for Tesco

I would take Robbos word over yours gonk.

I believe Robbo owns the shop with all the benches barrells and exotic plants outside it.

Correct. The Ale Seller, part of D+R Group (Davison and Robinson).

That's the one, little goldmine that place.

Indeed. Peter Gentle anyone?

Exactamundo!

Cracking shop that, bought a few things from there over the years. No wonder he doesn't want any competition that could potentially put him out of business, everyone would do the same.

Come off it lads we all know Peter Gentle had a walk round WR & a sarnies with the players.....

Wonder what put him off?

The black hole of a stadium project, players being expected to finance the club or just the hair on the women folks knuckles. Probably all of the above.

Expect a drip-drip to a "temporary" move to NM.

Never been in Administration though plank.

Only because JF is happy to put some money in, have a look through your company financials, like most clubs in SL it doesn't make for very good reading.
The fact that you are better supported by individual wealth, doesn't make you a better club or mean that you wont one day find yourselves in such a predicament.
Wafer thin ice!!!!!!!

Don't disagree,my comment said "we have never been in administration" which at this moment in time,we haven't.

Who said that you had?

Nobody said that they had, 007 said that they haven't, does that clear up the issue

I took it that you were taking a cheep shot along with your insult.
Happy to be wrong though!!
