Quote: Scabbycat "How many times have Castlefords's matches been cancelled because of flooding. can't remember any . Maybe one due to snow thawing..
Looks like neither clubs will have a new groundm the next time the franchises are being awarded. So both Clubs could be kicked out.
And the RFL will have what they want 12 clubs.'"
Thanks for that smiler!
Unfortunately, the 1 in 100 year flood levels can't be dismissed so easily; ask bigalf - he knows, but chooses to remain uncharacteristically silent on this matter; I can't think why.
In real terms, all it means is that the prospect of building a large format food store on WR is significantly more complicated and costly than it would be to build one in the conventional way; it's not a deal breaker, but since Tesco don't give a hoot about CT and it's need for a new stadium, logic dictates that they'll build on a site that is most cost effective for them, as opposed to one that allows Cas to live the dream.
I have no doubt that WR will eventually sell and I genuinely hope it does so within a timeframe and at a value that allows CT to realise their plans to the RFL's satisfaction; at this moment in time however, that's far from certain, much like our own ambitions to be building at NM by the summer of 2012.
