lets just hang on to with our dreams of newmarket then

How do Sheffield Eagles afford to play at Bramall Lane?

they dont pay SL price for players contracts would be my guess!!

jeees sometimes i dispair

The country is on it's no matter what the politicians say. And the RFL are when all said & done threatening all clubs that don't make their criteria on grounds to build a new stadia Why couldn't this have been put on hold for at least couple of years to see what happens with the economy? Whats the point in having new stadiums if the fans don't have a job and can't afford to go and watch.
Sorry but I don't blame Wakey,Cas or even Box. This is down to the RFL forcing the clubs that can't afford it out of super league.Fans go on about Wakeys ground no shelter if it rains,poor toilets and parking facilities but most grounds are the same.
Bradford--- No shelter for fans
Leeds ---- No shelter for away fans and no parking facilities
Salford--- No shelter & poor toilets no Parking
Castleford-- No shelter (dare not risk bogs)
HKR---No shelter, no parking and stewards.
Most of us go to games and spend less than 2 hours in the ground. If we can't make do for just 2 hours then I think we should give up.
Rant over.

We have 3 yes 3 covered area's.

Main stand (sitting)
WRE
Princess street which most away fans go under in bad weather.

So saying no shelter

Think he's talking about 'away' ends. But the problem with the rest of them is that you can't change ends, whereas at Cas and Wakefield you can.

I also see what you are saying but I think we all either in business or personally make promises we don't keep.I promise to loose weight every year but it doesn't happen
I have a business in Wakey and my customers promise to pay in 30 days but actually pay in 60 and then I have to promise my supplier when my customer pays me I will pay them it just go's on and on. It's not easy out there and if you have to make false promises to buy some time then you make them.

The rules are there, like em or not, but our pi55 pot approach to this over the last few years is the reason why we are in the brown sticky smelly stuff !'" The "promise" that was broken is Thornes Park - and it wasn't the club that failed to deliver on that promise, it was WMDC. In little over a year from the plug being pulled on TP, Trinity had identified a new site, found a developer and worked with them to develop the outline of what the stadium facilties would look like. Selective memories by various people turn what is actually a fantastic effort by the club into a tale of continued mis-management!!! IMHO the impact of the withdrawal of WMDC's offer of land to help secure the finance package is nowhere near as drastic as it first appears (my admittedly lengthy post on the other thread explains this in more detail viewtopic.php?f=33&t=463017&start=465). The major obstacle in the way at the moment is planning permission. If we can get that, the new stadium at Newmarket WILL happen.
