Back to the stadium announcement, please.

Ta.

Top post! Posts like that are the reason i sift through 9 pages of trash.


Just heard about the anouncement (damn teletext is so slow these days) so thought i'd pop across to this board to see what the fuss is about. Quite a lot of crap to read through with not a lot to go on, so we'll just have to wait and see. Personally i read from the statement that you guys will find out where your home games will be next season, Saints have just sorted themselves out for next year similarly. I also imagine he may have a few words on WTWC hopes and plans for NM. However I would doubt there will be any fantastic news stating building will commence on monday. Anyway, good luck and i hope you get some positive news.

Cleaned up, if any adults wish to make a adult comment feel free, otherwise leave it be.

Anymore childish trolling and wind ups will cost you a week off.

Tuesday

I heard a little whisper regarding the announcement last night. It seems that there still needs to be some negotiation regarding Belle Vue, with in effect it currently being 'owned by WT and the developer. I think I heard it correct, apparently there are several options regarding the 'split up' of the pitch :
The pitch is split along the half-way line, a preferred option to some as we seem to have been playing in our own half for most of the season.
The pitch is split 50/50 length-ways, an option favoured by Ted as it would result in only putting out 1/2 a team and we could then cut wage costs.
The whole playing area is reduced by 50%, one that JK prefers as he thinks that teams wouldn't be able to beat us on the outside (I'm not so sure about this).
A radical idea proposed by the players is that WT have the pitch for one half and the developers have it for the other, this idea seems to have some merit as the players have already been practising this .
The final option I heard him say was the London model, whereby the pitch is split diagonally 50/50, just like a Harlequin design; the main stumbling block being that the RFL wouldn't prop it up financially ala the original model.

We will just have to wait and see

bit of fun is all al, sorry

Death before dishonour

No merger no share I would rather stand and fight to death and if we lose RL loses.

Nothing against Cas they have their dream we have ours they always said GH was their stadium well thats how it is for me, no changing the goal posts now sayinmg its a community facility that was never on the script originally neither was inviting Wakey in.

Plough on with NM all or nothing for me.

Ta. Just wondering if Dave was on here.

By far the BEST post I have ever read on this forum....
Well done REDWHITEANDBLUE.......

Top post, fully agree, NM or bust for me.

Sums it up for me too

As much as I admire him going out on the pitch, my gut feeling is that the announcement won't tell us much more then we already know. Can't see anything groundbreaking being said. Hope I'm wrong.

I see what you've done there, very clever.

There's one thing for certain though mate, it'll be from his mouth and his mouth only whatever is said. None of this "my mate told me this" etc. You'll know where you stand on something (whatever it'll be) and will be able to write off/confirm a rumour and then at least we can discuss that subject.
