Sorry but, I've got very little faith in RW. Many other clubs warned us when he became involved in the club and there is a lot to suggest they were right.

He's always awaiting a major announcement, which in the end turns out to be waffle that he later contradicts.

We all knew that the sale of the old ground to developers was in trouble and that the buyers were pulling out back in late 2007 early 2008. RW however gave us words to the effect of that although this was a set back, we had alternative stage managed plans, and the show would go on.......Hence, all of this isn't new at all! It's recycling what we already knew.

For what RW has been paid over the last 3,4 or 5 years....and we are still at this stage...we'd have been better off investing his wages in correcting some issues at the Jungle. At a rumoured £80K a year over 3, 4 or 5 years, we could have got a lot done at the jungle!!

We should have looked into a new stadium years ago.

Whitwood anyone?

We did look at it quite a few years ago, but the club were intent on moving to a new stadium at Whitwood and tried to form a partnership with Castleford RUFC, but unfortunately the plan they put together was flawed. A good friend of mine who was a councilor, had the foresight to see the bigger picture and what Xscape and the old pit site would become and urged the club to move the project to Glasshoughton, but unfortunately, they didn't want to know, pressing ahead with Whitwood, otherwise I'm sure the stadium would have been built by now and we would be currently playing in it.

Indeed I shouldn't, two days and not a squeak on the website, very poor PR from the club. To release a statement now, well after the damage is done, would only stink of lies.

That is unless they were mixing concrete...

I think you will find that they are mixing concrete, but it's down at the Jungle.

I understand the arguments around corporate/hospitality facilities etc etc but I'd much rather stay at an improved Jungle if the alternative is a soul-less,2 sided/open-ended wind tunnell with little or no prospect of further development.

I think most of us would prefer that, but it matters not what we want, it's what the RFL want that will keep us in Superleague or send us into oblivion!

Kr are remaining at CP, Leeds did so at Headingly, Bulls at Odsal
If the jungle was suitable, you can stay.

Exactly thew jungle needs 2 brand new stands,

The main stand need completely rebuilding, all seater, same sort of stand to the new one at leeds but going all the way down the side.

The railway end needs rebuilding, with a roof, i would make that all seater.

With them improvements i believe it could be one of the best grounds in SL.

Why not secure loans againt the land the Council have given us and get some investments from local companies, im pretty sure local companies would rather invest in rebuilding The Jungle rather than building a lifleless, soulless widtunnel. But the chances of this happening though are ZILCH

I don't want rebuilding I am fine thamks. With regards to me being all seater, are you saying you want to sit on my face?

The problem with redeveloping Wheldon Road is training facilities. One of the key things about starting from scratch is getting in better facilities for the players.

Also, the location of Glasshoughton is second to none, and would be a massively missed corporate opportunity. Not to mention the opportunity to vastly expand the fanbase.

And also there's limited parking next to the Cas ground, it would be just as expensive redeveloping The Jungle.

Debatable

RW has said that the Jungle is not too far off the absolute minimum SL standard (yeh I know, pinch of salt and all that) but the question is can we fund the necessary improvements bearing in mind external investment will be far harder to find than for a new-build? If we can I would go for it, accept our franchise bid will be less competitive around stadia criteria than most others but put everything into our on-field development and challenge SL to demote us from a league position some way above the bottom 2-3. If we continue to immerse ourselves in the potentially impossible dream of relocation we run the risk of sliding to the foot of the table in, at best, a half built, half full stadium which still compares unfavourably with our rivals....the licensing implications of that scenario are pretty obvious.
