Now that the Franchise have been awarded I wonder what things have been hidden in the closet and when can we expect them to become public?

I'm just wondering how long before Wakefield and Castleford drop their stadium plans.

Wakefields plans are at Public Inquiry nothing secretive about that. Regarding Castlefords, god knows in fact no one seems to know for sure.

oooohhhh, the old 'doubts have been raised about our stadium by a casual observer on RLFANS.com again so highlight Castlefords lack of progress' tactic

Was on the M62 today and there definitely was a JCB on the Cas 'slag heap' where the ground is going!

may have just been some kids on a joyride from Diggerland though!

That was someone burying all the previous drawings, plans and portfolios of previous stadium promises in a giant landfill.

Stadium plans didn't make a difference for the licensing criteria. Only stadiums that would be open for 2012 were considered as part of the criteria.

Thats rich coming from Hull,Bransholme anyone?

Don't know,I'm just wondering how long it will take O'Connor to drop Widnes.

There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever that these two teams will be playing out of brand spanking new stadiums by 2015. They've said so in their franchise bids. Their fans on here have categorically said it's going to happen too. That's good enough for me

Ooh good comeback. The signs are certainly there.

Well, I'm afraid.

Anyway back to your non-existent stadium.

Who's sulking. Can you read properly? So defensive Slugger. Anyone would think you don't have faith with all the mopping up your doing around the RL boards.

Chill out

At least get it right.

The money is there in exactly the same way Wakey have the money - dependant on a planning decision.

Wheldon Road is sold, the money is released when OUTLINE planning is granted. In the same way Wakefield's money is released dependant on the outcome of the PUBLIC ENQUIRY.

So in that case, Cas are in front on the basis of Outline planning permission will come through before the public enquiry result if the timetables haven't changed since I last saw them.

I'll race ya.

For me, I can't wait for us both to be in new stadia, and the stuff the rest of the RFL world who want to merge and groundshare us. If I didn't hate you lot so much, you'd be my second team.
