I would be happy to stay at WR
It would be the cheaper option and something that I would have thought most fans would want.

Seem to remember we weren't allowed to re-develop WR because of the old Hicksons site but now they don't really do anything on there it shouldn't be much of a problem

If done right, this could be a real cash cow.

This sort of thing isn't difficult to do and I'm surprised we have rented vans for so many years.

Unless it was a case of - "We could do something but it's easier not to bother"

How does this smack in the face of the two Clubs you mention, there clearly didn't meet other criteria set down by the RFL Licencing Requirements.

And the primary plan is still to build a new stadium! But since our hands are tied by the Supermarket(s) plans the BOD are looking at other options one of which is redevelop WR.

The Supermarkets are currently re-evaluating their stance on all their plans, whether it be redevelop current stores, or build new ones, even the big 4 supermarkets are finding trading conditions tough. Tesco have only recently announced a large drop in profits.

IIRC it was a case of a new build at GH costing no more than upgrading WR to a similar standard which would be necessary to qualify for a SL license.

If, as seems inevitable, SL relax/abandon their grossly disproportionate stadium criteria we may be able to sufficiently enhance WR for infinitely less than GH would cost us. In fact did I read somewhere that a company bidding to develop the Hicksons site had indicated funding could be made available for improvements to the ground as part of a general facelift for the area?

Shame though about the money already spent on planning GH...more shame on RFL for putting us in a situation where we had to do it when most right minded people saw the lunacy of valuing a new stadium higher than such as financial stability and on-field performance.

Point taken but can you honestly say that those two clubs were more deserving of a franchise than Cas because they had a better stadium.

As if Giants fans give a toss about Halifax...

Thing is, we are where we are. Cas won and retained their franchise by jumping through the same hoops as everyone else, it's not our fault someone else lost out. Cas didn't make the rules and Cas didn't smack anyone in the face. Whether the RFL did is another matter, but imho Cas have taken a few punches from that direction themselves over the years....

But moving forward, IF we are to redevelop WR to make it "fit for purpose" I can't see it happening overnight. After years of window dressing bordering on neglect it's clear there's a helluva lot of work to be done to turn our home into a Super League ground. It'll require serious investment too, and after last night it's simply not clear to me where those funds would come from. Perhaps it's from the pocket of our potential new investor?

2 issues that grate like helll for championship clubs here, 1st Those 2 clubs have got fit for purpose stadiums while having millions less out of the game from sky than Cas, 2nd every man and his dog new years ago glasshoughton was never going to happen it has been spun along by Dickie Wright. So i would say yes those 2 clubs are more worthy of a franchise

If I were in chargePhase 1
Demolish Railway end, move it back further onto the land behind it the club owns, extend the pitch to be full length, build a cheap all seater stand with a roof & concourse there.

Phase 2
Extend the Princess Street stand down towards the new Railway end so it runs the full length of the pitch (with a longer pitch it would stop at about the 10m line), put a new roof on it to freshen it up a bit.

Phase 3
Re-roof the WRE, add more bars into it.

Phase 4
Move the main stand back towards the turnstiles and make the 2 standing parts at either side of it into part of the seating area, add all the cooperate facilities etc into it. Concourse underneath it, obviously.

This would be achieved over a period of time with the aid of grants & sponsors.

I think the priority is redeveloping the main stand first. The other areas aren't much of a necessity because they're standing areas.

The main stand is integral because it incorporates corporate guests, changing rooms, gym, offices etc (not forgetting fit for purpose toilets). As a club, if this was a viable option then it would be worth doing the main stand up purely for the hospitality reasons. The cash that this would generate alone would significantly dwarf what we already have and so would increase revenue streams in the interim.

People seem to be skirting over the fact that we would only resort to this if the new stadium didn't come off.

Doing the main stand would cost the most so starting somewhere else would be better to get the ground up to scratch as quickly as possible.

The pitch also needs making full size..amongst many other problems so the new stadium really needs to happen.
