Im not gonna kid myself, we’ve dodged a bullet here. I’m quite pleased with how all of this has played out - a lot of us Cas fans have been very disappointed in the way our youth has been treated over the last few years so, hopefully, this is the kick up the backside that the club needed. There is no shortage of talent in the area, the schools teams and youth teams do well. They just don’t seem to either a) improve or b) be given the chance, when they have entered the academy set up over the last 7/8 years. We have a coach coming in that does seem to want to promote youth so, hopefully, this is the start of us getting back to where we should be.

Robin Park Arena is not for the sole use of WRL and is not owned, in any way, shape or form, by WRL.

It's a tenancy.

You used it to take the P out of Cas and Wakey, saying "your" training facility was better than those clubs first team grounds.

All your facilities are rented.

Is that another way of paying rent?.

No - that's the bills.

The rent they pay is separate.

you go back a long time

So do I, but my take on this is Superleague did not want two clubs in Leeds, and didn't want a "Small club" either but wanted a city club with a good history.....

At that time SL did not know Wakey council would not be supportive of their top footy club, or that Wakey would be shafted on Newmarket.

As for a promise to make Belle Vue good enough to be in SL, well SL seems to accept it's good enough and have done for 20 years?...........

Tremendous point.

Maybe SL should only accept clubs who own their own ground??

Wakefield make every effort they can to improve the ground, it makes sense to do so as it was said at the time a better ground would mean better finances and a stable club.

Carter has improved the ground best he can and continues to do so, and he keeps the finances in decent shape too.

Aren't Salford at risk of collapse because they do not own the ground??

This Wakey bashing is really silly..... Go bash Salford.....
