The neutral eye view of the whole situation.
I think the club are right to maintain their diplomatic silence. Treat this mischief-making with the contempt it deserves.

| Just wait until Yorkcourt read out the list of "pre-let" agreements they have.
If government wants the private sector to "pick up the slack" this will make their slack "rock hard".
This list will show definitively that NM is sustainable, the business is already there; signed up & chomping at the bit to get going.
Tesco's are 100% on board with NM & that's only the lions share.....
Business such as this can't be ignored, especially in times like these. You know it, I know it, Eric Pickles knows it & evidently Richard Wright knows it (which is why he's had to resort to moves such as this!).
FWIW I think WR's comments could come back & haunt him in a number of ways.
1. WTW are going to have a "frosty" relationship with him/CT, not good to have with your biggest crowd puller....
2. He's shown his true colours to all the RL family. Who will want to do business with someone obviously that low/desperate/underhanded.
3. If wind blows against him he's effectively signed his own warrant. Before this he MAY have been able to survive taking CT to NM- "The economy...boo hoo... The WMDC... boo hoo... The chemical licence... Boo hoo.. Ben Bailey... Opus/Tesco (watch this space).... Boo hoo.. But I kept us in SL by bring us to NM!!!"
Now for me he's screwed should it come to this.
Should it ever come to #3 I'm sure he'll have many a (red, white & blue) man happy to help him pack before his "midnight flit", just before the mass of track suits and pitchforks at his door!

| Quote Inflatable_Armadillo="Inflatable_Armadillo"
If James Elston had been asked and then written to a group objecting to WR, maybe Edinburgh House, saying that Castleford could ground share at Newmarket, intimating that there is no need to build a supermarket on the WR site.'"
I'd be awful if such a thing came about now wouldn't it????
In recent months I feel I've let myself down; I'd become somewhat liberal with the idea of the WMDC & had even been dubbed part of the "love in".... Well no more! I want them out of my district!! Devolution for one of the 5 towns. Let them stand on their own. The town is dead, all they have is J32, which IMO is looking more shabby (& I've always maintained TACKY). Let them live on the sweat of their own brow for once rather than being subbed by the city neighbors.
I hope this has annoyed senior WMDC staff too, the same objectors make claims of nothing short of council corruption & I hope they remember where RW stands in relation to all this when viewed within the context of all the back-bending WMDC have done for them. RW needs to remember he has to work with Box et al & they in essence hold the keys to his future (and that of WR)- why would you want to rub these people up the wrong way?? Desperation- As Meatloaf once said "It leaves a stain on all your clothes & no detergent get's it out!"- I guess that stains Amber!

| Quote youngcat="youngcat"But we just keep highlighting the point that we would not take part into the council feasability study. We are now telling everyone that fact, that is my point. Other clubs fans, the media and maybe those at the council will draw the conclusion that we were running scared and they were not.'"
How so, we choose against the study because we decided to go it alone and concentrate on our own development. The only side that was going to gain from it was Cas and that was patently clear and a part from that the study would have been of great cost to the tax payer.
They thought because they already had full planning permission and NM was on part Green belt they would be a shoe in, that's why the were up for it, they needed us more than we needed them. Both clubs know deep down that a ground share would more than likely lead to the dreaded M word and no one wants that.

What annoys me about you Alf is you have a brain cell, but clearly choose not to engage it.
You know full well what an emotive topic this is an choose to have a laugh with it.
Others I won't name speak without knowledge of the case or legislation, you on the other hand have a grasp of both, yet choose to bend both to match what little (& shrinking) case you have. Guess that comes from the colour of shirt you wear.
Jokes obviously... [size=50cough[/size

The dudes from Methley... Don't waste your breath Shifty. He's never a Trinity fan while I've got a hole in my behind!

| Quote youngcat="youngcat"Well i have just read his response. He has not slagged us of at all nor has he objected to NM.
He confrimed that they would take part in a council led feasability study and we wouldn't. He also says that Wakey can play at J32 if needed.
All we are doing is creating more publicity that we were not confident enough to up against Glasshoughton.
This may not be popular to some, but what he has sais has been said before. We have said we would welcome the Tigers to play at NM. And we did refuse to take part in the feasability study.
We should spend our time supporting our plans, in stead of going over the top like some have on here.'"
The thing about the so called feasibility study is the fact it wasn’t feasible. The parameters were complete bias! The study was to look into which ground would be built quickest. It said nothing about what would be the best location to benefit both clubs as a business. More importantly it had no reference at all to funding of the project! Imagine if we had agreed and the study decided on Glasshoughton, what would have happened? Newmarket would have been shelved and still no funding would have been available for Glasshoughton.
This is basically one last desperate act form unpopular guy trying to tap into some anti Wakefield sentiment and win some favour with his ever growing band of critics in Cas.

| Unfortunately Youngcat has a point in there somewhere. I'm as up in arms as anyone, and I may even have just fallen out with my best mate who just happens to be a Cas fan but ultimately we have to let this issue go.
Let's be upset tonight but concentrate on showing how good our case is tomorrow.
Our case is good and being so upset about RW comments could be seen by some that we are worried. We shouldn't be. The mood was positive this morning. Let's go back to that, and once we've got this moving again we can give all the stick we want to Wright. He's picked his side, let's not argue with him, let's just make sure he is on the losing side.
It's like when a team not as good as yours tries to pick a fight to stop you playing your better game. Win the game first, then smack them around when they are knackered!

| We've put Dicky on the losing side enough over the past decade.
I'm all for cracking out the woad and going pre-roman on his ass!
If he wants a battle, let's give him a battle!
