You see, the thing is that the Postage Stamp Stadium is actually owned by the club. Whilst it has obvious faults, every single penny spent in that stadium (apart from the ones in the awful bogs) is income for the club and the club alone. The stadium is also the club’s training base, so no expenditure elsewhere in terms of this. And the club have absolute full control over the stadium - no been held to ransom by other tenants or by the owners of the stadium.
There’s a lot to be said for owning a delapidated wreck.

I said this to my husband last night, we always try and grab a seat if possible it’s much more fun tbh,but anyway when they announced the women’s team as well as the under 19s team would be playing there you can understand the reluctance to knock it down and start again,it will have to happen at some point of course but it’ll be a loss to the community even when the new stadium does arrive it’ll never be the same.

I thought it was a distress flare.

I hope the idiots now realise it gave us (Cas) a little bit longer to get our breath back and re-group as the ref halted the game.
All clubs have a few.

They don't have that much intelligence. The brain cell of an ameba.

Can’t see what tha has to do with anything tbh.

Apart from the fact that Cas still aren’t matching the original SL criteria in terms of stadia.

Was the length of the pitch a criteria? Might of been for new grounds but I find it highly unlikely that it could be applied retropectively wouldn't you?

We lose a game and you’re back with antagonising comments. Must be a sad sad life.

Where were you after the Catalans win? Was it suddenly not 'Wigan week' anymore?

I think you'll find they are matching. It may be old but age wasn't part of the criteria.

Nitpick all you like, my point is perfectly valid. Everyone except Cas and Wakey either renovated or rebuilt. In the third decade of SL my opinion is that it is a disgrace that they are allowed to get away with it.
