"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"
"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39793.jpg |

It seems to be the concensus on other forums that this "deal" has had to be brought about to keep the Bulls afloat.
If true and the RFL were aware of the impending implosion at Odslum, what did they know or were kept in the dark about in July?

kingcobra can you see anything other than groundshare with wakie or one of you go.
the bulls are/were not in deep financial problems,one of only a very few clubs that were not actually in debt,now the stupid iestyn harris saga is over
i totally agree it is a very strange thing for the RFL to do, i certainly think there is another agenda by them,but will not put the bulls at risk,and if the RFL spend a bit of money on odsal everyones a winner

You see, this is where you give yourself away to be someone who knows nothing about the situation.
Can you explain how the completion of one independently funded project has any influence on the completion of the other? |

Wakefield, as a club, are not funding the stadium at all, thought that was also pretty obvious  |

Because they're jealous and envious, that their own clubs can't sort out their futures. |

Either way, the club are not paying for the ground. |

Not jealous or envious of anything to do with Bradford, certainly not now anyway. I'm just correcting your friend and his/her opinion that Wakefield are paying for the new ground. Simple. |

The develpoer who is building it along with warehousing units is financing the main chunk, with (i believe) grants covering the rest. Even without the grants though a stadium will be built, just not as nice and shiny. |
