Its rather sad but we now have no choice, does it say we are going to GH cap in hand?

if everyone is worried about mergers and feeder teams etc. What about exploring the possibility of a merger of sorts with dewsbury? If they were interested:
They have a ground that could be developed as there's bugger all around it.
They have much less chance of getting in SL with the franchise system.
Their could be a beneficial dual registration of players.
It's a lot closer than Leeds or Barnsley, it's practically on the doorstep.
Warren jowett a former player and wakey lad, joint sponsors.
Just thinking out loud?
Reduced running costs etc.

unfair to Dewsbury as I would of thought that they would of lost their name before us

Short term, temporary stands, I don't think there is a problem, hull kr were allowed in with theirs.

Not sure they would, they would be a feeder club of sorts, but they could become a succesful nl1 club on the back of it??
Like I said just thinking out loud.

Ideal to get to but it wouldn't be home, like I've read before it would be like being a cockoo

That would be a good move until Newmarket is sorted, only 10 minutes from Wakefield, we've always had a good relationship with LUFC using their shop in the Ridings in the mid 90s, LUFC reserves playing at Belle Vue.
We could just open the west stand for the games with no away fans celtic, quins huddersfield to minimise cost and open the south stand for sides with a bigger away following and the Revie Stand for probably the biggest crowd when we play the Rhinos. Do a deal for Wakefield based LUFC season ticket holders and with the increased away support it could work. Knowing Ken Bates though he won't be letting us rent Elland Road on the cheap or has it got anything to do with him? who owns Elland Road is a mystery.
We must keep pressing on with Newmarket though as moving back into the City of Wakefield ASAP is a must.

Doesn't say much at all. In fact if you've read these forums you will be more informed of the situation than if you bought the Express.

Newmarket would be leaving the "city" too so no big deal really. Leaving the District would be more accurate.

Indeed it would. Regardless the headline has done its job and got peoples attention without the article having anything of substance to it.

How would NM be leaving Wakefield???

Newmarket Lane is in Wakefield. Can't say the same for Methley...

It would still be leaving the city as the boundary is just beside Pinderfields Hospital.

Playing at dewsbury wouldn't either WF12.

Judging by this morning's League Express, Ted Richardson's Plan B is to sling mud at Castleford's stadium efforts.

Care to expand for those without a copy?

He's just telling it how it is.

Not had chance to get mine today, but I shouldn't worry, teds comments can't do a lot to your ground plans, dickies lack of comments, now that's a different matter.

Three points are true, but regardless of point two (I don't know the funding situation, but word has it it's all sorted) and point five (which isn't actually based on any evidence), I'm not sure what putting down the Cas stadium situation is going to get him.

Absolutely, I think Ted's bitter comments just smack of desperation really. It's a shame he didn't use the interview to announce something positive re your ground plans.

Agree no good criticising others but I hope he is waiting to announce Plan B formally to Shareholders first on 4th January. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I assume that Ted will be giving information first to the owners of the club at the shareholders meeting on Jan 4th, if so, then why should this info be given to the likes of Castleford supporters before the club owners. I can wait for any announcement, so why is a Cas supporter bothered?

We all know it's easier to throw stones, I'm actually quite shocked ted made any comment at all, cos he doesn't let us know owt!!! Like I said I haven't seen the comments, but you only have to look at the questions being asked on here over the last week, and he's not managed to make any comments to us!!!!! My views on him are well known on here, but I don't trust tricky dicky either. It seems that when one club has the accendency the others chairman, instead of liasing with the clubs supporters they make detremental comments in regards to the others plans. I hope we all get what we want, and that's probably the taffs getting the boot. viewtopic.php?f=72&t=478059

Got to agree with your first point, he should keep his mouth shut about Cas they are nothing to do with us, as for the other bit there is probably nothing to be positive about at the moment unfortunately.

Reccomended bedtime reading for tonight Ted:
