Cas haven’t really offered much of anything in general, in recent years. They had a few good years on the field under Powell, but won nothing. The facilities are a constant issue, they’re one of the only super league clubs that haven’t properly upgraded in some capacity. You’re still looking at the same facilities that Frano Botica and Sean Edwards used to grace.

No doubt some Cas fan will pipe up though because the bog walls have been repainted a few times since.

Down to opinions i guess.

The problem is a lot of clubs don't invest without a gun to their head. There will be chairmen out there saying that there's nothing wrong with handwritten ad boards...but that means the game doesn't get as big advert revenue.

Build… build what exactly? It’s not like they’re gonna bring through a generation of youngsters in a season.

Could they not start to recruit well before the end of their first season? And then build on that to give them a chance?

It's ok for you so long as nobody else gets a chance to improve.

You're just a Selfish, Sanctimonious, Supercilious, Narcissistic Leeds fan.

Its interesting to see Union are currently having a right kerfuffle over promotion and relegation or franchising.

Top flight situations are different Union has got big income but the clubs have spent it all and salary cap has gone up and up. But in the 2nd division its similar to League lots of small clubs with small fanbases and poor grounds. In recent years theyve blocked Jersey and Ealing coming up. Wasps and Worcester have also fallen from grace and find themselves in the lower leagues, similar to Bradford.

Intruiged what strategy Union goes for and if its similar to our IMG approach.
