Quote: Starbug "Simply by accepting your or Castlefords assertians as to either new or refurbished stadiums , the RFL are changing the goalposts from last time , even Salford will probably see the benifit of this as I dont expect the new place at Barton to be ready for the start of the season and it most certainly isn't at present
Last time you had to physically have a stadium in place at the time of the decision , Leigh had a 75 % complete stadium and it was obvious that it would be completed in time for the start of 2009 , but it was refused , yet the RFL accepted Salfords plans , Brewery Field and the nice pretty pictures they provided , and both Cas and wakeys graphics
Basically you are down '"
This I don't get.... we have given the league a signed contract for leasing Oakwell - Barnsley... a grade A stadium and we can be there from game 1 - 2012 and stay for for as long as it takes... still using belle vue as a training and admin base.
The second option are fully funded temporary improvements to Belle Vue (to B grade standard) all of which will be moved to Newmarket upon completion, and used on the training reserve grade pitch.
We have A grade marks in community, youth & development, and commercial streams the envy of most SuperLeague teams... we are already in SL and would have to practuically dismantle the organisation for the championship (including the community work which is unsustainable with the financial resrictions in the championship)... and we have fully funded plans to spend the full cap next season and beyond!
Currently we are far stronger and more stable than many in the SL and croeds and memberships are fast improving... regardless of the current poor form of the team...
YES we have been in admin... but we are not the only ones.. and have already been punished for that (double jeapordy?)
this whole scenario is really giving me the poops!
