That's rather increasing in popularity for you isn't it... "Find where I said that" - "Show me where I wrote that". Certainly a welcome new addition to your intellectual nal.



Sadly though, I used the word 'intimated' as opposed to 'said' or 'stated', which rather negates any need to find anything concrete. A cunningly subjective stretch I know, but hey... I learned from the best.


As I've noted on the 'other' thread, IF Cas are smokescreening they won't be the first WMDC Super League club to have done so, will they?

Well said wtf is everyone getting out the pram for!! they still need
Outline planning (which we hav) takes about 2-5 years
Funding (which were told is issue for both clubs!!)
Then more planning
Last of all building

As we all know getting over the first bit is the worst, time wise and there is a lot of greenbelt land round that area

Thats the most whacky inaccurate post i've ever read on RLFANS

look at the regs *r

What I believe is that the announcement regarding Thornes Park's demise was not officially made until [iafter[/i the Wildcats had (by the RFL's admission) just scraped through the franchise decision making process. I also believe that the Wildcats' franchise application was entirely centred around Thornes Park being a goer. As the RFL pointed out, Wakey clearly had "...no Plan B" to fall back on.

Yes, I would use the word 'smokescreen'. At best, the timing had staggeringly fortunate consequences for your club's franchise application wouldn't you say?



Incidentally, around this time the Wakey messageboard (sorry, I mean that part of RLFans which some people think of as 'the Wakey bit') was full of indignant Wakey fans calling the council leaders various shades of evil for not making any announcement [iin the run up to[/i the franchise decisions being made. Funny? I almost had a seizure...

But one thing I'm absolutely positive about is that, if Cas do end up having to try and pull the same trick, it'll be the Wakey fans who'll be first in the queue to moan about it.

Who look

lets resort to name calling from behind a screen, brave man.


Good luck with the Cas stadium to normal Cas fans.

Just going to ignore the £20,000 spent by the council then?? and stick to your smokescreen theory!?

p.s really doubt wakey fans will be that bothered to be honest, as long as 'we' are ok that is!

Don't play games mate. I'm ignoring the twenty grand because it has absolutely f*ck all to do with the timing of the announcement, upon which my smokescreen "theory" rests.

Well if there'd been a fence built at J32 I'd have sat on it








Delboy66(aye of the tigers fanzine)

The timing of the announcement was up to and in the hands of the council!!!! It was them that went to the RFL and told them about THEIR plans!

Oh how wonderfully naive....
