Saints new ground looks brilliant, can't wait to stuff them in it

Hopefully I can realistically see every Super League team playing in modern facilities by 2084.

Hope they are all seater's as I will be 137 years old

You never know Hull FC might come in for me !!!

What a great looking ground Saints have. Can't wait to see it in the 'flesh'.

He's a Leeds fan.

Concrete started going in today for the extensions at The HJ.

How much will it add to the capacity the extensions to HJ?

I think that the Warrington Guardian website said it will go up to between 15,000 to 15,500.

Correct, Tesco want a Castleford store. The proposed works to the Pontefract store will have no bearing on this.

Yes, Opus's programme always had a target date of October 25th for the Tesco Wheldon Road planning application submission. I understand that the revised date is fluid, as Tesco are looking at several alternatives in Castleford and, as such, are not ready to sign heads of terms with Opus. Opus will not push the button on the planning application until this is signed... for obvious reasons!

They do seem to have switched their local focus somewhat to Wakefield and the current Ings Road proposal. That also said, they have more than one site option in Wakefield and things may change rapidly there too, depending how things pan out! I understand that no new Castleford store appears on their 2012 new store development programme but a new Wakefield store is provisional for starting on site late 2012 for an Easter 2013 opening. However, the Tesco store development programme changes weekly, and stores get put on and stores get taken off based on what they think is most deliverable in that year.

Tesco store development annual budget wallet is not quite as generously stuffed as once was and they have been over budget by quite a margin over the last two years... they still want to build as many new stores per annum, but have less money to spend overall.

This is just what I know and have heard through my networks, nothing more, nothing less!

AI: What's the latest you've heard with regard to the LDF? Is this still going to a PI (of sorts)?

Hope you've got the shield shined and the sword sharpened for the next 6 weeks.

In a dark (& angry) Stanley Rangers clubhouse AI was bombarded with questions as most WTW fans struggled to get our heads round a PI for Newmarket & the possible implications this may cause our club & franchise.
When questioned with "how long this ere public inquiry will teck" AI replied "18 months" & the room winced.
......My my my how fast time can fly!

We were right then & were right now!

Salfords ground won't be the newest for long. Who'll be next Wakefield or Cas? I know where my money is!
