Quote leeds owl="leeds owl"As for the womens toilets, well let's just say the missus wasn't right impressed. If the toilets don't flush and the taps have no running water when the club has had all close season to fix them I hate to say it but can Cas really be considered a club that's really pulling out all the stops for a future Superleague licence'"
I agree, the toilets at WR - both genders - are bad, bad, bad. However the repair work necessary to improve them doesn't just require an offseason of time, it needs money too. The state of some aspects of WR is of grave concern to everyone, including the club, but you have to factor in that we need to compete against other clubs with larger catchments, bigger and better facilities and let's not forget, wealthy benefactors.
Ironically, the ground is so rubbish (at least in part) because of the Framing the Future dictat. In the past Cas have failed to invest in WR, with all monies and efforts focused - out of fear of non compliance - on moving to a new ground at Glasshoughton. However according to our new CEO that dream is fading fast and the decision has already been made to try and refocus on what we already have. But without the things that other clubs enjoy - sympathetic councils, millionaire backers, reckless abandon when it comes to balancing the books - the improvements Cas make will have to come slowly, and the priority the club gives to them might not always agree with our/your own.
Cas' current financial tightrope walk is very well documented, hence the big drive for memberships this season. Maybe if we had a County Cricket Club and a Yawnion team to share maintenance costs with WR might look a lot better than it does, but those are just the breaks I guess. All I'd say is bear with us, and you could do worse than bringing some disposable hand wipes with you...
