Let's not cherry pick the promises that RW has made because you know as well as I do that there's more broken ones than kept ones, such as "the financial packages for the stadium delivery are in place"

Can you show me an artical where he actually stated it was in place? You lot shouted from the roof tops saying you haven't got the money, but no where I have seen RW state that the money was there, because I believe I am correct in saying that he stated the stadium could not be build in one phase, but would meet the requirements for a License!!!.

Same as NW, the only people saying you had the funds were your fans.

Oh you are going to get all sorts of spam proving that you are so wrong with this statement... may I start by pointing you here...

I've heard him say it in a TV interview but there are a number of articles that also quote him saying it!


The Castleford Tigers CEO Richard Wright did a webchat this week - details at the following link - Hi Richard, first obvious question isAll elements of the funding package are in place and in the longer term we believe we can deliver the 15,000-capacity stadium. However, the recession is slowing everything down and it is harder to unlock the elements of the funding package. We have considered phasing due to the time scales of the RFL and the minimum standard we believe at the moment for the next licence will be between 10,000 and 11,000. We are focused on delivering phase one by 2012 to meet the timeline . For clarification, phase one would include all corporate facilities, better facilities for the fans with regard to food and toilets, the new Tigers bar and it should give us an opportunity to get 10,000 in every week. The best way to phase a stadium will be considered by the architects and achieving atmosphere will be a priority. Once they have developed the plans we will put them on view for the fans to look at and I think they will be happy with the outcome.

To answer the second part of your question, we cannot start to build today. We do not have a detailed design or detailed planning consent. Our focus is on delivering for 2012.

No.

The funding package was in place. Unlocking the components was a different matter.

Lieing..........No
Economical with the truth.........most definiteley

That means yes by the way.

so everything is rosy then

why you not building

Is it a combination lock and everyone has forgotten the code?

perhaps the code is 1873?

"all elements of the funding package are in place"

I've never known any project where, if funding is in place, once planning permission is granted the funding suddenly needs 'unlocking'. It's David Brent at his best.

Come on Fully, RW was spinning and lying lots of people knew it and now even the most dedicated Cas fans must know it.

It's not simple to understand.

They have the funding package in place but they needed to sell the ground to gain the majority of the funding. Cas couldn't do jack without selling ground (something they expected to do 3 years ago incidentally). You Wakefield fans seem to fail to take into account the mitigating factors.

RW has not been lying; he's made statements that have bit him on the backside timewise because obstacles have come out that have needed to be resolved before things could move forward.

The latest timeframe he's stated is not from Cas but from Opus North and Palmer Capital - the redevelopment of the Coliseum is now being driven by Opus.
