You could have just said no.

Well considering there's 1700 (and odd) seats you're wrong, again.
And evidence? Oh you have none, you're being a conspiracy theorist.

If you actually compare each stand at The Willows and Wheldon Road you will see The Willows is clearly better. And for the record I love Wheldon Road and hope Castleford stay in Super League. |

And unless I'm mistaken you're not allowed to build stadia without planning permission....
But, facts don't exactly suit your clear anti-Cas bias now does it?
As for Halifax they'll miss out again in July because matched up with SL clubs they wont beat out anyone but Wakey, and Widnes will be replacing them.
Yep, you can get relegated and complain about it and get reinstated when you're in the Championship ![]()
 you biased git, wheldon jungle rd or what ever it is now is awful!. 3 little tin roofs over tiny terracing and a main stand more suited the 1950s makes it better than our ground?, the willows might be old but its looked after and has miles better facilities than your dump.

At the risk of indulging is solipsism, I'm not sure whether there's anything about the club that upsets him, beyond the fact that it's supported by me. |

Such high class facilities as terracing that doesn't go up in even increments, a little dark alleyway under a tiny seated stand and the smallest side stand you'll see outside of Belle Vue where all your fans stand...yep high quality facilities there  In no way can you really say the Willows is a better ground than Wheldon Road, the only stand I'd even say is better is the big stand you have behind the posts to the right of where the Salford fans stand.

Nothing including you ' upsets ' me about Castleford , I have thouroughly enjoyed my visits to Wheldon road , despite losing on every occaision , but it still doesn't change what happened , deny it all you want , as for Glasshoughton , believe me salford have suffered much worse than you about their stadium , you can check out their stadium thread if you like , the one with actual pictures of it being actually built
Not just ' plans '  |

So come on then, for the last time PROOF, stop making yourself look like an idiot. How can we deny something that only happened in YOUR head? Just because you keep saying it - with no PROOF it doesn't mean it happened, does it? Show us some actual evidence, which doesn't exist for that matter, then we would maybe believe you, but alas, no such evidence exists and you just look like a plank making crap up to try make it come off as rules changed for Cas, you sad strange little man.
You clearly have some beef with Cas for whatever reason it is, I don't know but it's clearly on show here and it's making you look like an imbecile.
As for Salford's plans, how long did it take them to get to where they are? Exactly, and who's funded the stadium? Exactly.
Cas have taken half the time it did Salford and doing it all of their own backs, not getting the council, Peel holdings etc etc to pump money into the project.

Are you kidding? The away end is a great view at the Willows, the main stand stretches the full length of the pitch (unlike Cas) and the terracing in the Shed goes much further back than anywhere at Cas.

Having just checked, it has less seats and a lower capacity, so how does it have more terracing & seats etc?
Quote: Leyther_Matt "The Willows is a far better ground than what Wheldon Road is! Any one of our 3 stands puts any of yours to shame.'"
The open ends at each ground, the one at Cas is better and the Princess street stand is a LOT better than the Shed
I'll give you the main stand because it runs the full length of the sideline (although it has less seats...) and the large stand behind the sticks is better than the Wheldon road end. |
