Like I said: "Light years".

That's the point I was making.

The Cas stadium saga is as long as our own. This is the third attempt to my knowledge and still not a brick laid. Good luck to them. We will continue to fight for ours.

What news is that TRB.

Move who a little closer, Trinity or Tigers

Cas. It's regarding the statement from their developers which was just a progress report and doesn't really say a great deal in confirming anything.

Have the trust seen the document yet that Peter Box referred to at the last Council meeting.

So funding isn't secured and they don't have tenants to start the build, Cas look to be in the exact same position we're in https://www.castlefordtigers.com/mobile ... hp?id=5425

The main difference in the 2 projects is that Lateral have always been honest with the Cas fans and kept us informed directly. With apologies it seems that Yorkcourt haven't been quite so open with you.

He may have taken the most negative slants on the stadium, but among the spin it is the 2 most important.

Despite what many have repeated over and over, funding is not yet secure for the development and probably won't won't be until they sign up more retailers.

It has always been the part of this plan I found the hardest to understand financially. In that you need someone willing to give away £10m up front (for a stadium) in the hope that the rest of the development is a success. The country is littered with half empty retail developments, if the developer had at least kept some stake in the stadium (even for a fixed time), it would have remained as an asset and helped them secure funding for the rest of the project. As it is, they are going to need alot of watertight agreements (in a fast changing retail world), to ensure a profit before they lay a brick.
