Fair enough, if you say so, but it begs the question what the hell are the Cas ones made from Titanium!

Yes they came down within days of the council selling the ground back to us!!! They had been deemed safe up to that point but as soon as we got back control they became unsafe and were unable to with stand a short burst of oxy acetylene burning.

 Fair comment but think of the money we save on touch line white wash. It pays Gales wages.

Maybe if you paid him a bit more he could afford a decent haircut.

Please enlighten me. How or why did the council come to own the ground in order for them to be able to sell it back to you.
Just asking like.

They bought it for an agreed fee so we could pay some debts with a promise to sell it back at a later date for a quid, but to cover the costs charged a massively inflated rent which meant over the course of the lease the council made a tidy profit and in no way lost out despite what Cas fans would like to think. Happy to help.

And didn't they appoint Rodney Walker as club chairman during that period? Sound familiar?
