It does seem odd,which is why i raised it.

Going to keep my powder dry on this one,ive got a feeling it could twist and turn a few ways yet.

Whatever he was asked, he didn't have to answer.
He did, and he surely knew the potential consequences to Wakefield of song so.

It's a shame he has tainted the Cas club and fans with his opinions. Thought we were all starting to concentrate on our own stadium for a while.

It'll add some spice to the next game anyway.

But it wouldn't have mattered one jot if he didn't or did answer; this is the point we're getting across. The information is nothing new; GH is, has and always will be open to third-party organisations/clubs to use. In addition to this, we did agree to a feasibility study and the rest is factual information. The only people that can be perhaps at fault for that are the people that declined the feasibility study and gave that as ammunition for the objectors.

The objectors, not RW, were going to bring this up any way and this issue would have been pursued and I have no doubt that the Inspector being impartial (although I'm not sure) would have been able to contact CTRLFC himself and ask for these comments. Vis-a-vis, the impact would still be the same.

The thing WTW fans need to get into their heads is that Castleford Tigers, nor Richard Wright, have no grounds to object. Therefore, this is NOT an objection nor a way of preventing WTW plans from going through. This has got to be taken into account when looking at WMDC's evidence and more pertinently Yorkcourt's reasons for justifying the stadium to be in Greenbelt.

In fact, the issue that is being negated is the fact that the material objection is not against a stadium at all; it's against the Warehousing and subsequent other facilities lumbered on the same site. The stadium is being used to justify the whole development going through as without the warehousing there is no stadium.

Fully, you're dissembling because your Chairman has put you in a position of having to either admit that he's behaved apallingly, or defend the indefensible.

You know as well as we do that the decent thing to do would have been to ignore the request, or reply by saying something to the effect of "This has nothing to do with CT - we remain focussed on our own stadium plans."

It doesn't matter that his clumsy attempt to play politics won't make any difference to the process; we all know that to be the case because the Inspector will see his pathetic stunt for exactly what it is. Regardless, he absolutely, positively and without any shadow of a doubt SHOULD NOT have attempted to lend his weight to the objectors by saying more in his letter than he was asked to say.

The man has made himself and by association your club appear to be desperate and vindictive; your defence of his pathetic actions doesn't do you any favours at all.

If it doesn't matter one iota, why are you making it out to be a public scandal? In fact, why are you having a right old tizz over it?

RW has gone up in my estimation. Not only has he reminded people on the feasibility study rejection he has also defended his clubs stance on not playing at Newmarket which quite frankly will never happen now, much to the delight of the Tigers faithful.

Could we also change the title of this thread please ?

Would this of been as bigger deal if he had turned round and said "Please see the recent press releases regarding the issue"

No there probably wouldnt of been so why the big deal.

And before and Wakie fans say anything, i live in Wakefield and sincerely hope you get a stadium, whether is be newmarket or elsewhere.

My opinions will never change, i respect any team who wants to better themselves, unless in trying to better themselves they nearly go bust....

Also can we please change the title of this thread as RW has no reason to be called Vile.

Why is everyone asuming that the other sporting club is WTW.

Glasshoughton Welfare FC who play in the Northern Counties football league are based at Leeds Road, Glasshoughton less than half a mile from the site of the proposed new stadium.

Statement from RWhttp://www.castigers.com/article.php?id

Yes you did.

Heres a reminder of what you wrote to help you.

"The following are just a few towns that don't have a Cathedral, so can't be classified as Cities"

You can also be a city, by charter.

Oh just leave them alone , they are only scared that this latest bout of scrounging for a free ride will falter.

Good on ya RW , they dont like the truth

If ever RW needed some kind of halfwit to back up his credibility, and as if by magic the King of the turds turns up!!!
He may as well pack in now, if you're the kind of credible support he can muster.
See ya later Dicky
