Cas will be the only team in SL that has funded their own stadium, if and when J32 gets built.

The point is perhaps that they sought private investment for the project, rather than relying on the public purse.

Leeds and Hull KR, IIRC, are the only two that spring to mind who are currently funding their own developments entirely off their own back.

P Caddick paid for your ground not Leeds RL.

Your irony-o-meter does not recognise irony (in reality, you don't). I'd take it back and get a refund.





Yes you were and you were doing it by being over-dramatic. I am not sure how relevant Starbug was to the point you made as you were replying to a post by Leyther Matt. By being over-dramatic, you were trying to make Matt's point seem ludicrous.

'Wading through urine'? Where? Old stadiums do not have covered stands? Really? I have evidence to prove otherwise. Have you actually been to an old-fashioned stadium? Do you actually think the DW is better than, say, Central Park? If so, in what way?

The main reasons I prefer old-fashion stadia are because of terracing for those who want to stand and because of character. Character is a big issue to me, and I would say a few others. It's like a house. I would not buy a new build. Some people like yourself, may like the straight walls, plaster board, breeze-blocks and 'boxy' feel. I prefer walls that are not straight, corniches made from lime and plaster (rather than polystyrene ones from B&Q) and high ceilings.

Wakefield's lavatory facilities are disgusting. I have been in them many times when there has been a good few millimetres of p[ii[/is[is[/i on the floor. Not exactly 'wading' put an unacceptable level of urine by anyone's standards.



They aren't all covered. At Wakey (sorry to keep using them as an example), they have one covered stand, the block of flats at one end, and the rest is uncovered. There is no way that every fan in the ground could sit or stand in a covered part of the stadium.



In almost every way. I enjoy the atmosphere in grounds like Wheldon Road, but the facilities, access and infrastructure are laughably poor.



Would you still like your old house if the bathroom stunk of wee, the roofs leaked, and you couldn't park within a mile of it?

Fair enough, not convinced thats what he meant though.

Anyway, if its private investement who provided them we can add Leigh to that list then.

It would appear that the only stadiums permissable by the rabid members of these forums are those paid for ONLY by gate receipts - and in cash. No football clubs, no Councils, no Tesco's and no investment company. It's only "your" ground if it's been paid for by notes and coins through the turnstiles !

Urine in toilets? Blow me down I believe he is an FC fan. Plenty of parking places and an excellent park and ride.
