Quote: rollin thunder "What's idiotic about it, it's a fact Cas have twice been promised FREE new ground and both have fallen through, they have wasted nearly 20 years rather than redeveloping their current ground, Fev managed to do it Leeds Hull Hr have done it, they are now back to square one, when they could have at at least one if not 2 new stands at Weldon road.'"


No they haven't. The first proposed ground (sorry that's really the 2nd as they proposed one on the site of the old Glasshoughton pit in the 70s icon_wink.gif ) on the other side of the road, or at least the stadium build, was to be funded by the club themselves. That didn't happen because despite being given the land and obtaining full planning permission they didn't have the money to fund it - selling WR for either housing or a new supermarket was never going to raise the amount required.

Quote: little wayne69 "Talking of no match day revenue, what about those young scallys what used to charge you 50p for looking after your car when you parked near the chinese chippy on match days
That's £5.50 cheaper than they charge at the ground these days so what you complaining about you tight bar steward? icon_wink.gif icon_lol.gif

Quote: SaleSlim "You obviously missed the bit about us making NO MATCH DAY REVENUE (except ticket sales) and having lost income from the likes of the Variety Centre and Vault Bar, which were an integral income stream at The Willows. You also missed the part about alienating fans by moving out of the heart of the city. Apart from Saints (who have a successful team and a lot larger fan base) I can't think of any other SL club whose ground is in a more fan-unfriendly spot. I forgot to mention the continual excuses from away fans saying they can't get to the AJ Bell as it's situated somewhere just outside the Arctic Circle (and subsequent further loss in income) Salford weren’t bullied into selling their stadium to pay off debts. That’s entirely on them and no-one else.
I have sympathy with the current owners predicament as with Wakefield and Cas. But Salford lost the right to choose their own destiny when they decided to distort the league and consistently spend more money than they brought in. Well they bet that right anyway, and it didn’t pay off.
The same is true with Cas and Wakefield who have both spent miniscule amounts of money on their stadiums over the last 60+ years and again distorted the league by spending more on players than they could actually afford.

They are not the only clubs of course, plenty of clubs did and Cas, Wakefield and Salford have perhaps been amongst the “unlucky” ones. But it was still within their power to maintain their stadiums and they didn’t.

That is not the fault of the current owners and so the sport should do what it can to help get better, sustainable, profitable facilities for the clubs but let’s not forget why the clubs are in this position in the first place, and it’s got sod all to do with the RFL or a local council or anyone else.

Mate, I don't remember them being made to move, all I remember is Salford thinking a new ground could raise the crowds like the grounds at Hull and Warrington did?? Only this was a new ground well away and out of town and Salford weren't a winning side like Hull and Wire?
