Just had a hammer blow regarding planning of new stadium, very very very slim chance of having new home for 2012.

If Cas don't deliver as well could there be 2 places up for grabs in the Franchise bids??

Fax and Barrow in SL - you never know!

If Wakefield and Castleford go down then I for one wouldn't mind staying down for a couple of years.
Call me negative if you like but I have a sneaking suspision that others within the club would agree.

In terms of Stadia if Barrow got in it would be laughable, although i would rather they be in SL who could be classed as a true development area in Cumbria rather than this rather futile Welsh situation.

Wakey/Widnes/Crusaders merger is now on the cards...

Fax not ready on and off the field just yet....

I beg to differ. Relatively speaking we are more 'ready' than some of the present incumbents.

or Toulouse full of second rate aussies
keeping the expansion dream alive

Widnes.

Wakey are going to lower the tone of the place with that crappy stadium. Isn't there a minimum criteria down here to stop this sort of thing. We're not here just to accept any old riff raff

May be a few twists here, the Cas ground plans are due to be submitted before xmas, i think someone is still trying to install a cad package to knock up some super stadium drawings, anyone got a copy?
And the WMDC comment about the £2m pot doesn't sound so imminent when you read it carefully.

I would imagine their would be loopholes everywhere regarding the 2mill... I read a few places that the 2mill is going to be given in land and then that depends only if they are in SL... Wakey sold their ground to developers, used the money and now have no ground after the 2011 season, can't afford to build their own ground, can't get planning permission and won't ground share with Cas... They are a comedy club... Wonder where all the money has gone from the old Gateshead chairman after he pulled out of Gateshead and gave to Wakey???
