Does anyone remember reading this article from the Ponte & Cas? We have just stepped into May and it seems very quiet on the ground sale front.
A brief quote from the article... '“This is always a complicated process and we had hoped to have concluded a deal by now, but we remain confident that this will be finalised in April and we can then more openly communicate our development plans." Suggests that there should be some news coming our way!!
Does anyone have any knowledge of the current status?

I'm not disagreeing with either comment, but lets give him a few more days yet (not for the first time) and see if he makes any sort of announcement ready for the Widnes game.

| As posted on Casforum:
"Big things to come from the meeting are that there are two Supermarkets in for the ground. These were named ( we have been asked to keep that part confidential) They also said that a decision from one of the Supermarkets is expected anytime, but when exactly this happens is out of their control."
"It was confirmed that everything is in place for pp to go in as soon as a food operator has signed. There has been a lot of support for the scheme. The sale of WR will enable a 4 sided stadium to be built, the level of what is exactly in each stand depends on additional funding."
Things are still outside of the control of the club and they are just as frustrated as fans. But the situation is in the supermarket's court and obviously their need isn't as pressing as ours.

| Plus what is quite amusing is that people are STILL criticising RW even though the person quoted in the article is Andrew Duncan from Opus.
People need to understand: THIS IS NOT CAS IN CONTROL, it is Opus. Opus are the ones putting the money in and controlling the project.

| How is WR coping with all this rain? As its been the wettest April on record I would have thought any danger of flooding would have been evident - if not then the doubts about the 'flood risk' must have been alleviated for prospective purchasers?

39793_1491679334.jpg "Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"
"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39793.jpg |

The 1 in 100 year flood risk zone has been recently re-assessed and the WR site is no longer included.

| Thanks for the update Fully.
I notice that the website Stadium link isn't accessible at the moment, significant or not? Then again that could be my browser playing up.
Hoping for significant update in the not too distant future.

People need to understand
I'm guessing that RW is still part of the committee and hence if the committee is professionally managed, RW 'should or would' have been consulted before releasing a statement which would later reflect upon the committee and the club its self. Having made promises and failed to deliver on so many prior occasions, RW's involvement will always be under the spotlight.
However we are all braced for the 'excuse' that they will try and pass on to us as yet another 'reason' for further delays. Perhaps it will be Andrew Duncan who will deliver the excuse this time to take a bit of heat off RW??
