Following on from the anxiety of last weeks license announcment and this weekends cup semi-final derby fever, I am getting a bit worried about Mr Richard 'waiting a major annnouncment' Wright and his lack of major announcments in the waiting!!

I'll put my hand up now and say if he has made any announcments on the official Cas website following the licensing last week...then I've missed it!!! However, if he hasn't....then shouldn't he now be stepping forward thanking all involved....staff, fans, sponsors, volunteers etc etc and further saying what a fantastic achievement and opportunity that this brings to the club??

Other than the obvious (lack of new Stadium) he might also want to shed some light on the feedback from the RFL which only gave us a 'C' grade license.....and how it stacks up with what he thought was a 'very strong' bid!

We can alll see what 'we' believe to be positive 'ticks' in boxes....(Youngsters coming through, new sponsors, on field results, community work, good ballance sheets...... etc etc) however what held us back from showing significant progress from last time and perhaps a 'B' grade??

So if you are currently torturing RW in your basement, trying to get him to commit to a statement he's previously made, let him out for a little while, so he can make one more 'major announcment' and in doing so give some feedback about the positives and shortcomings of our license bid, which gave Cas a nett outcome of a C grade!!

It would be nice for him to come out and discuss the outcomes for us from the licensing process. I'm surprised he hasn't tbh

RW did thank everyone involved including the fans, on the morning of the franchise announcements at the ground. I know not everyone could attend due to working, but please give the guy a rest. There are some fans that moan like hell when he make all these announcements and now there are some moaning because he isn't making any. I'm sure in the next couple of weeks or so there will be plenty of news coming from the club, regarding all sorts of things. Until then it's currently the holiday season, Chill, lie back and relax! We have a CC semi to contend with, with a decent chance of making the final!

I would think apart from the obvious stadium issue the following were factors why we received only a 'C' grade rather than 'B':

1. Lack of Season ticket holders (RFL looking for 5000)
2. Well documented crowd troubles leading to fines.
3. Lack of final appearances. Lets not forget we've been knocked out of the Cup pretty earlier in recent years and by lower division clubs!

Maybe more than those but off the top of my head those are the first three that cam to me!

Is it beyond the realms of possibility that with a coach to appoint, a semi final to organise and the response from the franchise application to analyse he might be a tad busy at the moment?

...another one moaning about something else.

Can't supporters actually enjoy this week ?

We are in the Semi Final of the Challenge Cup, 80 minutes away from Wembley in case it has escaped some peoples attention. We have a party to go to on Sunday - in 3 days time. Worry/Moan about RW, Franchises, the price of beer in the ground next week !

If you think that is a moan, you either can't read or you've never been married old cock!!!

Personally I'd say that securing the franchise was worth putting 10 mins into a quick statement to say thank you to all those involved, however when it comes to good manners....each to their own I guess!

Now lets get the party started for Sunday YEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!
